Description
Dr. Fixit POLYPLUS CP is composed of high quality cement, properly selected & graded inert aggregates,
proprietary waterproofing active chemicals & additives. It is used as a chemically active waterproofing treatment
for concrete. Dr. Fixit POLYPLUS CP when mixed with water and applied as a brush coat to concrete, it penetrates
deeply into the capillaries of the concrete & protects it against the permeability of water.
of crystals by reaction at greater depth. It may take from seven days to one month to reach its maximum
waterproofing capability, depending on the thickness of the concrete.
}}Environmental factors such as ambient temperature, density of concrete, moisture presence & weather
conditions can affect the timing of sealing process. Under dry conditions, Dr. Fixit POLYPLUS CP lies dormant.
However it becomes reactive whenever it is re-exposed to moisture.
}}It penetrates even against strong hydrostatic pressure, becoming an integral part of the concrete. The
waterproofing chemicals remain active for the life of the structure, permanently sealing it for water seepage.
Typical Application
Water Retaining Structures
}}Water tanks & reservoirs
}}Swimming pools
}}Concrete pipes
}}Harbours
}}Construction joints

Features
}}Chemical Resistance – Resist chemical attack (pH 3-11 constant contact, pH 2-12 intermittent contact) and
provides a range of protection from freeze/ thaw cycles, aggressive subsoil waters, sea water, carbonates,
chlorides, sulfates and nitrates.
}}Application advantage – Does not require protective plaster, applicable over SSD & wet surface.
}}Waterproofing - Stops water movement through concrete, becomes integral part of the structure.

}}Sealing - Waterproofs minor cracking & seals shrinkage cracks up to 0.4 mm width.
}}Permeability – Resists permeation of water from positive & negative side of the concrete.
}}Chemical activation - It’s waterproofing capability increases with time. i.e. It remains permanently active.
}}Abrasion - Does not get affected by surface wear or abrasion, once the penetration is complete.
}}Hydrostatic pressure - Treated concrete withstands hydrostatic water pressure up to 15 metre head.
}}Monolithic – Forms monolithic layer with the concrete & becomes integral part of concrete.

}}Remove dirt, laitance, loose particles, paints, etc., by means of mechanical grinding, sand blasting, pressure
water cleaning or suitable mechanical means.
}}Remove all protrusions, chisel out honeycombed & damaged areas, repair the cracks and work back to sound
concrete.
}}It is extremely important to ensure that the surface should be sound, thoroughly prepared and vacuum cleaned
to a finish of a sand paper to allow Dr. Fixit POLYPLUS CP to penetrate effectively. This can be achieved by
mechanical surface scarification, shot blasting, etc.
}}Thoroughly rinse the surface with water several times to reach a “saturated surface dry” (SSD) condition, where
minutes. Mix Dr. Fixit POLYPLUS CP mechanically with clean water to a thick consistency. Separate containers of
same volume should be used to measure powder & water.

On existing or old substrates with dampness
}}Ensure thorough surface preparation by mechanical means, to remove all laitance, etc., to expose the pores in
concrete which will allow the penetration of the Dr. Fixit POLYPLUS CP.
}}All crevices and holes in concrete shall be filled with Dr. Fixit POLYPLUS CP powder mixed with water in a ratio of
5 parts powder : 1 part water. Over a concrete substrate in a SSD condition, apply Dr. Fixit POLYPLUS CP mixed
in a ratio 5 parts powder : 2 parts clean water, with a clean brush. Use an aggressive circular motion of the brush
or wooden float with Dr. Fixit POLYPLUS CP slurry. Apply a second coat after 3 to 6 hours.
}}Dr. Fixit POLYPLUS CP treated surface shall be left to cure for 2-3 days, as mentioned above and protect from
direct sunlight for this initial period. For full cure, give 28 days along with concrete.

thorough wire brushing, washing & removing any Dr. Fixit POLYPLUS CP residual on surface.
}}Not recommended over moving joints and structures subjected to movements.
}}Water tanks, etc., can be carefully filled with water after 3 to 7 days. Do not fill large tanks faster than 6.5 feet
