AKVATRON-6Sh Shovny — penetrating mix for sealing joints and cracks
One-component joint mix combining mastic elasticity with penetrating waterproofing properties for joints and cracks under cyclic deformation.

AKVATRON-6 is the main penetrating compound of the series, based on Portland cement, treated sand and a complex of activating additives. Applied to water-saturated concrete, it raises the watertightness grade by 6–8 steps under positive and negative water pressure and the frost resistance by at least 2 grades; the crystals penetrate to a depth of more than 150 mm and fill cracks up to 0.4 mm. The compound is used on foundations, basements, tanks, pumping stations, collector tunnels, dams, bridges and in the metro; service temperature from −60 to +250 °C.

|---|---|
| Type | penetrating waterproofing |
| Use | foundations and basements, tanks and pools, tunnels and metro, hydraulic structures and dams, bridge structures, interior spaces |
| Base | a mix of Portland cement, specially treated sand and a complex of activating chemical additives |
| Colour | grey |
| Application method | clean the surface of dirt, grease, paint, cement laitance and foreign coatings (with a wire brush or AKVATRON-FREZ cleaner), saturate the dust-free surface with water until it stops absorbing; prepare the mortar for 45 min of work; apply by brush, spatula or shotcrete method; keep moist for 3 days and protect from sun, wind and rain; the surface is primed with the compound (1 part dry mix to 1 part water) with a dwell time of 5–10 min; application by injection and use as an additive to cement mortars are possible; with AKVATRON-8 — for waterproofing cracks, junctions and active leaks |
| Curing | initial set not earlier than 2 h, final set not later than 5 h |
| Key properties | compressive strength at least 30 MPa; watertightness of the material at least W20; frost resistance F300; increase of the concrete watertightness grade by 6–8 steps (positive and negative water pressure), of the frost resistance grade by at least 2 grades; adhesion to concrete at least 1.1 MPa; leaching resistance — destruction of a 3 mm layer takes more than 100 years; corrosion resistance in an acidic environment (pH ≥ 3) increased 3 times; sulphate resistance of at least degree 1; fills cracks up to 0.4 mm; service temperature from −60 to +250 °C; crystal penetration to a depth of more than 150 mm; mixing water 0.22–0.26 l/kg; aggregate size no more than 0.63 mm |
| Consumption | 0.8–1.2 kg/m² depending on the application method |
| Shelf life | 24 months from the date of production |
