YAPRHEO®

Waterproofing Concrete Additive

Liquid crystallized concrete additive that provides structural waterproofing by forming crystals within the concrete.

It is used in the production of all kinds of ready-mixed concrete.
Thanks to its capillary effect, it forms crystals and provides water impermeability.
In addition to providing waterproofing, it strengthens the mechanical properties of concrete and increases its resistance to chemicals.
It does not contain chloride, has no corrosive effect, protects reinforcing irons.

Uses

It is used to provide complete and continuous waterproofing in all reinforced concrete structures that will be exposed to chemicals that can damage concrete such as water, moisture, sulphate and chloride ions; in sub-foundation and curtain concretes, bored pile foundations, well foundations and curtains, water tanks and treatment plants, drinking water and wastewater tanks, elevator pits, swimming pools, dams and irrigation channels, concrete pipes, tunnels, subways and culverts, cisterns, retaining walls, underground parking lots, precast concrete elements.

Mixing Ratio

The mixing ratio is recommended to be 1% – 2% of the total amount of binder. For best results, the ratio
should be determined by laboratory experiments to be carried out beforehand. For detailed information,
YAPKİM Technical Department should be consulted

Method of Application

The binders and aggregates entering the mixture are taken into the mixing mixer. The additive weighed in the scale is added to the mixing water. ıt is added to the dry mix. It is mixed until a homogeneous and desired consistency is obtained. (Recommended mixing time is between 30 and 45 sec.)

Recommendations and Warning

  • Concrete additives should not be added directly to the dry mix. The steps written in the application method
    should be followed.
  • The mixing ratio should be determined by laboratory tests to be carried out in advance, depending on the
    desired concrete class and properties.
  • It can be used with mineral additives (slag, micro silica, etc.) in cases where a high percentage of binder
    material is required
  • It is not recommended for use with YAPRHEO® HYPER series products
  • Polypropylene and steel fibers can be used against shrinkage cracks.
  • The amount of additives in the mixture is calculated by multiplying the total amount of all binders by the
    additive mixture ratio. If more than the recommended amount of additives is used, the setting of the concrete may be delayed. In this case, the concrete should be kept moist during the formwork process by performing the necessary curing processes.

Packaging

30 kg

Storage Conditions

It should be stored in environments where the ambient temperature is higher than +5°C and protected from direct sunlight. Materials stored at lower temperatures should be allowed to thaw at room temperature without using direct heat. After the product is thawed, it should be mechanically mixed and made homogeneous. Shelf life is 12 months from the date of production in the original and unopened packaging and under appropriate storage conditions.

Occupational Health and Safety

First, all necessary Occupational Health and Safety measures should be taken in the areas where the application will be done, and the procedures should be carried out by people who have technical knowledge and equipment. Occupational Health and Safety instructions must be followed in all applications In accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety instructions, it is obligatory
to use all occupational safety equipment such as work clothes, protective gloves/goggles/masks during the application. It is necessary to ventilate the work site. Warehouses and stock areas should not be approached with fire. Contact of the product with skin and eyes should be strictly avoided. In such a case, the area where the product comes into contact should be washed immediately with plenty of water, and medical help should be sought immediately. Food and beverages should also not come into
contact with the product. The product should be stored and protected in places away from children. For more information, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be reviewed. In addition, the application of the product should be done by people with sufficient technical knowledge, equipment, and experience. The responsibility in this regard belongs exclusively to the user
