Specification of BASF MasterSeal 590 22.6 kg
DESCRIPTION
MasterSeal 590 is a single component hydrauliccement-based, fast-setting, repair mortar that instantly stops running water or active moisture seepage through holes or cracks in concrete or masonry. Easy to use; requires no special equipment. It is a powder that will typically set in 3 - 5 minutes when mixed with clean, potable water. Actual setting time depends on the temperatures of the powder, mixing water, ambient air and substrate. MasterSeal 590 expands as it sets to lock into place even under constant water pressure. MasterSeal 590 repairs have exceptional strength and durability and will seal out water for the life of the structure. MasterSeal 590, containing no metallic aggregate or corrosive agents, will not shrink or oxidise, and is suitable for water immersion service
when cured.
It is certified by National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) to conform to the requirements of NSF Standard 61 for Drinking Water System Components.
RECOMMENDED USES
MasterSeal 590 is designed to be used:
• To stop active water or seepage under pressure through joint, static cracks and holes in concrete or
masonry, where a normal mortar would be washed away and resin would not bond.
• As a seal for construction joints or floor joints prior to basement tanking with MasterSeal 581.
• For scaling cracks and construction joints in reservoirs and other water retaining structures.
• For instant sewer connections.
• For rapid anchoring of bolts, conduits, pipes, railings, sanitary equipment, etc.
• For joint filling and pointing between concrete segments in concrete and brick tunnels, sewage systems, pipes and mines.
