Solutions Crack Injection with Polyurethane
The Problem:
Concrete starts decaying immediately after
it cures. Even brand new construction can
require leak seal follow up work. Older
concrete structures are even more susceptible.
Leaks through concrete are generally going
to be through cracks, joints, and honeycomb
(areas in poured concrete of mainly course
aggregate with voids in between). Depending
on water volume and pressure, and the size of
the joint or crack, you are going to encounter
weeping leaks, steady leaks, and gushing
leaks.

Single component, low viscosity, closed cell, flexible hydrophilic polyurethane
injection resin.
Spetec PUR GT350
MDI based, hydrophilic, single component, flexible polyurethane injection resin.
Spetec PUR GT380
Single component, low viscosity, flexible hydrophilic polyurethane gel injection resin.
Spetec PUR F400
Single component, closed cell, hydrophobic, water reactive low viscosity injection
resin.
Spetec PUR H100
Single component, closed cell, hydrophobic, water reactive low viscosity injection
resin.
Spetec PUR H200
Single component, water activated, hydrophobic, low viscosity, closed cell
polyurethane injection resin.
Spetec PUR HighFoamer
Single component, closed cell, hydrophobic, water reactive low viscosity injection
resin.

Solutions The Facts:
What Causes Leaks in Concrete?
• Imperfect Construction
Concrete construction is by no means a perfect science. New construction often
requires leak seal treatment follow up work. If the initial construction isn’t properly
sealed at the time of construction, leaks are bound to appear sooner rather than
later.
• Weather and Wear
Concrete naturally decays over time. Exposure to extreme hot temperatures and
extreme cold temperatures can take their toll over time. Even structures located in
mild climates will begin to decay purely due to the aging process.
• Unstable Soil
Unstable soil can undermine the integrity of concrete structures and cause cracks
to appear. Loose soil has four main causes: soil erosion, poor compaction, freeze/
thaw cycles, and biological decay. If soil is the main culprit, additional stabilization
and slab lifting treatments may be required in order to prevent further cracks from
appearing.
How Does Injection Grout Help?
• Water Activation
Leaking concrete structures can be permanently repaired with concrete crack
injection by using a water activated flexible foam.
• Pressure Injection
Pressure injection of these liquid polyurethane resins forces the material into
leaking cracks, joints, and other defects.
• Flexible, Watertight Seal
After the polyurethane crack injection is complete, the polyurethane resin rapidly
reacts with water to form a flexible, watertight seal.
Why Are These Products Safe for the Environment?
Spetec PUR F400, Spetec PUR H100, Spetec PUR H200, Spetec PUR HighFoamer, and
Spetec PUR GT500 have been approved for contact with drinking water (certified by
to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61). That means these products can be used anywhere without
having an adverse effect on water quality. Having our core products rigorously tested
for environmental compatibility is a key component of our committment to assuring
“painless procedures” for customers.
What Are the Results?
From hairline concrete cracks to gushing foundation leaks, virtually any defect can be
sealed with Alchatek polyurethane resins, optimized for sealing leaks.
