Property profile:                    

Factory-mixed, surface waterproofing agent - "flexible waterproofing grout" - in compliance with ibh Guide Lines (Industrial Association for Construction Chemicals and Wood Preservatives  e.V., Karlstr. 21, 6000 Frankfurt am Main). Self and independent supervision in compliance with ibh Guide Lines.

The product conforms with the Code of Practice "Notes on the execution of waterproofing bonded to surfacing and tile coverings  in interior areas", as per Feb. 1988,  published by the  German Tile Industry Trade Association  - a member of the Central  German Construction Industry Association e.V (ZDB), Bonn, Group 2.1.1 - Plastic, cement mortar combinations.

High chemical resistance up to a degree of "strong attack" in compliance with DIN 4030 and resistant to liquid manure according to DIN 11622-2, section 4 (Examination Report Nr. 2810 and 2815 a/93) as well as an independent test at the Chamber of Agriculture's  Futterkamp Experiment Farm in Schleswig-Holstein.

AVIRON Elastogrout is a flexible, cementitious waterproofing grout with a high plastic content. Because of its flexibility, small movements of the substrate (but not settlement movements) are taken up and shrinkage cracks are bridged. AVIRON Elastogrout does not dry out when properly applied and is also suitable for use as a  silicification grout in the AVIRON Kiesol System (deep protection, fast setting).

Range of use:                        

1)       New construction waterproofing of buildings (cellars and building elements) against ground moisture and damp from the outside as well as rising damp in cellar wall bearing areas. Here, it fulfils the requirements of DIN 1053 for shear strength and analogously of DIN 18 195, part 4 and part 5 for horizontal waterproofing.

It is also used for waterproofing against pressure water from the inside in solidly constructed water reservoirs (service water, liquid manure tanks) with a water depth < 5 m. It can be used for pressure water waterproofing on concrete construction (at least B 25) in the AVIRON Kiesol System. In new construction waterproofing, the AVIRON Elastogrout coating is applied to the water side.

The substrate must be sound, generally even, free of gravel pockets, wide open cracks or seams and clean (no parting agent residue). Normal substrates are concrete,  masonry  work and  render P II and P III.

 

2) Waterproofing in wet rooms in compliance with the Code of  Practice for tile layers, for vertical surfaces (at least 30 cm above water inlets) under tiles and for horizontal surfaces below tile coverings. AVIRON Elastocement is used for cementing.

3) Special applications:

a) Lightly flexible, cementitious coatings in stables, liquid manure tanks and sewers.

b) Flexible filler for garages and warehouses (light loads).

c) Reinforcement of construction joints and sealing coves by bedding Solutan Reinforcement Fabric (Art. No. 4553) or for cementing Sulfiton Water Stop (according to the directions in the Technical Information Sheet for Art. No. 4813).

d) Surface protection and carbonation inhibitor for concrete surfaces in facade and splash water areas as a precautionary measure or final protective coating.

e) Frictionally-coupled horizontal barrier for even building blocks (sand-lime brick, aerated concrete, etc.).

 

Working Instructions:          

A package of  AVIRON Elastogrout (bags/canister) consists of the powder part P and the liquid additive Z. Both parts are mixed with a hand mixer, e.g. Beba  BO 50, so that a grouting consistency is achieved. The liquid part of the ready-to-use grout is approx. 30%. Since the mixture thickens somewhat afterward, rinse the canister that held the liquid additive out after a few minutes and add this to the grout, mixing well. The material should be stirred often during work and tools cleaned in between. For a thinner consistency, e.g. for spray applications but also for grouting, an addition of water - up to 10% of the liquid  additive (approx. 0.3 l per 3.5 l canister and approx. 0.7 l for a 7 l canister) - is possible.

The substrate to be coated should be damp or silicified with AVIRON Kiesol. Concrete surfaces, especially horizontal surfaces, should be primed with AVIRON Kiesol thinned 1:1 with water. This primer must be well absorbed by the substrate and the surface air-dry. Pre-wet dry, porous wall surfaces, prime with AVIRON Kiesol and allow to absorb. After the primer has been absorbed, two coatings of AVIRON Elastogrout are required for ground moisture and damp and three coatings for water pressure, taking the total application rates given below into consideration. Before applying a fresh layer, the previous layer must have set (touch-dry). When using in silicification treatments with AVIRON Kiesol, the time between applications is 15 to 30 minutes, otherwise 3 to 6 hours.

In general, the individual layers should not be applied too thick, otherwise cracks may appear. Layer thickness per working operation is approx. 1 mm which corresponds to 1.3 kg/m². Afterward, brush the grout lightly with water or smooth with a neoprene float.

Finish by spraying exterior cellar  walls with AVIRON Kiesol. Resistance to rain is achieved after 3 to 4 hours without silicification and after approx. 1/2 to 1 hour with silicification. To achieve the full waterproofing effect, the waterproofing grout must have set and dried thoroughly. At normal temperatures and weather conditions, this usually takes 2 to 3 days for vertical, exterior waterproofing. Since drying conditions are not as favourable in reservoir areas, waiting time is at least twice as long. If a subsequent final coating is not to be applied in these areas, always finish with AVIRON Kiesol.

 

Technical Notes:                    

Minimum working temperature +5°C, maximum temperature +30°C (substrate temperature). Do not use on dusty, dry or water saturated (shiny wet) substrates. Allow the individual layers to dry well.

Tools and Cleaning:              

Beba BO 50 or similar mixing equipment, masonry trowel, filling knife, grouting broom, brush.

Spraying equipment:               Desoi  pressure chamber with spray nozzle

Clean tools while fresh with water.

 

Application rates:                  

For waterproofing against:

-     Ground moisture:                 approx. 2.5 kg/m²

-     Damp:                                  approx. 3.0 kg/m²

-     Water pressure:                   approx. 4.0 kg/m², dependent on substrate.

AVIRON Kiesol, dependent on load, at least 0.2 kg/m² up to a max. of 0.6 kg/m².

 

Shelf-life:                                

a) Powder P:          At least 1 year stored dry on wooden grids, protected from moisture.

b) Liquid additive Z:                   At least  6 months stored cool but frost-free in closed containers.
