Applicability By Compressive Strength

It is no dilatation, free of shrinkage cracks and no curing after application with minimal range of layer thickness at 1 mm to 2 mm or at 1 /25” to 5 /64”. Applied as a layer, it has no expansion in both the plastic and hardening phases without compensation of water. Layer of KF-F is a water impermeable under the hydraulic pressure at 8 bar and stable to aggressive environment at pH of 1.

Preparation & Application
  1. Add 1 part of water into 4 parts of KF-F powder by the volumes and mix for ½ minute. That ratio might be gradually corrected for the different spray equipment on a job site. The consistency of mixed KF-F batch is close to the oil paint.
  2. Apply KF-F on a concrete or masonry surface as a layer by the roll, spray or brush with thicknesses at 1.5 mm t 2 mm, or .059” to .079” with consumption at 0.85 Kg/m2 to 1.1 Kg/m,2 or .174 LB/ft2 to .226 LB/ft2 respectively.
  3. Use KF-F at a minimum temperature on the concrete surface not below of 23°F (-5°C).
  4. Hardening time is at 1.5 to 3 hours in normal conditions.

Essentials and Curing
  1. After application, do not provide curing procedure and do not use curing compounds.
  2. Do not spray water on a freshly applied KF-F surface.
  3. Do not cover fresh KF-F with films or blankets.
  4. Average of expected results by 3 days:

W = is at 1,550 PSI or W12 - water impermeability;
ρ = 2300 [kg/m3] - density;
α = 10.5 [10–6 m/m°С] - coefficient of linear thermal expansion;
λ =1.93 [W/m °C] - coefficient of thermal conductivity;
E = 3.45 x 104 MPa = 3 x 104 kg/mm2=30 kg/mm2 - Young modulus;
