Aquastop application. Ammerheim Aquastop is a hydrophobic impregnation for concrete, brick, stone. Application methods and operating procedures

A new generation material - waterproofing Aquastop (aquastop) is used to install multi-level systems to protect building structures from moisture.

Its use allows you to obtain the required degree of waterproofing in different situations, even in the presence of a significant influx of groundwater or other types of water, including even if there is a pressure flow of moisture.

To ensure comprehensive waterproofing, three types of dry mixture from this manufacturer are used (each of them performs its own specific function), and if it is necessary to seal the seams between panels, wall and foundation blocks, an Aquastop waterproofing key is used, which is capable of retaining a significant influx of water.

To obtain high-quality waterproofing, the following materials are used:

• Multicomponent slurry based on cement with the addition of inorganic chemicals.
• Fixative powder, produced in the form of a dry mixture, ready for use. It allows you to increase the strength of the treated surfaces and seal the main pores present in building materials.
• Solvent-free silicon based insulation. The silica agent allows you to seal residual micropores after applying the fixer to the surface to be treated.
• The Aquastop waterproofing key is made of extra-strong rubber that is resistant to aggressive environments. The basis of the material is ethylene-propylene rubber, which is distinguished by its high density, which ensures the retention of the main influx of water.

Technology for constructing waterproofing systems based on Aquastop

Applying waterproofing from the inside using the Aquastop system is a multi-stage technological process, and the quality of the overall result depends on compliance with technological requirements at each stage:

It should be taken into account that the sludge has little viability, so it must be diluted in an amount that can be produced in 5-10 minutes.

• After the layer has dried, it is necessary to apply a fixative powder, which is rubbed dry into the surface of the building structure. The resulting layer is covered with silica, sealing even the smallest pores.
• Subsequent treatment involves applying a second layer of sludge, which will need to be allowed to dry completely.
• The last element of the system is another layer of sludge, onto which standard plaster is subsequently applied.

The Aquastop (Hercules) waterproofing obtained as a result of these operations will provide reliable protection of building structures from moisture.

Benefits of using mixtures

The advantages of this system include the following qualities:

• The ability to provide waterproofing of surface and underground objects, the material can also be used when the surface being treated is completely covered with water.
• The Aquastop waterproofing system can be used without performing work on preliminary removal of groundwater (drainage).

The resulting coating can prevent the pressure inflow of ground and other waters (in this case, the retained pressure can reach 70 meters of water column).

• The ability to instantly eliminate the consequences of groundwater breakthroughs.
• Simple application technology on various surfaces; installation does not require the use of expensive equipment.

All these properties of Aquastop compositions make it possible to create a reliable hydrobarrier.

Mastic Aquastop

Speaking about materials of this family, it is worth remembering another type - waterproofing mastic Aquastop lacrysil, produced in the form of a ready-to-use mixture. This mastic can be applied to various surfaces - metal, concrete, brickwork, roofing.

Compound

Dry mixture based on high-quality special cements, fractionated aggregates, water-repellent and modifying additives.

Application

Waterproofing of building foundations, facades, plinths, basements, balconies, terraces, as well as walls and floors in any premises with possible water ingress. For interior and exterior use.

Foundation requirements

Concrete, brickwork, cement screed, cement plaster. The age of cement-sand foundations is at least 28 days, brick and concrete foundations are at least 3 months.

Execution of work (instructions)

The base must be dry and durable. Before applying Aquastop, it is necessary to remove from the surface weak and loose layers, oil stains and other contaminants that interfere with the adhesion of the waterproofing to the base. Clean out seams and cracks, deepen them by 1-2 cm and fill with appropriate material. Significant unevenness must first be leveled using appropriate materials. On the internal corners, make roundings (fillets, fillets) with a radius of at least 3 cm, on the external corners, make chamfers at an angle of 45°. Before applying Aquastop coating waterproofing, the base should be moistened abundantly.

The prepared solution is applied with a brush or spatula. The mortar mixture is applied in 2 or 3 passes in a layer of uniform thickness. It is recommended to apply the first layer with a brush. The following layers are applied in cross directions with a brush or spatula onto the hardened but still wet previous layer. The fillets and chamfers in the corners are carefully processed during the application of the first layer.

During work and in the next two days, the temperature of the air and the surface of the base should not be lower than +5 °C and not higher than +30 °C. During the first day of hardening, the waterproofing layer must be kept moist and protected from precipitation, direct sunlight and freezing. Applying subsequent coatings, creating a screed, plastering and gluing tiles is possible no earlier than 3 days after installing the waterproofing.

To prevent excess moisture from entering the room, various protection methods are used. When choosing waterproofing, not only the conditions of its application are taken into account, but also the material of the structure that needs to be protected. Aquastop waterproofing is a universal product that approaches waterproofing issues comprehensively. Experts consider such a system to be an advanced product that has no analogues.

What is Aquastop waterproofing?

Aquastop waterproofing is a specific material that is used to obtain a coating that is capable of not allowing water to pass through, is quite reliable and durable. It is used for finishing various bases:

• made of brick;
• plasters;
• aerated concrete;
• cement;
• concrete;
• gypsum and other materials.

This waterproofing is excellent for priming porous surfaces and moisture-sensitive materials. Main scope of application: finishing of residential, office and industrial premises inside and outside, for priming loggias and balconies. It is also used for bathrooms and kitchens that have high humidity.

A base with such waterproofing is not capable of allowing moisture to pass through and can withstand pressure of several atmospheres. This elastic mixture has good adhesive characteristics. After the treated coating has dried, it can be coated with paint or facing tiles can be laid on it.

Peculiarities

Can be produced in different versions. Aquastop consists of a powder that, when diluted with water, creates a water-repellent film on the treated surface.

It is used in places with complex configurations and in places that have been subjected to dynamic loads with displacement.

It can be used to treat surfaces with any base, for example, stone, foam blocks, blocks.

This material is absolutely harmless, so it can be used for drinking water containers.

Can be sold as a concentrate and as a ready-to-use formulation.

Some types contain substances that prevent the formation of various rots.

Positive sides

1. Versatility. This insulating material can be used to cover contaminated surfaces. It is not necessary to put it in order, which reduces the amount of work several times.
2. Easy to use. There is no need to purchase additional technical equipment. The technology itself is quite simple; waterproofing is easy to do with your own hands.
3. Reliability. Aquastop waterproofing contains components that can withstand high liquid pressure. Thus, it is used in areas of serious breakthrough.
4. Durability. Able to withstand the aggressive influence of alkaline and saline substances, petroleum products. Not susceptible to mechanical damage.
5. Use temperature. Can withstand a wide range of temperature fluctuations.
6. Low consumption of other materials. Various paints and varnishes and adhesive compositions are consumed less during their processing.

Application

This insulating material is used to finish almost any part of the room, from the foundation to walls and balconies. It must be applied to a hard surface. Application of Aquastop waterproofing includes the following steps:

• First the base is prepared. For stronger adhesion of the material to the base, it is better to clean it;
• install the Aquastop key. When applying subsequent layers of waterproofing, the base must be moistened. Waterproofing cannot be applied to a dry surface; the result may be a poor quality coating;
• Apply a layer of sludge, having previously diluted it and mixed it thoroughly with water. The result should be a solution with a homogeneous and soft consistency. It should be remembered that sludge is a material with a short pot life. That is why it is diluted in such a proportion that it can be used in literally 10 minutes;
• After the layer of sludge has dried, a fixing powder is applied. It is quickly rubbed into the base in the form of a dry mixture;
• the next layer is a silicicate, which seals even micropores;
• then apply a second layer of sludge, which must dry completely;
• the very last layer is also slurry. The final finishing of the surface is done using plaster;
• waterproofing is carried out at a temperature not lower than +5 degrees.

Consumption and price

For 1 m2 with a coating thickness of 3 mm, 4 kg of dry mixture is consumed. The price of one package is 560 rubles.

The price of a 25 kg Aquastop package is 480 rubles. Consumption for a 1 mm layer is 1.5 kg/m2.

The price of sealing cords with a specific rectangular profile is 140 rubles/linear meter. (depending on the specific section).

Conclusion

Aquastop waterproofing perfectly protects the foundation and base, balconies and loggias, facades and terraces, floors and walls from even the slightest penetration of moisture.

Waterproofing materials protect surfaces from condensation, leaks, and smudges. The wear resistance of a structure directly depends on how protected its individual parts are from contact with water.

There are many types of waterproofing materials on the market that solve various problems. Coating waterproofing AquaStop is especially popular. It is distinguished by a wide range of applications, as well as environmental friendliness. The rules for its application do not require complex devices or special knowledge.

Purpose

Due to its absolute environmental friendliness, AquaStop waterproofing is used not only for external, but also for internal work. With its help, building facades, balconies, floors and walls in wet rooms are protected from moisture. The product does an excellent job of sealing foundations and interpanel seams of multi-story buildings.

The material is also widely used in insulation work in the construction of swimming pools, fountains, and the installation of water tanks (including drinking water). It is used to treat walls before laying tiles, and bases when installing heated floors.

It is also used to protect the structures of hydraulic engineering and wastewater treatment facilities.

Waterproofing "AquaStop" can be used to treat the following construction bases:

• concrete;
• cement-sand plaster;
• lime plaster;
• brick;
• porous aerated concrete;
• gypsum;
• drywall;
• wooden surfaces.

It can be applied to building foundations of complex configurations. The product is used both in the construction of new buildings and structures, and in the renovation of old ones.

Composition and properties

The composition of the coating waterproofing "AquaStop" includes high-quality sulfate-resistant cement, modifying additives, as well as fractionated fillers. Cement provides a high degree of adhesion to the building base. Additives and fillers give the product strength, elasticity, resistance to mechanical stress, and protect the treated surface from the influence of salts and alkali.

The composition does not contain elements harmful to human health and the environment, due to which AquaStop waterproofing is recommended for use in residential premises.

It can be used to treat floors, walls and ceilings in kitchens, laundry rooms, bathrooms and shower rooms before finishing.

In addition, waterproofing is resistant to lime water, chlorine, detergents and cleaning products used in household conditions.

When treating surfaces, waterproofing components hide defects by penetrating open pores and forming a protective layer. This factor protects surfaces from moisture, makes them more resistant to wear, and increases their service life.

Water resistance is the main indicator of waterproofing materials. In this case, it corresponds to class W. Waterproofing brand “AquaStop” can withstand water pressure of 12 atm. The tensile strength of the material is 20 MPa, the adhesion strength is 1 MPa.

The coating obtained as a result of applying waterproofing can not only protect surfaces from moisture, but also prevent the pressure flow of ground and other waters.

Release forms

The term “Aquastop” is used for a whole line of moisture insulators. The best selling is dry mix, which must be mixed with water before use until a homogeneous mass is obtained. In this case, labor costs increase slightly, but transportation costs are reduced, and space in warehouses is also saved. Moreover, the mixture itself is cheaper than analogs purchased ready for application.

The product is produced in paper bags weighing from 20 to 50 kilograms.

It is purchased for the activities of construction companies, and is also used in the private sector in the construction of housing and outbuildings.

Ready-made mixtures are more expensive, but for a small amount of work their use is considered more effective. They do not require containers for mixing the mixture and save time. There are additional quality guarantees for consumers with little experience in construction work.

The AquaStop line contains compositions with specific properties:

• moisture-insulating soil, which is used to reduce the porosity of surfaces;
• mixtures containing bioactive additives that prevent the formation of mold;
• mastic to protect against cracks at joints and seams;
• a primer that increases the adhesion of the base, which is applied before plastering, painting, or tiling.

For example, Aquastop lacrysil waterproofing mastic can be applied not only to concrete and brickwork, but also to metal surfaces, which makes it possible to use it for roofing work.

Mastic is used for both primary and repair waterproofing of roofing materials, including roofs made of aluminum, steel, tiles, as well as reinforced concrete structures.

When hardened, the mixture turns into a rubber-like material, which, in addition to possessing the standard properties of AquaStop waterproofing, is resistant to ultraviolet radiation. Also Among the assortment, the popular compositions “Hercules” and Perfekta stand out.

Surfaces coated with mastic can be painted with acrylic compounds in various colors. It is also always possible to limit yourself to applying waterproofing and refuse further decorative processing.

Coating rigid waterproofing mixture based on cement, fractionated sand and hydrophobic polymer, for the protection of basements, basements, swimming pools, bathrooms, blind areas, foundations, etc. from water penetration.

Preparing the base:

The base on which the waterproofing coating is applied is cleaned of dust and dirt, loose particles, oil, paints, etc. manually or mechanically (using high-pressure water, sandblasting). Defective concrete is healed with a repair compound. The prepared base must be moistened before applying the main coating.

Preparation of the solution:

Pour the mixture into a container with clean water (at the rate of 6.0-6.5 liters of water per 25 kg of mixture) and mix mechanically until a homogeneous mass is obtained (about 2-3 minutes). Let the solution sit for 2 minutes, then stir for 1-2 minutes.

The prepared portion of the solution is used for its intended purpose within 40 minutes (after adding the mixture to the water). If the solution loses its mobility, it is permissible to re-mix without adding water.

Application:

The prepared solution is applied to the prepared surface to be treated using a hard brush, broom, spatula or appropriate spray equipment in one layer. If necessary, apply a second layer, strictly in a perpendicular direction, while the first is still “fresh”. During the entire hardening period, the freshly applied solution must be protected from direct sunlight, rain, wind, etc. Mixture consumption: About 4-5 kg/m2 when applied in two layers with a total thickness of 2-3 mm.

Packaging and storage

Kraft paper bags of 25 kg. The shelf life in a dry place and original packaging is 12 months from the production date indicated on the packaging.

Security measures

Do not let the dry mixture get into your eyes. In case of contact, thoroughly rinse the affected area with running water and consult a doctor if necessary. Wear goggles and protective clothing when working.
