Chemical resistance Method 1
CONCRESIVE® INJECTION RESINS have
excellent resistance to most aqueous substances
and liquids. These include:

• Sea water
• Brackish water
• Effluent and raw sewage
• Acids of low concentration

midway relative to those at the front (in instances
where the thickness of the member and width of
the crack will possibly inhibit the penetration of
grout, Method 2 should be considered). Once all
nipples have been bonded the cracks are then
sealed at the surface with either CONCRESIVE®
1418 (which will cure sufficiently in 2-3 hours) or
CONCRESIVE® 2200 (which should be allowed to
cure overnight). It is obviously imperative that
cracks be sealed on both sides.
Injection
Thoroughly blend and mix the 2 components (Part
A & B) ensuring a uniform colour is achieved.
Pour the mixed material into the INJECTION GUN
and insert into the lowest point. Inject material
until it seeps out of the nipple above. Blank the
first nipple and continue the injection process in
the nipple above.
Repeat the process until the whole length of the
crack has been injected. Ensure that injection is
effected at a steady rate. Allow to cure overnight
and remove nipples. Repair any blemishes with
either CONCRESIVE® 1418 or CONCRESIVE®
2200.

Horizontal application
For simple applications such as horizontal slabs,
wider cracks can be filled simply by pouring in
CONCRESIVE® 1315 or 1320. It may be
necessary to make a small surface reservoir with
mastic or a similar product by applying around the
crack perimeter. This will avoid spillage and
wastage of CONCRESIVE® 1315 or 1320.
Method 2
Using a percussion drill with a 10mm bit, drill
access holes on either sides of the crack at 45°
angles to the centre of the plane of the crack.
The drill is to pass through the centre of the crack
plane at a depth of half the slab thickness (A-B) =
½CD. Holes are drilled at regular intervals on
both sides of the crack. (See Figure 3).
Using an angle grinder, cut a groove 3-5mm deep
over the crack. Clean the groove and fill with
CONCRESIVE® 2200. Build the CONCRESIVE®
2200 2-3mm thick over the crack, extending 15-
20mm either side of the crack.

The back side of the member is sealed where
possible using either CONCRESIVE® 1418 or
CONCRESIVE® 2200 and allowed to cure. The
proprietary injection packers are inserted then the
nipple is screwed onto the first packer to be
injected.
The supply line is connected to the first packer
then pumping of the resin can commence. For
injection to vertical cracks always start at the
lowest point.
The injection resin will spread out from the point
where the injection hole intersects the crack
making total contact at the interfaces. The resin
will also fill any voids and subsidiary cracks.
Pumping of the resin continues until resin exudes
from the crack on either side of the access hole.
The injection packer is removed and the access
holes temporarily plugged. The process is then
repeated in an adjacent access hole.
After initial cure of the CONCRESIVE® resin the
temporary corks are removed and the access
holes are permanently plugged to their full depth
using CONCRESIVE® 2200 or similar.
Injection to stop water ingress:
CONCRESIVE® 1355 will stop the flow of water as
it foams and cures. When the water ingress
stops, start injection with CONCRESIVE® 1320.
Sufficient CONCRESIVE® 1320 should be
pumped through and out of the crack to ensure
all water and dust is removed.
Allow 48 hours for the concrete to dry if
CONCRESIVE® 1315 is to be used as the
secondary resin. Blowing out with nitrogen may
assist.

Watchpoint
It is strongly recommended that the services
of an injection specialist are used for Method
2.
1. Before sealing or injecting any materials, it is
important to ascertain why and how the
cracks originated, this will significantly affect
the selection process of repair materials.
2. All cracks should be thoroughly cleaned to
ensure a strong bond develops between
interfaces.
3. Equipment should be cleaned immediately
following use with cleaning solvent.
Estimation
1 litre will fill 1m² at 1mm thickness.
Storage
Store under cover out of direct sunlight and
protect from extremes of temperature. In tropical
climates (ambient temperature of over 35°C) the
product must be stored in an air conditioned
environment. CONCRESIVE® 1320 & 1355
should be kept in cool boxes preferably bedded in
ice, to extend the working time of the product.
Safety precautions
As with all chemical products, care should be
taken during use and storage to avoid contact
with eyes mouth, skin and foodstuffs (which can
also be tainted with vapour until product fully
cured or dried). Treat splashes to eyes and skin
immediately. If accidentally ingested, seek
immediate medical attention. Keep away from
children and animals. Reseal containers after use.
