Concresive®1315
Note
If cracks are very fine, drilling should be avoided as
the dust produced may block the fissures and
interfere with the injection process.
Attach nipples with flange attachments over these
centres and bond with Concresive®2200.
If concrete members are cracked on both sides
those nipples set in the rear should be sited midway
relative to those at the front (in instances where the
thickness of the member and width of the crack will
possibly inhibit the penetration of grout, Method 2
should be considered). Once all nipples have been
bonded the cracks are then sealed at the surface
with Concresive®2200 (which should be allowed to
cure overnight). It is obviously imperative that
cracks be sealed on both sides.
Injection
Thoroughly blend and mix the 2 components (Part A
& B) ensuring a uniform colour is achieved. Pour the
mixed material into the Injection Gun and insert into
the lowest point. Inject material until it seeps out of
the nipple above. Blank the first nipple and continue
the injection process in the nipple above.
Repeat the process until the whole length of the
crack has been injected. Ensure that injection is
effected at a steady rate. Allow to cure overnight
and remove nipples. Repair any blemishes with
Concresive®2200.

Horizontal application
For simple applications such as horizontal slabs,
wider cracks can be filled simply by pouring in
Concresive®. It may be necessary to make a small
surface reservoir with mastic or a similar product by
applying around the crack perimeter. This will avoid
spillage and wastage of Concresive®.
Method 2
Using a percussion drill with a 10mm bit, drill access
holes on either sides of the crack at 45° angles to
the centre of the plane of the crack. The drill is to
pass through the centre of the crack plane at a depth
of half the slab thickness (A-B) = ½CD. Holes are
drilled at regular intervals on both sides of the crack.
(See Figure 3).
Using an angle grinder, cut a groove 3-5mm deep
over the crack. Clean the groove and fill with
Concresive®2200. Build the Concresive®2200 2-
3mm thick over the crack, extending 15-20mm either
side of the crack.

Corresponding holes on opposite sides of crack shall
be midway relative to each other and the distance
from crack to access hole should be half the
thickness of the concrete member. (Refer to Figure
3).

(B-C) to be approximately half the thickness of
the section.
2. Distance between access hole (A-A) & (C-C) to
be approximately the thickness of the section.
The back side of the member is sealed where
possible using Concresive®2200 and allowed to cure.
The proprietary injection needle is inserted and the
fastening nut is tightened. The supply line from the
injection pump is connected to the fastened needle
and pumping commences (from the bottom upwards
in vertical members). Depending on the depth and
width of the crack a pressure ranging from 50-150
bar is suitable.
The 1315 is forced out at the interfaces of the crack
ensuring total contact between interfaces.
Additionally all voids, subsidiary cracks and other
vacant spaces are filled and sealed.
Pumping of the resin continues until resin exudes
from the crack on either side of the access hole.
The injection needle is removed and the access hole
temporarily plugged. The process is then repeated
in an adjacent access hole.
After initial cure of the Concresive® resin the
temporary corks are removed and the access holes
are permanently plugged to their full depth using
Concresive®2200 or similar.
Watchpoint
It is strongly recommended that the services of an
injection specialist are used for Method 2.
§ Before sealing or injecting any materials, it is
important to ascertain why and how the cracks
originated, this will significantly affect the
selection process of repair materials
§ All cracks should be thoroughly cleaned to
ensure a strong bond develops between
interfaces.
§ Equipment should be cleaned immediately
following use with cleaning solvent.

Specification clause
All cracks and voids, where indicated shall be
injected with Concresive®1315 (specify) as
manufactured by BASF Construction Chemicals, or
similar approved. The appropriate material shall be
mixed and placed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations. A BASF
Construction Chemicals SA technical representative
or approved applicator should be consulted to assist
with on-site recommendations etc.
Storage
Store under cover, out of direct sunlight and protect
from extremes of temperatures.
Failure to comply with the recommended storage
conditions may result in premature deterioration of
the product or packaging. For specific storage
advice consult BASF Construction Chemicals SA’s
Technical Services Department.
Safety precautions
As with all chemical products, care should be taken
during use and storage to avoid contact with eyes
mouth, skin and foodstuffs (which can also be
tainted with vapour until product fully cured or dried).
Treat splashes to eyes and skin immediately. If
accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical
attention. Keep away from children and animals.
Reseal containers after use.
