Descriptio

Mass water repellents limit the penetration of water into the pores and capillaries of concrete, without altering its plastic and aesthetic qualities.

Field of application

• Construction of water reservoirs of dams,

• Swimming pools, treatment plants,

• Construction of tunnels and canals,

• Construction of wastewater treatment plants,

• Construction of open canals.

Characteristics

• Resistance against harsh chemicals on concrete increases.

• It increases the frost resistance – thawing of concrete,

• It does not include chloride ions

• The water impermeability effect on concrete is permanent and structural,

• Resistance to water pressure from positive and negative directions.

• It allows concrete surfaces to be smooth and without gaps.

Utilisatio

• PROOFPEG 2004 is ready for use as a liquid. İl is recommended to add it to the mixing water in the ready-mixed concrete production plant.

Standards

• PROOFPEG 2004: EN 934-2 Table 9 ASTM C 494 Pointe C.

Consumption

It is recommended that the total binder existing in each type of concrete class mixture design described in EN 206 and EN 13515 be used between the rates of 0.5% and 1.5% by weight. This rate changes in the design of the concrete mixture depending on the amount of air required, the cement characteristics used, aggregates, mineral additives, water components, heat and also according to the preferred characteristics of fresh and hardened concrete. Therefore, laboratory tests should be carried out according to the preferred characteristics and the rate of use should be determined. Since the amount of air to be drawn into the concrete will increase the dosage of additives to be used, it is expected that the strength of the concrete will decrease.

Storage conditions and

The product should be stored above 5 °C. In the event that the product freezes, it must be thoroughly mixed mechanically after thawing for restitution. It is on sale as a 25 kg plastic drum, 200 kg drums, 1000 kg plastic cubicles, and bulk.

Compatibility

PROOFPEG 2004 is compatible with construction chemicals Plastpeg, Airpeg, Antipeg, Superpeg, Retardpeg, Proofpeg, Specialpeg from PEGASUS. For compatibility information with other additives, please consult the PEGASUS Technical Support Unit. If more than one additive substance is used in the design of the mixture, each substance must be added to the mixture separately. It can be used with all types of cement compatible with proofpeg 2004, EN 197-1 and all mineral additives. For use on special types of cement, it is recommended to consult the PEGASUS Technical Support Unit.

Precaution for use

The additive should be away from the skin and eyes. In case of contact, it should be washed with water. Safety glasses / gloves / protective masks should be used during the use of the mixture. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be read for detailed information.
