The probability of leaks in concrete that is constantly in contact with water (whether it is a private well in a small village or a massive concrete structure in a megalopolis) is very high. Undoubtedly, a leak is always an unexpected phenomenon. Therefore, it is recommended to always have a special repair compound at hand, which will help eliminate the problem in a matter of seconds. Such a composition is called a hydro seal.
What is a hydro seal
Hydro seal is a special cement-based quick-setting repair mixture, which includes active chemical additives, thanks to which active water leaks in concrete are stopped instantly. Depending on the components in the hydro seal, the setting time varies from a few seconds to several minutes.
The main advantage of the hydraulic seal is high adhesion to wet concrete. After all, any other damage without active leaks can be repaired with the help of other repair compounds, for example Teknorep 300 or Teknorep 300 EX, the curing time of which is 24 hours.
And with active leaks, every minute counts, which is why it is recommended to use a hydro seal.
Also, the material is most often non- toxic (double- check this information in the technical manufacturer's map), which is an important characteristic, because a leak can form both in the bowl of the pool where children swim, and in the tank with drinking water.
How to choose a hydro seal
When choosing a hydraulic seal, pay attention to the setting time of the material, adhesion to concrete and the permissibility of contacting the material with drinking water.
Tekno offers 2 types of hydraulic seals: a standard one called Teknoplug and an instantaneous Teknoplug Yildirim hydraulic seal, the second one seizes after 2 seconds.
The manufacturer Tekno has been producing construction chemicals for more than 20 years and is distinguished by high quality products.
What are the advantages of hydraulic seals from the Turkish manufacturer Tekno
Teknoplug hydro seal has the following advantages:
- Non-toxic: may come into contact with drinking water;
- Quickly eliminates leaks: seizes in 1 minute upon contact with water (when using Teknoplug Yildirim in a few seconds);
- It complies with European quality standards, while its cost does not exceed the cost of Ukrainian analogues.
In addition, you will receive detailed advice with recommendations and video reviews on working with a hydraulic seal from our managers, who mixed the material and sealed the leaks with their own hands, so they know all the nuances from their own experience.
The Teknoplug hydro seal is supplied in buckets of 3 kg and can be stored for up to 6 months in tightly closed original packaging.
The operating instructions can be found in the technical the map of the Teknoplug or Teknoplug Yildirim material, by video or in the article "Step-by-step instructions for using a hydraulic seal".
