SealBoss SLP 2C Crack Injection Pump

Pneumatic Injection Pump

SealBoss SLP 2C Crack Injection Pump

Signature Line Pneumatic Two Component Polyurethane Crack Injection Pump

Our SLP series crack injection pumps are specifically designed for chemical grout injection without any compromises.

Crafted from high quality components, and with impeccable attention to detail, functionality and aesthetics, the SLP pumps provide industry leading performance, durability and practicality.

This sturdy and professional multi use injection pump earned the moniker ‘Suitcase Pump’ from its lightweight, convenient and protective frame which outlines are reminiscent of a suitcase or briefcase.

This compact pneumatic machine is much more than just a crack injection pump. It has been engineered to pump two component as well as single component polyurethane products for crack injection, soil compaction, void filling and smaller slab lifting applications.

This pump is set to a 1:1 mixing ratio by volume. Product is fed directly from the product containers via suction tubes. We deliver the pumps as a complete system, with all the necessary tubing, connectors and applicators.

The Advantages of Air Powered Crack Injection Pumps

Air-powered pumps are sought after for their long-term reliability and durability. Stop/start cycle limitations do not apply to these pumps and no adjustments need be made when dispensing rates decrease.

To reduce pump output rate, simply adjust the air downward at the regulator. With air-powered pumping systems, no electricity is fed into the machine, which provides immediate benefits in simplicity and safety.

SealBoss Curtain Injection

Curtain Injection

Bladder / Curtain Injection – Curtain Wall Grouting Method

Curtain Injection Injection Training with Leak Sealing Cube

The objective is to seal below grade block wall and concrete wall structures by the membrane forming, permeation and consolidation capabilities of hydrophilic and hydrophobic injection grout products.

Training is performed using our Leak Sealing Cube mock-up, followed by on the jobsite injection.

The SealBoss Leak Sealing Cube is designed to provide the contractor with an intricate insight into the injection process and chemical grout behavior. Plexiglas equipped cross-sections allow for watching the process from the ‘other side’ – normally hidden in real curtain grouting wall injections on the jobsite.

With the ability to follow the processes during injection on the positive soil-side behind the wall, the trainee gains a good understanding of the injection method and technology.

Procedure Outline

Identify the water source and pattern of moisture intrusion. Most block, stone, and brick leaks are caused by failed positive side membranes. Block walls are often unfilled which also creates voids and pockets for water intrusion. Drill Grid Pattern Drill 3/8 or 1/2 inch holes along the water marks at 2 feet intervals. Moving up the wall, continue to space the holes at 2 feet intervals creating a grid pattern of injection holes as seen in the image. These drill holes are to penetrate the substrate at full depth creating a channel in the wall through which chemicals can be injected.

Packer Install

Once the grid pattern is created, mechanical packers may be inserted into each one. In the case of block walls that are not filled adequately, longer packers are recommended providing a full length channel which ensures that material reached the back side of the wall. it is not recommended to simply fill the blocks with materials – block wall curtain injections require material travel through the entire wall. In the case of older and disturbed stone or brick structures, however, it is also common to inject the structure itself as seen to the right.

For high volume applications, Plastic Button Head Packers are available.

Injection Products and Pumps

Today we focus on SealBoss ® 1510 Curtain Injection Foam and SealBoss ® 15X Accelerator. The single component SB 1510 chemical injection grout is catalyzed with SB 15X Accelerator at variable percentages to either create ‘low foamer expansion’ or ‘high foamer expansion’ properties. Percentages added can vary from 2 percent to 25 percent.

Based on the jobsite and application, a variety of products, such as hydrophobic SealBoss 1510 / 1570 Foam, SealBoss FlexGel hydrophilic polyurethane gel, or SealBoss® 2400 SLV acrylic gel, are available.

Application Considerations

Because backfill and soil consolidation behind the structures are often unknown, applicators must monitor flow rates and material consumption closely.

In scenarios where substantial voids are anticipated behind structural walls, a strategic approach involving the use of expansive hydrophobic polyurethane grout, like SealBoss® 1510 Water Stop Foam, is advised. This material can be injected first to fill these large voids, creating a solid and stable mass that serves as an effective backdrop for subsequent hydrophilic gel injections.

The Stage Grouting Technique

The stage grouting technique is often recommended in such situations. This method involves injecting the product in measured stages with reduced volumes. Each stage is given adequate time to react and form a natural barrier, prior to injecting the next grout stage. This strategic layering and controlled application enhances the overall effectiveness of the grouting process, ensuring comprehensive coverage of product along the outside of the wall and optimal stability.

SealBoss Polyurea Joint Filling System

Showroom Floor Detailing: Insights into Joint Filler Application

In the realm of construction and interior detailing, achieving the desired finish is crucial. A recent project, the construction of an Off-Road Vehicle Dealership, offers insights into this process. This article explores the initial steps taken to prepare for a polished “Showroom Finish” for the dealership’s floor, with a focus on the SealBoss Polyurea Joint Filling System.

The Vision

As the construction of the new Off-Road Vehicle Dealership neared its completion, the owner had a clear vision in mind. They desired the joints in both the showroom and the maintenance shop to be filled with a joint fill that not only exuded quality but also promised durability and flexibility. The ultimate goal? A polished floor that mirrors the high standards of the vehicles on display.

The Product of Choice

Enter the SealBoss 6500 Polyurea QuickFix Joint Filler. Recognized for its superior quality, this product was chosen to be applied using the SealBoss JointMaster Pro2, a professional joint filling machine. This machine, known for its efficiency and precision, ensured that the joint filler was applied seamlessly.

The Process

The application process was streamlined and efficient, thanks to the SealBoss JointMaster Pro2. With this machine at their disposal, a three-man crew managed to fill approximately 1,400 lineal feet of joints, each with a depth of 1 ½ inches, in a mere two hours. The crew was strategically divided, with two members operating the pump and one dedicated to joint preparation and shaving.

The Art of Joint Preparation

Joint preparation is a meticulous task that demands attention to detail. It begins with chasing and vacuuming out the joints to ensure they are free from debris. Once cleaned, a unique technique is employed. Ivory soap is used to create a bond break between the floor surface and the SealBoss 6500 Polyurea Joint Filler. This not only facilitates an easy and clean shaving procedure but also eliminates any potential “shadowing” effect, which can sometimes be observed when installing joint fillers.

Conclusion

The construction of the Off-Road Vehicle Dealership showcases the importance of precision and quality in floor detailing. With the right products and techniques, achieving a “Showroom Finish” appearance is not just a possibility but a reality. The SealBoss Polyurea Joint Filling System stands as a testament to the advancements in the field of construction and interior detailing, promising a future where aesthetics and durability go hand in hand.

Sealing Pipe Penetration Water Leaks at Multi Family Apartment Complex

Water Leaks

Multi Family Apartment Complex

Multi Family Apartment Pipe Penetration Leak Stop

A certified SealBoss installer was asked to stop water intrusion and resulting water leaks from a courtyard at a new apartment complex into the underground parking structure below.

The water leakage had been causing unwanted staining and erosion of the concrete floor and was soaking into the fire stop material. It was determined that the persistent water intrusion was caused by rain and the installed irrigation system to water the plants in the courtyard.

The contractor used three different methods to inject SealBoss 1510 Water Stop Foam into and around the pipe penetrations to seal of the areas of where the leaks were significant.

The first method used was a horizontal blanket injection to fill the void between the geofoam and the poured concrete to create a seal around each pipe penetration. This was accomplished by strategically placing injection packers and drilling all the way through the concrete deck into the geofoam.

Next the area was drained and an injection packer was installed for injection of the hydrophobic foam.

After a couple of days the leaks had moved and began leaking around the pipe sleeves.

With the larger penetration sleeves being made of metal, the contractor drilled at a 45 degree angle until he hit the pipe sleeve. SealBoss 1510 leak sealing foam was then injected until positive refusal around the sleeve was seen.

To help assist with containing the reacting material, SealBoss CanSeal Foam was used to as an “instant” backing. The SB CanSeal Foam was also used to fill the voids between the concrete and the ribbed steel sheeting.

SealBoss ® CanSeal Utility Foam is a specially formulated closed cell sealing foam — engineered to fully expand inside the applicator ‘gun barrel’. When the foam exits the tip of the gun it is already fully expanded, enabling you apply exactly as much foam as you need without the messy and undesired “mushrooming” experience you may have with most of the other ‘over the counter’ foam products.

Small Pipe and Pipe Penetration Leak Sealing Kits

SealBoss SealPipe Kit

For the smaller pipe penetrations with a poly sleeve, a Grout Injection Needle was used to inject the foam into the tighter areas. Using open cell backer rod to stuff into the sleeve to contain the reacting resin as the needle was pulled out, SealBoss 1510 Water Stop Foam was able to expand upwards sealing the poly sleeve and stopping the leak.

The contractor was able to stop the leaks and the building owner was notified to reassess the irrigation system for the courtyard above.

How to Permanently Waterproof Tilt-Up Panel Joints with Polyurethane Grout

How to
Permanently Waterproof
Tilt-Up Panel Joints
with Polyurethane Grout

Failing and leaking tilt-up construction joints can be sealed to full depth with single component SealBoss 1570 NSF Certified Water Stop Foam and the Oakum-Soakum Method

Tilt-up Construction Joints are Typically Caulked

Over time, caulks often fail, break open, and allow water to flow into the structure. Caulk failure can be evident as shrinkage of the bead of sealant, delamination (caulk no longer sticks to surface), cracking of the bead, powdering or dusting of the surface of the caulking.

How to Create a New Full-Depth Joint Seal

While caulking creates a small 1/4″ to 1/2″ bond surface with the concrete panel, 1570 Polyurethane Leak Sealing Resin soaked SealBoss Seal-Oakum fibre provides a full-depth bond and seal against leaks permanently. The ‘Oakum Soakum Technique’ is a proven methodology for polyurethane chemical grout installation — creating a permanent seal that remains unaffected by wet, dry, and even in constant water submerged environments.

How to Prepare the Joint

Prior to any remedial repair, the existing, failed caulk has to be removed, and the joint needs to be free of any debris. The joint then needs to be wetted for the water activated grout to react, expand, and cure.

How to Install the Flexible Permanent Seal

To create a permanent seal with the Oakum-Soakum Technique, oakum fibres are first soaked in hydro-active 1570 polyurethane resin (catalyzed with SealBoss 15X Accelerator), and then pushed deep into the clean and pre-wetted joints to form a flexible and uniform seal during expansion.

How to Protect and Finish the Seal for Cosmetic Appearance

After the foam has cured, any surplus of the foam/oakum seal is cut back and finished with an even bead of caulk to provide UV resistance and achieve a matching surface appearance to the other caulked joints.

SealBoss provides training and certification and continuous customer support from a knowledgeable technical support team to assist with estimating, product recommendations, and assisting with a repair plan on those challenging jobs.

We will come out to Your Jobsite

Our trained and experienced technical representatives create a positive learning environment that develops confidence through hands on training while we providing tips and tricks of the trade as well as answering any questions to assist with the growth and success of your new crack repair solution.

On-Site Training with a Professional

For this training, SealBoss’s Regional Manager drove to the suburbs of Milwaukee, WI to train a contractor team of two brothers who were looking to expand their business and offer a system that would set them apart and result in a competitive edge over other Foundation Repair Contractors who do not have an injection certification and are not well trained in moisture control and leak-sealing crack injection techniques, but use methods of lower success rate and quality.

Ironically, the training took place in a basement that had previously been repaired using products which had failed and continued to have persistent moisture intrusion, providing the perfect training for the re-do repairs that can help establish a new company as a reputable provider of long-lasting solutions.

With a comprehensive introduction to the injection process and a demonstration of how to install packers and drill 45 degrees back into a crack, the contractor team was off drilling holes, setting injection packers and prepping for the repair. The wall was finished with a decorative brick form which meant that extra care had to be taken in placing and drilling the injection holes. Subsequently a thoroughly mixed up a catalyzed batch of SealBoss PUR Foam 1510 was prepared and injection began.

We are Interested in Your Success

Within four hours, the prep and injection of two separate form joints, where water intrusion had been observed, was completed and the contractors were comfortable enough to continue on with the repair on their own, the certification was completed and the contractors can confidently promote and grow their business.

What is SealBoss ® Can Seal Foam?

Can Seal Foam is a versatile, closed cell, self curing foam for universal uses. The product is a single component MDI based polyurethane of highest quality. It expands, bonds and seals while stopping the passage of air, gases, water and dust. Besides its obvious uses to stop water infiltration it can increase energy efficiency by stopping air exchange around windows, doors, wall intrusions and at sill plates. Its lightweight, closed cell structure makes it useful for deadening sound, flotation and thermal insulation. It is also useful for scaling work areas prior to stripping to prevent the transport of fibers. SealBoss Can Seal Foam is very efficient, you get up to eight gallons foam just from one can!

The Important SealBoss Difference

SealBoss ® Can Seal Foam is specially formulated to fully expand inside the applicator ‘gun barrel’. When the foam exits the tip of the gun it is almost fully expanded – you apply exactly as much foam as you need without the messy and undesired “mushrooming” experience you may have with most of the other ‘over the counter’ foam products. This feature makes our foam predictable and suitable for many applications that cannot be performed with standard foam products. And with the professional applicator gun you can fill voids with the exact amount of foam desired.

Contractors use our foam for many applications such as water-stop purposes in voids and cable runs, as an insulation and seal-foam in general construction and as an instant ‘Backer Rod Bead’ in applications where joints need a back fill prior to applying the final sealant.

A Midwestern contractor called and was having trouble pumping a polyurea joint filler on a high profile and time sensitive job.

A local SealBoss technical representative was able to meet the contractor at his shop in Kansas City the same day to take a close look at the JointMaster joint filling machine.

Upon initial inspection it was clear that JointMaster pump had not been serviced correctly. The ISO component of the material had been left in the pump for an extended period of time and had partially crystalized in the stainless steel hopper.

Pumps and Equipment don’t always get the treatment, care and maintenance they need to work properly.

This rugged JointMaster pump had been neglected and rebuilt before. It’s modular and sturdy design allows for a long service life and quick replacement of components.

Please call us for support and we will do our best to get you up and running.

After cleaning the crystalized material from the tank, the gear box cover was removed to inspect the chain and seized gears that may cause the pump to not pump material.

Once the motor mount was loosened, the chain was removed and the gears were checked. It was determined that the gear pump for the Iso component had seized and material had leaked from the seal which caused the gear to seize in place to the shank of the gear pump.

The hardened Iso component was carefully heated and softened till the gear was loose enough to turn by hand. The chain was re-tensioned and remaining material from the other hopper was pumped into a bucket for re-use.

The JointMaster machine was then thoroughly cleaned and a new gear pump for the Iso component was installed.

The whole process of diagnosis, purging, cleaning and installation of a new gear pump took approximately two hours.

The pump was now in working order and ready for use.
