flexible injection system
Uses

Properties

Typical uses of Carbocryl include the following :

The following typical results were obtained at the specific

mixing ratio A:B of 1:1 pbvol with a blend A1:A2 // water:B2 of
20:0.5/20:1 at an ambient temperature of 20C.

Pressure sealing through injection hoses

Sealing of water even under high pressure

Sealing of cracks in concrete foundation piles, tubbings

etc.

Large area sealing of soil contact structure elements, viz.

tunnels, trenches etc.

Advantages

Excellent penetration capacity due to waterlike viscosity

Chemical resistance vs. most organic, or inorganic liquids

Adjustable curing speed.

High sealing effect
High elasticity
Swells reversibly with the entry of moisture, preventing
further ingress of water into the structure.
No isocyanates - suitable for potable water contact

Instructions for use

The injection resin should be a dual component, water

swellable, vinylester based resin, which upon mixing yields
an elastic gel, capable of absorbing and desorbing water.

Equipment

Carbocryl Wv is a vinyl ester based three component injection

system. It comprises of resin (Wv A1), accelerator (Wv A2)
and a catalyst (Wv B2). Mixing the components leads to a insitu reaction forming an elastic gel, which is capable of
absorbing and desorbing water.

For injection, it is recommended to use an injection pump

(eg. WIWA 2K injection unit), with a specific mixing ratio of
1:1.
Mixing
The recommended standard formulation is prepared as
follows:
Prior to injection, 2.5 percent of the accelerator (component
A2) should be mixed with component A1 (resin). In a second
vessel, the same volume of water (component B1) will be
mixed with the hardener (component B2). Thus, the standard
formulation comprises 20kg comp. A1, as delivered, 50g
comp. A2 and 1kg comp. B2 dissolved in 17 litres of water.

Carbocryl Wv

The freshly prepared solutions are serviceable approximately

in 4 hours. Plastic or wooden paddles should ONLY be used
for mixing and homogenisation of the product.
In case of a reaction decrease, add the component A2 to the
component A1 again.

Application

Storage

Fix feeder pipes and packers at the recommended positions,

as specified in the contract drawings, using an appropriate
drill.

Shelf life

The solutions should be conveyed separately via high

pressure hoses to the compression head of the pump, from
where it will be injected into the concrete, masonry, soil or
rocks via feeder pipes and packers.
After injection of the acrylate, flush out the compression head
with water.
Ensure gel time is taken into consideration while specifying
the radii of injection.
In the case that two different resins are being injected at the
same site, ensure that the higher viscous resin shall be
injected first followed by the lower viscous resin.

All products have a shelf life of 12 months from the date of

manufacture, if kept in a dry store in the original, unopened
packs.
Storage conditions
Store in dry conditions in the original packs. If stored at high
temperatures and/or high humidity conditions the shelf life
may be reduced.
Precautions
Health and safety
In case of contact with skin, rinse with plenty of clean water,
then cleanse with soap and water. In case of contact with
eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek
medical advice. If swallowed, seek medical attention
immediately - do not induce vomiting.
