KALMATRON®  KF-D

DESCRIPTION OF KF-D

Light gray powder with specific smell. After application, the smell disappears.

This inorganic compound works as an admixture to the cement containing Earth-Materials-Sealants (EMS).

BENEFITS

• Initial solubility of KF-D with water is 100%.
  

• Final hardened product is insoluble even in acid or salt water.
  

• Completely reduces bubbling of the standard mixture.
  

• Hardening time is adjustable.
  

• KF-D does not affect the environment.
  

• The application of KF-D using injection or sorption treatment creates a chemically altered structure with increased density and reduced hydraulic conductivity.  
  

USES OF KF-D

• Improves density and impermeability of soil or severely deteriorated structures. KF-D added to standard EMS mixes can be used for injections under or into sinkholes, foundations, tunnels, dams, wet and polluted soils, etc.
  

• Strengthens the standard EMS formula and increases waterproofing.
  

• Improves binding with standard concrete fillers and particles of soil.
  

• Applicable as a dust controlling premix.
  

APPLICATION 

Add 5.5 Lbs of KF-D per 200 Lbs of cement or 2.5 Kg of KF-D per 100 Kg of cement to EMS and mix for 10 min.

Add pure water to produce a water to cement ratio of 0.38.

Mix for 5 minutes and unload into the hopper of pump station.

Apply mix through injectors into the targeted damaged areas.

The KF-D and EMS premix can be poured onto soils with or without subsequently mixing with the soil for stabilization and waterproofing of soaked areas.
