Hydrophilic Sealing / Grouting Compound
OSVX3
DESCRIPTION
OSVX3 Hydrophilic Sealing and Grouting Compound is a
one-component, "Acetone Free", MDI based hydrophilic sealing and grouting
compound used to stop water leaks in wet environments. Hydrophilic Sealing and Grouting Compound, as it
mixes with existing water, cures rapidly into a tough, flexible, closed-cell
compound which is insoluble to water and most other chemicals.
ADVANTAGES
- Simple to use, one component material. (See note above).
- Cures to a flexible, permanent seal with excellent bond to most construction materials.
- Is not a flammable or combustible liquid.
- Is applied in a moist and wet environment.
- Can be machine-pumped or hand-applied by caulking cartridge.

HOW TO USE
OSVX3 Hydrophilic Sealing and Grouting Compound is used in many ways to stop water leaks.
- To pressure inject in cracks or hairline cracks, the same way as low viscosity epoxy resins are used.
Cracks should be wet, not dry. If cracks are dry, moisten with water.
- In expansion joints that are sealed with polysulphide, polyurethane, silicone, or any other sealant, the
Hydrophilic Sealing and Grouting Compound
is injected behind the sealant to produce a waterproof elastic joint.
- In concrete or steel liners, such as in
tunnels or foundations, holes are drilled, one way valves or packers installed,
and Hydrophilic Sealing and Grouting Compound
is pumped in. Once in contact with water, a chemical
reaction takes place, and it sets within 3 to 5 minutes.
- In sewer line joints or any large size joints, to produce the most economical cost per linear foot, saturate any
absorbent material such as rope, jute, or oakum, with Hydrophilic
Sealing and Grouting Compound
. Remove
excess Hydrophilic Sealing and Grouting Compound
and force into joint. Spray with water to activate.
Repeat procedure until joint is filled.
PACKAGING
Hydrophilic Sealing and Grouting Compound
is available in 1 gallon, 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums.
