Specification

Water-stopping crack injection resin

The flexible, low viscosity, polyurethane, crack injection resin

system shall be Nitofill UR63, a two part solvent-free liquid
polyurethane. When mixed in the proportions supplied and
injected into cracks in concrete, the resin shall form a slightly
flexible and impermeable barrier in both dry and damp
conditions.

When used in conjunction with Nitofill WS60, a foaming two

part polyurethane injection resin, it shall form a permanent
seal in cracked concrete.

Fixing injection packers

The injection packers shall be inserted into pre-drilled holes

at intervals along the length of each crack. The distance
between each packer will depend upon the width and depth of
the crack. Spacing shall be close enough to ensure that the
resin will penetrate along the crack to the next point of injection
This will normally be between 200 mm to 500 mm.

The surface of the cracks between the packers shall be sealed

with a band of Nitomortar FC, 30 to 40mm wide and 2 to 3 mm
thick. Both sides of any cracks which go all the way through a
wall or slab shall be sealed in this way. In the case of a wall or
slab cracked all the way through, packers shall be located on
both sides with those at the back placed at midway points
between those at the front.
