Injection resins are specialised materials used to repair and strengthen cracks, voids, and other gaps or damaged areas in concrete and masonry, and to stem or eliminate leaks through joints or structural defects of earth-retaining structures.
Sealing active leaks is often a two-stage process, first utilising high-foaming resins to stem and control the flow. A permanent seal is then achieved by injecting low-viscosity resins at high pressure that pass through and around the foam to complete the process.
Hybrid injection resins are also available, which foam when in contact with water but can be injected deep into the joint to complete the repair without foaming.
The three main types of resins each possess different qualities that can be utilised depending on the project requirements:
Injection resins are suitable for sealing leaks, repairing structural defects and sealing construction joints in basements, underground parking, tunnel projects, wall/floor transitions, concrete slabs, bridges, construction sites and lift pits, amongst other forms of construction.
Mechanical, chemical and climatic loads can create stresses in concrete, as the tensile load that concrete can withstand is only between 2-10% of its compressive strength. There are many ways in which cracks in concrete can be caused, such as incorrect design calculations, unforeseen loads, incorrect steel placement, shrinkage and excess heat generation.
Newton’s range of injection resins offer a remedial repair solution, as they can be utilised to close cracks and voids to prevent any substance penetration, to seal against leaks, to flexibly seal across crack flanks and to reinstate structural integrity between the sides of cracks and voids.
At Newton, we offer a range of injection resin products, and we are proud to be the exclusive UK distributor for Belgium-based injection resin specialists TRADECC since 2019.
Our range includes everything needed to prepare, pump and clean up after installation:
We can also provide UK customers with access to the entire TRADECC range of high-quality, specialist injection resins for water sealing, soil consolidation, structural repair and concrete repair.
TRADECC’s high-quality acrylic injection resins can permanently water seal cracks and joints due to good elastic properties and adjustable reaction times. These resins are very suitable for compartment membrane injections and curtain injection in the tunnelling industry.
TRADECC’s specialist Polyurethane (PU) injection resins can seal water leaks with high hydrostatic pressure or flow. These resins can also be used against high or low water-bearing joints and cracks in concrete structures and below-ground construction.
