REF: FBWATPLUG5 | MPN: 486603 | Barcode: 5029347607814

This repair compound is specifically formulated to tackle active water leaks in both concrete and masonry surfaces. Designed for rapid application, it forms a watertight seal that expands as it cures, mirroring the properties of concrete itself. Suitable for use underwater or in high-pressure scenarios, this versatile material provides quick and effective solutions for construction joints, cracks, and leaks, delivering seamless repairs in challenging conditions.

Who This Product Is For

This product is designed for construction professionals, building maintenance teams, and experienced DIY users who need to address active water leaks in concrete or masonry structures. It suits those working on urgent repairs where water ingress must be stopped quickly, even in submerged or high-pressure conditions.

The compound is appropriate for jobs involving basements, reservoirs, tunnels, sewage systems, and other below-ground or water-retaining structures. It is particularly useful when a rapid-setting, expanding seal is required to match the properties of existing concrete.

Key Features

• Ultra-Rapid Setting Formula: Sets quickly to provide immediate results, even under high water pressure.
• Expanding Seal: Forms a permanent watertight bond by expanding during curing.
• Chloride-Free Composition: Safe for use with reinforced concrete without promoting corrosion.
• Durable and Compatible: Matches the strength and characteristics of concrete for seamless integration.
• Applicability Below Water Level: Designed to perform effectively in submerged conditions.
• Multipurpose Use: Suitable for plugging leaks, anchoring bolts, and sealing cracks in reservoirs, tunnels, and basements.
• Provides a fast and reliable solution to stop active water seepage.
• Reduces the risk of further damage by delivering a strong, watertight seal.
• Easy to mix and apply by hand, saving time on urgent repairs.
• Provides compatibility with existing concrete structures for a uniform finish.

Practical Applications

The Feb Febtank Plug is well suited to a range of repair needs across various environments. From construction sites to home improvement projects, its design delivers durability and ease of use.

• Stopping water ingress in basements and substructures.
• Reinforcing construction joints and sealing floor-to-wall junctions.
• Repairing cracks in masonry walls and filling holes in concrete.
• Anchoring bolts and posts securely in place.
• Sealing leaks in reservoirs, sewage systems, and pipes.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This repair compound is typically used during the repair phase after identifying and preparing the leak area. Following surface preparation, the mixed material is applied under pressure to form an expanding seal that stops water flow. Once set, the repair can be trimmed and finished to match the surrounding surface.

The process involves preparing the surface by cutting out defects to a minimum depth, cleaning with water, then mixing and applying the compound while it begins to warm. For running water situations, a waterstop admixture may be used. After application, the area is kept damp to aid curing before final trimming or sealing.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Surface: Cut out cracks or holes to a minimum depth of 20mm, avoiding feather edges. Flush with water to remove dust and debris, and make sure the surface is damp before application.
2. Mixing: Combine one part of water with four parts of the compound by volume. Mix quickly by hand until it reaches a stiff consistency. For running water applications, consider using a waterstop admixture.
3. Plugging Leaks: Hold the mixed compound in your hand until it begins to warm, then press firmly into the leak with consistent pressure. Once set, trim the patch level with the surrounding surface.
4. Sealing Cracks: Force the mortar into cracks, smoothing it out and forming a cove where necessary. For best results, keep the filled area damp for at least 15 minutes.
5. Anchoring Bolts: Fill drilled holes with the compound before inserting bolts or posts. Tamp the mortar around the anchor to secure it in place.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• Store in a cool, dry location to preserve the product’s effectiveness.
• Clean tools immediately after use to prevent residue build-up.
• Regularly inspect repaired areas to check long-term performance. After repairs, protect the surface with a masonry sealer.
