VPI 610 PU Injection Resin (new in 2008) PATENT PENDING
VPI
610 is a highly flexible, one component, solvent free, polyurethane
injection resin suitable for water cut-off in wet dynamic cracks and
joints. Reaction with water yields a very flexible, but tough foam.
Inject with a single-component pump. It incorporates Margel at 5% by
volume.
610 utilises a specially formulated blend
of chemicals that provide excellent anti-corrosion properties to
protect structures from corrosion. It is currently patent pending in
the UK.
The product can be pumped into
cracks, open fissures and voids in concrete and masonry structures,
making an excellent cavity sealer. Where it meets with water, either
through pre-injection or through flowing ingress, it rapidly expands
forming a solid (cured) rubber like product in under 60 seconds. The
product exhibits very good adhesion to various substrates. The greater
the volume of water, the faster it sets. It can even be pumped into
holes that have flowing water and will still cure and seal, although it
is not specifically formulated to stop fast flowing or water under
undue pressure.
This will eliminate water flow
through structures such as tunnels, footings and pilings, once cured,
the embedded VPI will readily travel through the structure, coating
steel and reducing corrosion in the same way as our other Margel VPI
products.
Product Ships as (20L Resin, 2L Activator & 1Kg Inhibitor) producing upto 330L by volume
This
product will expand upto 15 times its initial volume, catalyzed by
water. It cures to a dense rubber like state containing approximately
5% by volume of VPI Corrosion Inhibitor distributed evenly.
TESTING (to prove VPI embedded within cured foam structure)
