Uses :

• Waterproofing of roof slabs, sunken slabs, basements, water tanks, sunshades, etc.
• As a bonding agent for uses in repair and plastering
• For making polymer mortar for repairs mortars etc.
• Treatment for leaching and salt petre action
• Multipurpose mortar admixture for injection grouts
• Additive to cement based paints for waterproofing

Areas of Application

• Basements,
• Roof slabs and screeds,
• Water retaining structures,
• External plastering,
• Bathrooms
• Balconies.

Features & Benefits

• Corrosion - Chloride-free hence no chances of corrosion of reinforcement bars.
• Water seepage - As an effective pore filler, helps to fill capillaries and pores to prevent water seepage.
• Consistency - Makes the mix cohesive and denser, hence the concrete & plaster has reduced permeability .
• Economics – Most economical water proofing additive, reduces water absorption.
• Setting & strength - Does not affect the setting time and strength. Of the cured concrete.
• Compatibility – Compatible with all types & grades of cements.

Method of Application

Hand Mixing

• Add Dr. Fixit Powder Waterproof to the dry mix of cement sand and mix evenly with a spade, until an even mix is obtained.
• Add the measured quantity of potable water as per decided W/C ratio and mix to a homogeneous & uniform
• consistency concrete / mortars.
• Place the mixed concrete / mortar into shuttering, provided
• Cure the concrete / mortar surface as per regular practices of water curing.

Machine Mixing

• Charge the Cement & sand as per the mix design into concrete mixer & mix for one minute. Add 500 g of
• Dr. Fixit Powder Waterproof for every 50 kg bag of cement. & mix for one minute.
• Add the measured quantity of potable water as per W/C ratio and mix for 2-3 minutes to a lumps free homogeneous concrete.
• Place the mixed concrete mortar into shuttering provided.
• Cure the concrete / mortar surface as per regular practices of water curing.

Precautions & Limitations

• Do not add Dr. Fixit Powder Waterproof directly to water.
• Do not add Dr Fixit Powder Waterproof in wet concrete/ mortar

Uses

Sikament FFT (VC) is used for producing optimised coloured wet, semi-dry/noslump concrete with a very low water content. Wet, Semi-dry/no-slump concrete production is generally used in the manufacture of machine-made concrete products associated with instant de-moulding such as:

• Block Paving (grey / coloured)
• Cement Tiles (grey / coloured)
• Paving flags
• Kerbstones
• Edgings and other items for garden and landscape design
• Building blocks and bricks

Area Of Application :

• For concrete repairs - Spalled concrete of floors, columns, beams, chajja, slabs, parapets, etc.
• For waterproofing – Small roof terraces, sunken portions of toilets & bathrooms, chajja & lift pits, balconies
• As a bond coat – For bonding of new concrete to old concrete, masonry stone work, plastering
• For cladding – Fixing or re-fixing of slip bricks, tiles, stones & marble bedding
• As external rendering – Weatherproof & frost resistant render
• As bonding slurry coat for pinhole treatment on concrete surface
