HEALTH & SAFETY Waterstop
is a very fine powder which will release strong alkali when wet. This may prove irritable to certain skin
types, and will cause irritation if inhaled or ingested. If in contact with eyes, flush with cold
water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Handling: Avoid contact with the eyes
and skin. Use of PVC gloves, goggles, respirator, protective
overalls and footwear is recommended. Storage: Store in cool dry conditions in
original containers away from sunlight. Protect from freezing. Keep
out of reach of children. Do not
use in temperatures below 4°C. 7.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 7.1 Preparation. If a
permanent or semi permanent repair is required the area around the leak
should be brushed with a wire brush to remove any flaking paint or organic
material. Any grease/oil should be
removed with detergent. Plastic surfaces
should be keyed. |
7.2 Mixing. The
powder should be thoroughly mixed with approximately one third by weight of
water to make a very stiff paste, with the consistency of putty. Mixing needs to be carried out very
quickly, in less than one minute. Some
practice may be required. 7.3 application. Mould
the paste, in gloved hands, to a ball.
Immediately apply to the leak and hold firmly in position without
further movement. The Waterstop will
set hard. Continue to hold in position
for a further minute. It is possible
at this stage to smooth the surfaces with wet gloves if desired. 7.4 finishing. A knife
or trowel may be used to cut away any excess material within a few minutes of
setting. Once set hard the Waterstop
may be painted or wrapped in fibreglass tape etc. No curing time is necessary. 7.5 Cleaning tools. Any
tools used should be washed immediately after use in water. 7.6 PRECAUTIONS. DO NOT move or otherwise disturb the paste once setting
has started. Doing so will result in
the product crumbling with no strength. |
