MasterLife WP 3122 - Unique waterproofing admixture combining crystalline and hydrophobic pore-blocking ingredients
What is MasterLife WP 3122?
MasterLife WP 3122 is a waterproofing liquid
admixture having both integral crystalline capillary
and hydrophobic pore-blocking functions. It is
designed for use in above- and below-grade
applications.
MasterLife WP 3122 consists of various active,
proprietary chemicals. These active chemicals
react with the by-products of cement hydration to
cause a reaction, which generates an insoluble
crystalline deposit throughout the pores and
capillary tracts of the concrete. Thus, the concrete
with MasterLife WP 3122 reduces water
permeability. This product also has a self-healing
property under presence of moisture and can heal
cracks up to 0.5 mm.
What is MasterLife WP 3122 used for?
MasterLife WP 3122 should be used in all
structural concrete that is constantly or
intermittently in contact with water such as sea
walls, tunnels, basements, structural and precast
concrete. MasterLife WP 3122 can also be used
as a waterproofing admixture for cement mortars
and plasters. Typically used for the following
structures:
- Building basement and foundations
- Sewage and water treatment plants
- Dams, canals, tunnels, harbours
- Tunnel and subway systems
- Water reservoirs
- Concrete pipes
- Parking structures
- Precast, cast-in-place and shotcrete applications
- Swimming pools
- Retaining walls & sea defense walls
What are the benefits of MasterLife WP 3122?
- Unique formulation allows the product to be categorized as both PRAN and PRAH within ACI 212.3R-10 "Report on Chemical Admixtures for concrete" (Permeability-reducing admixtures)
- Liquid product facilitates accurate measurement and recording of addition through existing concrete batch plant dispensing system
- Reduces concrete permeability and "selfheals"
- Allows concrete to breathe
- Non toxic
- Becomes an integral part of the concrete
- Reduces penetration of water and other liquids
- Can seal hairline cracks up to 0.5 mm
- Resists positive and negative hydrostatic pressure
- Protects against sewage and industrial wastes
- Added to the concrete at time of batching and
therefore, is not subject to climatic restraints
