Wykamol Tanking Slurry is a cementitious waterproofing system which creates a monolithic bond using crystalline chemicals when applied to concrete masonry and structures.
When mixed with clean water and applied correctly, Wykamol Tanking Slurry
forms a permanent waterproof coating to the concrete and masonry and is
easily applied by brush, roller or spray.
Wykamol Tanking Slurry waterproofs against positive and negative hydrostatic heads of
water and is suitable for use, internally, externally, above and below ground. Wykamol
Tanking slurry is ideal for use as part of a damp-proofing course (DPC) and is an
excellent radon barrier, passing all the relevant tests for resistance to this gas.
ADVANTAGES
• Permanent waterproofing for concrete and masonry.
• Resists positive and negative water pressure.
• Superior bond strength.
• Resists salt contamination in masonry.
• Suitable for use above and below ground level, for internal and external use.
• Safe to use in contact with potable water.
• Easy to use, brush, roller or spray applied.
• Ideal radon barrier (certified when applied correctly)
Note: When applying Wykamol Tanking Slurry to a structure housing aquatic life,
overcoating with Wykamol Technoseal DPM in line with the relevant data sheet is
necessary, which is available upon request or can be downloaded from our website.
TYPICAL USES
A permanent damp-proof course, particularly on rubble filled walls where a chemical
damp-proofing cream, such as Ultracure, cannot be used.
Waterproofing of: Basements, cellars, swimming pools, brickwork, block work structures,
concrete and renders.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
All active water leaks must be stopped using Waterstop (rapid
setting plugging compound) before continuing to the next stage
of application.
MIXING
Wykamol Tanking Slurry’s consistency can be varied to suit the
application method.

When mixing Wykamol Tanking Slurry, use ONLY CLEAN
WATER, a clean mixing vessel and a mechanical mixer.
- Pour minimum required addition of clean water in to the mixing vessel.
-
Using an electric paddle, gradually start to add the powder whilst mixing under low shear to reduce dust generation.
- Add all powder and increase mixing shear.
- Mix for approx. 1 - 3 mins to achieve a uniform, lump free slurry.
-
If necessary, gradually add water and mix until desired
consistency is achieved.
Do not exceed maximum required water additions as this will result in the product becoming ineffective as a waterproof barrier.
Note: Excessive mechanical mixing should be avoided. Mechanical mixing time must not exceed 5 minutes.
