Dayton Waterstop Hydraulic Cement Compound, 50lb Pail

Dayton Waterstop Hydraulic Cement Compound, 50 lb Pail

Waterstop™ is a non-corrosive, non-rusting, fast setting hydraulic cement compound for plugging and stopping active water leaks in concrete structures or masonry surfaces. Mix with water to a thick consistency and hand form into a plug and it will stop active leaks even under water through a chemical reaction that bonds to surfaces and sets quickly, providing resistance to chemicals and ensuring long-term durability.

When it comes to active water leaks the Dayton Waterstop Hydraulic Cement Compound is your answer. Designed to stop leaks in concrete structures or masonry surfaces this compound is non-corrosive and non-rusting so it’s durable and long lasting. If you need to prevent bonding of concrete to forms, consider using a form release agent like the Dayton Clean Strip J2. Its resistance to chemicals also makes it suitable for use in environments exposed to harsh substances. It’s also for dry application so it’s good for many applications.

Product Description

Hydraulic cement is a type of cement that sets and hardens when exposed to water. It’s great for cracks and leaks in concrete and masonry structures. Fast setting, pourable, anchoring and patching cement. Good for fixing cracks in swimming pools, repairing clay flue liners and sealing cracks in retaining walls. Hydraulic cement is also commonly used for cracks in chimneys, cisterns, fountains, and pools, helping to prevent water intrusion and structural damage. It is important to determine the cause of each crack before selecting the appropriate repair method to ensure long-lasting results. Wet or dry application so good for many repair jobs. Concrete or masonry structures, hydraulic cement is the answer to keeping your construction intact.

Key Features: fixing cracks

• Non-Corrosive and Non-Rusting: Long lasting seal without damaging surrounding materials.

• Fast Setting: Plugs active water leaks in minutes, minimal downtime and disruption.

• Underwater Application: Can be used underwater, good for many tough situations.

• Drainage Systems: For managing water flow and protecting structures by directing rainwater away from foundations. Proper installation and maintenance will prevent costly repairs from leaks and damage from environmental factors like tree roots.

• Common Cause: A common cause of cracks in structures like pools, elevator pits, and cisterns is pressure, ground movement, or temperature changes.

• Collapse Risk: Horizontal cracks in chimneys or masonry can weaken the structure and may lead to collapse if not properly repaired.

• Expanding Action: Hydraulic cement can expand as it sets, helping to fill and prevent further water intrusion.

• Floor Repairs: cracks in the floor of elevator pits is important to prevent water ingress and structural issues.

• Progression of Damage: Cracks can lead to leaks, contamination, or further structural damage if not addressed promptly.

• Patch and Inspection: Cracks can be patched quickly with hydraulic cement, and previously patched areas should be inspected for integrity.

• Hydraulic Pressure from Water: Hydraulic pressure from water inside presses against the walls of cisterns and fountains, which can cause cracks and leaks.

• Timely Repairs: Cracks should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

• Material Replacement: Replacing damaged materials in fountains, cisterns, or drainage systems is important to ensure long-term performance.

• Rock and Masonry Repair: Hydraulic cement can be used for cracks in rock or masonry structures.

• Seeping Water: Water seeping through cracks can cause further deterioration and should be stopped with hydraulic cement.

• Hydraulic vs. Regular Cement: While hydraulic cement is ideal for quick repairs in wet conditions, regular cement may be more durable for long-term structural applications.

Product Specifications

This hydraulic water stop cement is formulated to react quickly with water, setting in just 3-5 minutes to block running water and prevent intrusion. Its high compressive strength—ranging from 2,000 psi to 4,000 psi—ensures that repairs to concrete surfaces, retaining walls, and cracked masonry are not only fast but also durable and long-lasting. The unique mixture of hydraulic cement and proprietary admixtures provides excellent resistance to reaction, heat, and moisture, making it ideal for environments where temperature changes and exposure to the elements are common.

With its robust performance in dry conditions, Dayton Waterstop Hydraulic Cement Compound stands out as a reliable, durable, and efficient choice for a wide variety of applications and repair projects. Whether you’re working on new or maintaining existing structures, this delivers the strength and versatility needed to keep your concrete and masonry surfaces protected from water and environmental stress.

Safety Notes

When using hydraulic cement be sure to take necessary safety precautions to avoid injury. Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety glasses, mask or ventilator, closed toe shoes, long pants and long sleeve shirt. Don’t inhale dust and prevent cement dust from getting in your eyes. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for mixing and applying cement and work in a well ventilated area to minimize dust and fumes.

Use Cases: concrete and masonry structures

Whether you’re sealing foundation cracks that will compromise your building or stopping in concrete tanks to prevent damage, Dayton Waterstop is the solution. Its fast setting and versatility can be applied in many environments, from residential basements to large industrial applications. Filling cracks with hydraulic cement is easy but requires some preparation since it dries fast. Also maintaining the structure of an elevator pit is critical to prevent ingress that can damage electrical or hydraulic systems. Hydraulic cement also addresses caused by foundation settlement and thermal stress, offering long lasting repairs, or you can use an epoxy concrete crack repair kit for even stronger results.

Use Dayton Waterstop for your water leakage problems and get unmatched reliability and ease of use. With its many features and applications it’s the professional’s choice for quality and convenience.

Application Tips

• Surface Preparation: Clean surface of debris before applying hydraulic cement.

• Mixing: Follow manufacturer’s instructions for mixing and apply with trowel or brush.

• Fast Application: Work fast, sets in 3-5 minutes.

• Leveling: Use a level to ensure surface is level and plumb.

• Multiple Coats: Apply multiple coats if needed, let each coat set before applying the next.

• Outdoor Use: When used outdoors let cement dry 7 days before painting with exterior paint.

• Wet Conditions: Don’t apply hydraulic cement in wet conditions such as pools unless specifically designed for underwater use.

By following these tips and precautions you’ll have a successful and safe application of hydraulic cement and a long lasting repair.
