1 No... - EXTERNAL WATERPROOFING OF BELOW GROUND CONCRETE WALL & SLAB ///=///=///=///=///= Waterstop Mud slab Sandwich application : just prior to concrete pour, apply coat AQUAFIN-IC in slurry or dry shake form at.5 lb/yd (. kg/m ) to prewatered mud slab or underlying concrete. (Refer to Guideline No. G-00) Apply cove (seal strip) of AQUAFIN-MORTAR-IC at slab/wall joint. Apply AQUAFIN-IC to vertical surfaces in coats at lb/yd (0.75 kg/m ) each. Total application = lb/yd (.5 kg/m )

2 No... - INTERNAL WATERPROOFING OF FOUNDATION CONCRETE WALL & SLAB SUBJECT TO GROUND MOISTURE ///=///=///=///=///= Waterstop Seal strip: Prime cavity with coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry at.4 lb/yd (0.75 kg/m ) and while still fresh, fill flush to surface with AQUAFIN MORTAR-IC. Walls: Apply coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry at.4 lb/yd (0.75 kg/m ). Slabs: Apply coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry at.4 lb/yd (0.75 kg/m ). Note: for basements being converted to offices or habitable areas that will receive carpeting, VCT, hardwood flooring, or similar, install AQUAFIN VAPORTIGHT COAT-SG vapor and moisture emission barrier in lieu of AQUAFIN-IC if vapor emission exceeds lbs/4 hrs 000 ft (0.6 g/hr m ). Note: In areas with poor drainage conditions or where high hydrostatic pressure is anticipated, apply a nd coat of AQUAFIN-IC at the rate of. -.4 lb/yd (0.75 kg/m ). Apply second coat while first coat is still green (tacky). Increase application rate for slabs to.0 lb/yd (.0 kg/m ), applied in one coat. Refer to Specification No Refer to product data sheet for further information.

3 No... - INTERNAL WATERPROOFING OF BELOW GROUND CONCRETE WALL & SLAB SUBJECT TO HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE ///=///=///=///= Waterstop In case of leaking wall/slab joint, install reglet (seal strip) of AQUAFIN MORTAR-IC. Refer to Specification No , Item. Apply coat AQUAFIN-IC to slab at.0 lb/yd (.0 kg/m ). For new construction apply in dry shake form. Note: for basements being converted to offices or habitable areas that will receive carpeting, VCT, hardwood flooring, or similar, install AQUAFIN VAPORTIGHT COAT-SG vapor and moisture emission barrier in lieu of AQUAFIN-IC if vapor emission exceeds lbs/4 hrs 000 ft (0.6 g/hr m ). Apply AQUAFIN-IC slurry to vertical surfaces in coats at lb/yd (0.75 kg/m ) each. Apply nd coat while st coat is still green (tacky). Total application = lb/yd (.5 kg/m )

4 No WATERPROOFING OF TILED SWIMMING POOL AQUAFIN-IC COVERED WITH THICK SET MORTAR ( mud bed ) Water level Detail Ceramic tile tile grout thin set mortar 4 nd layer mud bed st layer mud bed AQUAFIN-IC Apply AQUAFIN-IC slurry to interior pool surfaces: walls: coats at lb/yd (0.75 kg/m ) each. Apply nd coat while st coat is still green (tacky) slab: coat at.8 lb/yd (.5 kg/m ) After AQUAFIN-IC has reached initial set, but is still green (tacky), apply first trowel coat of sand/cement mortar (:) mud bed at approx. ¼ thickness. Do not add lime to this first trowel coat, as it may inhibit bonding of AQUAFIN-IC. After first trowel coat has sufficiently hardened (approx. 4 hrs) apply remainder of thick set mortar ( mud bed ) to reach specified thickness. Install thin set mortar, ceramic tiles and tile grout as per specifications. Note: For swimming pools with thin set mortar bed only, refer to Specification No

5 No WATERPROOFING OF RESERVOIR / WET WELL waterstop Install cove of AQUAFIN MORTAR-IC to wall/slab joints ( ½ x ½ [8 x 8 mm]). Apply coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry to slab at.0 lb/yd (.0 kg/m ). Apply AQUAFIN-IC to vertical surfaces in coats at lb/yd (0.75 kg/m ) each. Apply nd coat while st coat is still green (tacky). Total application = lb/yd (.5 kg/m ) Corrosion protection: Apply coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry to ceiling at.5 lb/yd (0.8 kg/m ). For covered structures, apply coat of AQUAFIN-IC to roof slab at.8 lb/yd (.5 kg/m ). For exposed structures, new construction, apply - coats of AQUAFIN-K/M to roof slab at /6 - / ( mm). For retrofit, apply AQUAFIN-K/M as above or coat AQUAFIN-IC at lb/yd ( kg/m ), depending on circumstances.

6 No WATERPROOFING OF SEWAGE TANKS (Clarifiers, digesters, pumping stations, etc.) Waterstop For added protection, install seal strip: Prime cavity with coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry and while still fresh, fill flush to surface with AQUAFIN MORTAR-IC. Alternative, install cove with MORTAR-IC. Apply coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry to slab at.8 lb/yd (.5 kg/m ). Apply AQUAFIN-IC to vertical surfaces in coats at.4 lb/yd (0.75 kg/m ) each. Apply nd coat while st coat is still green (tacky). Total application =.8 lb/yd (.5 kg/m ). Note: a) Repair static cracks with AQUAFIN MORTAR-IC. b) Repair dynamic cracks and/or joints with AQUAFIN JOINT SEALING TAPE-000 or 000-S. See Specification No c) For above ground tanks subject to movement use AQUAFIN-K/M lining in lieu of AQUAFIN-IC. See Specification No

7 No WATERPROOFING OF ELEVATOR PIT/SUMP PIT Waterstop For leaking joints, install seal strips: Rout out reglet, prime cavity with coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry and while still fresh, fill flush to surface with AQUAFIN MORTAR-IC. Note: stop active leakage with AQUAFIN FIX 0-S. Walls: apply AQUAFIN-IC to vertical surfaces in coats at lb/yd (0.75 kg/m ) each. Apply second coat while first coat is still green (tacky). Total application = lb/yd (.5 kg/m ) Slab: apply coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry at.0 lb/yd (.0 kg/m ).

8 No INTERNAL WATERPROOFING OF UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE / / / / / / / / / 4 Install AQUAFIN-IC to freshly poured slab in dry shake form at.0 lb/yd (.0 kg/m ). (Consult Technical Guideline G00 for details.) Where waterstops are not installed or joint is leaking, rout out reglets along construction joints ( x [5 x 5 mm]). Fill flush to surface with AQUAFIN-MORTAR-IC. Apply AQUAFIN-IC slurry to vertical surfaces in coats at lb/yd (0.75 kg/m ) each. Total application = lb/yd (.5 kg/m ) Extend AQUAFIN-IC slurry in one coat at.0 lb/yd (.0 kg/m ) approx. (0.6 m) beyond wall/floor and wall/ceiling joints.

9 No WATERPROOFING OF CONSTRUCTION JOINTS 4 The following alternative methods can be used where standard water stops cannot be installed or where additional waterproofing protection is desired: Apply coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry at lb /yd (.0 kg /m ) to joint surface prior to pouring connecting section. Reglet (seal strip) x (5 x 5 mm): prime cavity with coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry at.4 lb /yd (0.75 kg /m ) and fill flush to surface with AQUAFIN MORTAR-IC, approx..0 lb/ft (. kg/m). Install cove (seal strip).5 x.5 (8 x 8 mm) of AQUAFIN-MORTAR-IC, approx..0 lb/ft (. kg/m) at slab/wall joint. Apply coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry at lb /yd (.0 kg /m ) to joint surface prior to pouring connecting section, or if this is not feasible, rout out reglet( x [5 x 50 mm]), prime cavity with coat AQUAFIN-IC slurry at.4 lb /yd (0.75 kg /m ) and fill flush to surface with AQUAFIN MORTAR-IC approx..0 lb/ft (.6 kg/m).

10 No PLUGGING WATER LEAKS Locate source of leakage in the concrete. Rout out the leak in a U-shaped configuration to sound concrete, minimum (50 mm) deep and (5 mm) wide. Clean cavity and remove any excess water. Form a plug with AQUAFIN FIX 0-S and press this into the cavity, filling to approx. depth. Hold this in place for about 0 seconds, until it has set. In case of a strong water flow, insert a drain (i.e. /8 - / clear plastic pipe) into the cavity immediately before inserting the FIX 0-S. When plug is fully hardened and leakage has stopped, remove any excess material and prime remaining cavity with one slurry coat of AQUAFIN-IC. While slurry is still moist fill cavity flush to surface with AQUAFIN MORTAR-IC. Where a drain has been used, carefully remove drain when mortar has reached at least / of its final strength, and plug the remaining hole as described above. When mortar has set, apply surface waterproofing (AQUAFIN-IC, AQUAFIN-K or AQUAFIN-K/M) over concrete surface. Refer to product data sheets for further information.
