Recommended for those comfortable with two component (1:1) injection grouts. Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX is low-toxicity, two component 100% solids, MDI based polyurethane grout. It will displace and stop flowing water, forming a tough flexible foam firmly bonded to the concrete surface. SEMI FLEX refers to the products’ ability to create a tough semi-flexible seal in cracks and joints. Leak-Proof SEMI-FLEX is a low toxicity polyurethane which forms a very durable closed cell grout foam. This cured material is also flexible enough to withstand future joint movement without losing adhesion to the surface. This product will also expand to fill voids with the use of an accelerator (Leak-Proof ACC). The Leak-Proof ACC accelerator should always be added into the mixed grout when injecting into voids or cracks wider than 1/4 inch (6mm), to ensure the grout creates a nicely formed foam. The Leak-Proof ACC will also speed up the reaction time of the grout when it contacts water, enabling the technician to shut down flowing leaks.

Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX Crack Injection Polyurethane Grout Uses Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX can be used to stop water under a hydrostatic head and provide a resilient tough and semi-flexible closed cell polyurethane foam. Cracks in tanks, tunnels, pipes, basements, pools, subways or any structure where water intrusion must be stopped, are capable of repair with Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX. This a well rounded industrial, commercial and residential polyurethane injection grout for use on the vast majority of crack injection applications, including medium and tight cracks. MAIN APPLICATIONS· Leaks in new tunnel construction. · Cracks in concrete basements. · Maintenance of transportation subways. · Settlement cracks in concrete pools and tanks. · Cracks in water dams and reservoirs. · Leaks in concrete pipes.
IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE BENEFITS· Simple 1:1 by volume mix ratio. · Can be used with high pressure pumps (up to 2500 psi) or with low pressure pots or convenient side by side cartridges (below 100 psi). · Components after mixing will provide up to 60 minutes “pot life” in the absence of water. this allows single component pumps to be utilized. · Initial low viscosity ensures excellent travel in cracks. · Closed cell foam provides outstanding water resistance. · Adhesion to wet concrete creates a durable water stop even under hydraulic pressure. · Flexible foam allows + 100% compression/elongation. · Rapid foam development cuts off water flow. Volume of foam may be 3-25 times the original liquid volume depending on crack dimensions. The wider the crack the greater the foam volume. · Capable of very rapid cure when used in conjunction with an available accelerator. High Pressure Procedure (for high water flows) Leak-Proof CUT is supplied in a simple 1:1 ratio unit. It can be dispensed through a 1:1 injection pump or premixed and dispensed through a high-pressure pump or grease gun. Low Pressure Procedure (for low water flow) Leak-Proof CUT can be supplied in side by side cartridges and is easily dispensed with a manual gun through a 1/4" mix tube. Leak-Proof Injection Ports are used for this procedure. Can also be delivered through a standard grease gun with a flexible whip line to the 3/8" Plastic Hammer-In Packers. TECHNICAL DATA

When displacing water the foam development is rapid. Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX will continue to increase adhesion to the concrete for several hours after grouting. ACCELERATOR An optional accelerator is available for stopping severe flowing water quickly. See addition levels under Technical Data above (levels are based on “A” portion). Surface Preparation NOTE: Low Pressure Injection - Use Leak-Proof Ports n Plugs and fit the fat end into 5/8" holes drilled straight into the crack about 1/3 to 2/3 the depth of the crack. High Pressure Injection - Use Leak-Proof HD Packers (3/8's Plastic Hammer-In Ports) in 3/8" holes. Drill the holes at a 45o angle to intersect the crack approximately 4" below the concrete surface for a 8 inch thick wall. These holes should be drilled alternately on opposite sides of the crack allowing an 8" distance between them. This should ensure intersection of the crack. Alternatively, the holes can be drilled straight into the crack to a depth 2/3 the thickness of the wall, spaced every 3 inches for very tight cracks. (This method allows for higher injection pressures without damage to the concrete through blowouts.) Coat the packer or port with the grout prior to insertion into the cleanly water flushed drill hole for a superior seal. After fitting injection ports or packers, the drill holes should be flushed out using water delivered through a 1/4" hose from a pressure pot (low pressure) or a high-pressure pump or grease gun (high pressure). Be careful to check that each of the holes intersects the crack and a path is available for subsequent injection. Where no travel is evident then additional holes should be drilled to provide the necessary access to the crack. Mixing and Application The side by side cartridge or two component pump is the preferred equipment for grouting with Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX. However, if a one component method is being adopted then Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX should be fully mixed by pouring the contents of "B" into "A" and mixing with a low speed power mixer (200-300 rpm) until an even and smooth consistency is developed. Scrape the sides and bottom of the mix container to ensure a complete mix is obtained. It is advisable to mix just a part of the unit initially - 1 litre would be appropriate - to determine rate of travel of the resin and to confirm how much material can be used well within the pot life. Injection of the mixed Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX is then carried out, commencing at the lowest injection point. As the Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX moves into the crack, water is displaced ahead of it. Once all the water is released then Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX will follow the water - when this is observed, injection should move on to the next packer and the same process continued along the crack until it is completed. Excess Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX appearing at the surface of the crack can be easily removed after it has completed foaming, using a sharp knife. Clean Up All equipment must be cleaned immediately after use. Thorough and repeated flushing is required. The equipment lines should then be filled with Leak-Proof Pump Cleaner to eliminate air/moisture from the lines. Cured material should be mechanically removed. Safety and Toxicity Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX is an MDI based two component polyurethane. These recommendations are common with all MDI based polyurethanes. Within the generic group of polyurethane polymer technology the MDI based polyurethanes are considered the safest in terms of safety and toxicity. Isocyanates are designated substances and are capable of producing a severe allergic breathing problem in some people. If any difficulty at all with breathing is experienced the person should immediately vacate the work area. Particular care should be taken to avoid mixing and application in confined areas. Avoid breathing vapours at any time. Two component systems are capable of producing injury to, or destruction of, skin and eye tissues. Precautions must be taken to prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact and it is essential to protect the eyes from splashes. Repeated skin contact can also cause sensitization. Protective clothing, rubber gloves and chemical goggles should be worn when working with these products. A facemask with organic cartridge and a particulate filter is usually adequate. Air supplied mask is suitable for use in confined areas. NOTE: Although reactive chemicals are needed to form Leak-Proof SEMI FLEX the final cured material is a non-toxic polyurethane foam.
