Sikafix HH Hydrophilic: 5 Gallon Hydrophilic Polyurethane
Sikafix HH Hydrophilic is a nonflammable hydrophilic polyurethane resin designed to form a flexible gasket or plug joints and cracks in concrete from water infiltration. In its uncured form, Sikafix HH Hydrophilic is a pale yellow liquid. When it comes in contact with water, the grout expands quickly and cures to a tough, flexible, adhesive, closed cell foam that is essentially unaffected by mildly corrosive environments. Questions?

Begin by drilling 5/8” diameter holes along the side of the crack at a 45 degree angle. Drill the hole to intersect the crack midway through the substrate. Install injection packers in the holes and tighten. Spacing of the injection
ports depends on crack width, but normal varies from 6” to 36”. It is always necessary to flush the drilled holes with water to remove debris and drill dust from the holes and crack. This will also ensure that the crack is wet enough to react with the grout when it is introduced to the crack. Begin the injection of the grout as the lowest packer installed on a vertical crack, or at the first packer flushed for a horizontal crack. During the injection, you will notice
that the Sikafix HH Hydrophilic displaces water from the crack. Continue injecting until the grout appears at the adjacent packer hole. Stop pumping and reinstall the packer in the adjacent hole. Tighten the packer and move the pump hose to the second packer and begin injection. Continue the process until 3–4 packers have been grouted. Disconnect and go back to the first packer and inject all the ports for the second time if necessary. Some ports may take additional grout, which will fill up and further densify the material in the crack. Continue process until the length of the prepared crack is injected. Note: Injection pressure will vary from 200 psi to 2500 psi depending on the width of the crack, thickness of concrete and condition of concrete.
