TP FIX

Flash-setting, cement-based plugging material

A ready-to-use, shock-setting water plug. Setting within 2–3 seconds at the points where it contacts water, it provides waterproofing and is used to stop active water leaks and to dry out surface water.

Areas of Use

• To stop leaks on interior and exterior surfaces
• Damp spots
• Voids and fissures
• Sudden water discharges
• Leaks
• In concrete shear walls and water tanks, water pipes, basements, metros, tunnels and underground structures, for preventing all kinds of active water leaks; gives excellent results on water-bearing openings under pressurised or non-pressurised, negative or positive conditions.

Advantages

• Stops flowing water in a very short time.
• Allows easy and fast application.
• Cement-based applications can be made over it within 1 hour.
• Does not develop shrinkage cracking.
• Has high mechanical strength.
• Any type of waterproofing material can be applied over it.

Consumption	Approximately 2 kg of powder per 1 litre of void
Shelf Life	Can be stored for 1 year in its unopened original packaging in a dry environment at temperatures between +5°C and +25°C. Opened packaging must be used immediately.

Application

Applied by hand. The appropriate amount of powder (approx. 5 kg TP FIX per 1.4–1.5 l of water) should be mixed with water and kneaded. The resulting dough-consistency mortar must be used without delay. The hole in the application area is widened to at least 3x3 cm to reduce the water pressure. The mortar is shaped into a cone by hand and placed into the leaking area in a single move. Constant pressure must be maintained for at least 2 minutes, until the material hardens. Once the material has set, the surface should be quickly smoothed with a trowel. For holes that cannot be closed in one go, the above procedure is repeated from the edges towards the centre. Not applied on brick, autoclaved aerated concrete or weakly plastered surfaces.
