8 Since 1991, QUADEX LLC has been developing and manufacturing superior quality lining and structural restoration materials for water and wastewater infrastructure. All Quadex materials and application systems are designed to restore deteriorated structures to like new condition and prolong infrastructure service life for up to 50 or more years. When combined with Quadex s highly engineered spinmaster and spraymaster equipment, Quadex Repair Materials can renew old manholes and other infrastructure quickly, precisely and deliver decades of uninterrupted service. GEOPOLYMERS Corrosion Protection Level High GEOKRETE GEOPOLYMER MORTAR Fully structural and corrosion resistant protective lining A Geopolymer is a formulated mortar comprised of aluminosilicate powder with an alkaline activator to form a monolithic mineral polymer with ceramic properties. A geopolymer is not an epoxy or a plastic blended with aggregate. GeoKrete Geopolymer cures through a process of polycondensation and possesses proven, high early and long-term compressive strength. Additionally, with superior bond strength, GeoKrete liners can be applied in layers and under multiple mobilizations. The chemical composition of GeoKrete Geopolymer makes it inherently resistant to the microbial induced corrosion prevalent in many sewer environments. Geopolymers contain greatly reduced concentrations of calcium hydrates, commonly found in cementitious mortars, furthering the suitability of GeoKrete in low PH environments. Leaking, corroded or compromised tunnels, pipe, manholes, wet wells and other similar structures where advanced design engineering is required. Features & Benefits Precision blended and mixed material allows for high measures of quality control Forms a monolithic, inorganic polymer structure for much higher resistance to acids and greater surface durability Cures through polycondensation and bonds to itself the liner can be applied in layers and under multiple mobilizations Easily navigates pipe deformities, deep pipes, pipe bends, non-round pipes, slopes and separated joints GeoKrete is specially designed for ease of use with mechanical pumping, spraying and spin-casting equipment. 6
