Description:

Turbo-Seal is a single component, highly elastomeric polymer rubber infused with special adhesives.
Turbo-Seal
is ideally suited for waterproofing below grade structures. Due to its superior flexibility, adhesiveness and self-sealing characteristics.
Turbo-Seal
is highly effective in repairing and restoring damaged waterproofing membrane systems.
Turbo-Seal can applied by rotor/stator pump and or spray equipment.

Features:

Benefits:

  • Adhesive in wet conditions, active water leaks, and on surfaces with foreign materials
  • Partial bentonite composition
  • Remains as a flexible gel. Durable to vibration and continuous movement.
  • One component. No mixing of chemicals, easy to apply, safe, easily stored and transported.
  • High solids content, solvent free made from recycled materials.
  • Durable. Chemically resistant, resistant to freeze/thaw cycling, dry/wet cycling.
 
  • Ease of application and effectiveness.
  • Seeks out leaks and stops them.
  • Waterproofing is maintained. No loss of adhesion or separation.
  • Cost-effective, reduce labor, save time, fewer mistakes in application.
  • Non-toxic, non-flammable, Safe application.
  • Effective in many different types of environments.

Uses:

Turbo-Seal U is applied in any below grade structure. Turbo-Seal U can be applied to areas experiencing high volume active water leakage or minimal water leakage. Preventative sealing is also applicable. Suitable applications include the following types of underground structures:

  • Tunnels
  • Underground Garages
  • Water Tanks
  • Septic Tanks
  • Concrete Reinforced Levies
  • Subway tunnels

Areas of application include:

  • Shrinkage Cracks
  • Moving Joints
  • Pipe Penetrations
  • Settlement Cracks
  • Construction Joints
  • Joints in Precast Concrete
  • Segments
  • Expansion Joints

Turbo-Seal U is injected into leaking areas after drilling to the damaged waterproofing layer restoring its integrity.


Packaging:

Turbo-Seal is packaged in 20L (5.3 Gallon) buckets.


Injection Yield:

2.25 ft2/gallon at 7/10 wet thickness - 4.00 ft2/gallon at 2/5 wet thickness


Coverage:

2.25 ft2/gallon at 7/10″ wet thickness 4.00 ft2/gallon at 2/5″ wet thickness. Coverage may vary with the application technique used. Actual coverage and thickness used depends on the size of the void behind the structure and the porosity of the structure.


Transportation:

Turbo-Seal is classified as a DOT non-hazardous material.


Shelf Life:

Indefinite, when stored according to recommended storage guidelines.


Technical Data Composition:

Turbo-Seal U is a polymer rubber infused with special adhesives.

How to Apply Turbo-Seal AS:

Equipment
Turbo-Seal U should be applied with a rotor stator pump. For most applications, use an injection pipe with an outer diameter of 5/8″.

Attachment of Turbo Sheet
Check the thickness of the concrete. Drill 5/8″ diameter holes to the waterproofing layer at 3.25′ intervals. Install the injection packers. For most applications, an injection pipe with an outer diameter of 5/8″ and a packer are used to make an injection opening and inspection holes at 3.25′ intervals.

Preparation
Check the thickness of the concrete. Drill 5/8″ diameter holes to the waterproofing layer at 3.25′ intervals.Install the injection packers. For most applications, an injection pipe with an outer diameter of 5/8″ and a packer are used to make an injection opening and inspection holes at 3.25′ intervals.

Injection
Inject Turbo-Seal U slowly at low pressure and continue injecting until counter flow from other drilled holes is seen. Remove the injection pipe from the drilled hole that Turbo-Seal U has counter flowed through. Fill the hole with non-woven cloth and polymer mortar. If multiple locations have been drilled, repeat process as necessary. Some applications may require an initial application of polyurethane or other material to fill excessive voids.

Clean Up
Dab excess Turbo-Seal off of the pump with a cloth. Additional cleaning can be done with a thinner.

Health and Safety
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable gloves and safety glasses. See MSDS.
