SCOPE OF USE 1
Polyinject PU is a two-component, solvent free and
flexible injection resin on polyurethane base. Due to its
low viscosity it is best suited for sealing cracks between packers may be fixed into holes drilled directly into the
0.1 and 10mm and minor cavities to form a flexible and crack or drilled diagonally from concrete adjacent to the
impermeable barrier in dry and damp conditions. As crack or by fixing of injection nipples.
Polyinject PU hardens through reaction of the A and B For further assistance and instructions regarding the packer
