Watertop Glims: technical specifications, consumption and application

An important stage of construction work is waterproofing. It ensures the longevity of the object in difficult climatic conditions, serves as a preventive measure against the destructive effects of precipitation and groundwater. The selection of waterproofing materials occurs in the early stages of construction. If it is made incorrectly, tightness may be compromised. In order to eliminate leaks, special tools from leading manufacturers are intended. One of the most popular is the sealing slurry of the water stop Glims.

Joint-stock company JSC "Glims Production" produces premium-quality dry mixes for repair work.It is a leading company in the Russian market. The twenty-year experience of production was not in vain: a lot of developments were created on the basis of its own scientific and technical department. The company employs highly qualified specialists.

As a result of successful development, the Glims line appeared on the market:

• modern tile adhesive;
• repair compositions;
• plaster mixes;
• flooring compositions;

Everything you need for a full repair and construction work.

The quality control system contributes to the high characteristics of the products. It is in demand among professionals in the field of construction and repair.

A wide range of products and strict quality control contributes to the development of the company.

The main advantages of dry mixes are:

• easy application, easy to use;
• economical use;
• high characteristics of resistance to external influences.

At the moment, some product lines are not complete.The company is working to eliminate this shortcoming.

Waterstop Glims is a cement-based mixture that was designed to seal outdoor pools, therefore Technologists have developed a composition with the following characteristics:

• resistant to negative pressure up to 2 atmospheres;
• differs in durability, reliability, durability;
• resistance to difficult temperature conditions of operation is noted (from -50 to + 70 ° С);
• adjacent to aggressive substances (acids, alkalis, salts, products of the petroleum industry);
• maintains constant contact with water;

• possesses excellent adhesion to plaster, asbestos cement, brick, concrete;
• completely safe during installation and operation, can be used in contact with drinking water;
• resistant to the effects of detergents, including antibacterial, which is an important operational property;
• it can be applied on the wet, but not wet bases;
• Easy to prepare, can be used for 4 hours.

The set of these properties allows using the material not only for sealing the pool, but also for repairing underground and surface reservoirs, as well as objects experiencing hydrostatic pressure. Resistance to chemicals is of great importance when it comes to sealing septic tanks, cesspools, tanks with active chemicals. According to consumers, the disadvantages of this product include a rather high price.

The scope of application of the sealing sludge is very wide: from internal to external works. Sealant perfectly isolates swimming pools, a wide range of tanks (for storing liquid substances - from water to oil products), foundations, walls and floors in bathrooms, basements. High adhesion to many materials allows the use of sludge for interior and exterior use.

Application on the following grounds is acceptable:

• plaster;
• a natural stone;
• waterproof plasterboard;
• brick.

Water Glims is a dry, uniform mixture of light gray. When compressed, the modulus of elasticity is low, and the strength of 28 days is 80 kgc / cm².The rate of absorption of the drop exceeds 2 hours. Adhesion to normal concrete is about 0.9 H / m². The mixture dries completely overnight at an air temperature not lower than + 5 ° C.

Resistance to hydrostatic pressure is:

• with back pressure - 2 atmospheres;
• with direct pressure - 7 atmospheres.

Watertop Glims is available in factory packaging of 18 and 20 kg in paper bags and 4 kg in plastic buckets. The average consumption per 1 m2 of the surface is 4, 5 kg of dry mix with a thickness of 0.3 cm.

The map for applying a coating material; water Glims provides several rules.

• Dry powder should be poured into clean water at room temperature. The ratio of water and mixture should be 0.34 liters of water per 1 kg of the mixture. For convenience of calculations, we can bear in mind that the contents of a 20-kilogram package dissolve in 6.8 liters of water.
• The solution is stirred until homogeneous by a construction mixer or a drill with a special nozzle. Then, after 10 minutes, stirred again.

• It is usable for 4 hours, so even an inexperienced master will have time to use it.So that the mixture does not thicken, it is necessary to stir it periodically, but in no case should it be diluted with water.
• The basis for drawing has to be prepared in advance. It should be durable, without any traces of paint, dust, greasy substances or other contaminants. The cleaned, degreased, dry surface is treated with a GLIMS-DeepPrime primer with a brush with a stiff bristle.
• If the base is wet, it is necessary to rub the dry mix “Gidroplub” into it. It is recommended to use the Glims line for best results.

Waterproofing materials are indispensable for construction work. Experienced craftsmen and amateurs mark the high quality of Glims products. According to the observations, after drying, the waterproofing becomes frost-resistant and weather-resistant, it serves properly and for a long time. Glims products are among the most modern and high-quality waterproofing materials.

Observing all points of the instruction when using watertop Glims, you can get an excellent result.
