ECOCRYL
CE-marking in accordance with EN 1504-5

Properties: ECOCRYL is a three-component, water-swelling hydrogel based on acrylate


or methacrylate that hardens to an elastic product.

ECOCRYL is especially noted for its low blending viscosity that is almost
equivalent to the viscosity of water. ECOCRYL can be applied in the case of
grout curtains and ground stabilisation.

Differing pot lives can be defined (see table pot life below), adapted to the
application and environmental temperature, by varying the B-amount of salt
(100 g up to 1000 g based on 20 kg AI component).

Technical Data: Substance data of components:

Mixture of A- and B-component:

Viscosity of mixture (20°C) approx. 4.2 mPas DIN EN ISO 2555
Reaction data at 20°C:
Pot-life ** 15 s - 60 min DIN EN 14022
Final curing ** 2 - 70 min

Properties after curing:


Consistency soft-elastic

E-modulus approx. 0.26 MPa DIN EN ISO 527
Tensile strength approx. 0.04 MPa DIN EN ISO 527
Elongation at break approx. 510 % DIN EN ISO 527
Water absorption approx. 100 % DIN EN ISO 62

* The declared range of temperature complies with our recommendations. Generally, the product reacts even at
very low temperatures (from experience down to approx. -15°C) or distinct higher values than +40°C.
Admittedly, problems might occur, which are not directly related to the properties of the product. At sharp frost
the air line of the pump might freeze or even present ice inside the structural element to be sealed can cause
difficulties. At temperatures above-average too short reaction times can arise, which prevent an entire and
successful filling of the injection area. Beside that it might happen that the activated A-component at very high
temperatures starts curing even without addition of the B-component, which results in a blockage of the
injection pump.
** The indicated times are reached through different quantities of B component and ECOCRYL Retarder.

Processing: The AII-container is emptied completely into the AI container and mixed for
approx. 3 minutes.

The B-component is filled into a container equivalent to the AI component and


filled with 18 litres tap water. Then it is mixed again for 3 minutes.

The A and B components prepared in this way should be processed at mixing


ratio 1 : 1 (parts by volume) by means of a 2-component injection pump.

Appropriate injection pumps: BOOSTER 10 A


MINIBOOSTER 5U
TPH INJECT AirPower S25-3K, VA

Different pot-lives can be defined depending on the amount of B salt and the
temperature. The indicated quantities of salt (B component) must not fall short
or be exceeded.

Pot-life depending on B-amount and temperature:

25 °C 0:47 0:27 0:17 0:12 0:10


20 °C 0:56 0:33 0:21 0:17 0:15
15 °C 1:10 0:48 0:27 0:20 0:17
10 °C 1:56 1:07 0:37 0:30 0:23
5 °C 3:11 1:12 0:40 0:33 0:26
100 g 200 g 500 g 800 g 1000 g

(Amounts based on 20 kg AI- and 1 kg AII-component)

Longer reaction times can be achieved by use of the ECOCRYL retarder. This
retarding additive (1kg PE bottle) is being emptied fully into the prepared
water bucket together with the appropriate quantity of salt component.

The quantity of water must be equal to the quantity of AI and AII component
(20kg AI + 1kg AII). The mixture of water, salt and retarder is being mixed for
at least 3 minutes.
Pot-life depending on B-amount and temperature in case of using
ECOCRYL retarder:

25 °C 28:48 10:12 6:44 4:48 3:30


20 °C 40:30 15:10 10:20 7:00 5:40
15 °C 61:40 24:48 13:24 9:23 7:24
10 °C 102:42 40:20 21:36 12:44 11:28
5 °C 157:44 60:16 34:16 24:04 19:28
200 g 400 g 600 g 800 g 1000 g

(Amounts based on 20 kg AI-component , 1 kg AII-component and 1 kg retarder)

A reaction time of 2 to 4 minutes should be defined in the case of grout


curtains and ground stabilisation, to achieve optimal saturation of the ground.

It has been proved in extensive tests that faster reaction times have a
negative effect as no uniform gel curtain or rather uniform distribution of the
injection material can be achieved.

Safety information: ECOCRYL component B is classified as hazardous according to Regulation


(EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).

It is therefore necessary, before beginning processing, to become familiar


with the precautions and safety advice as indicated in the material safety data
sheet.

Packaging: Component AI 20 kg-plastic canister


Component AII 1 kg-plastic bottle
Component B 1 kg-plastic can
Retarder 1 kg-plastic bottle

Bigger packaging on request.

Storage: Shelf life at least 12 month in original packaging when stored in dry
conditions between 15-25°C, protected from heat, frost and direct sunlight.

After the expiration the use of the product is generally not recommended,
unless an approval has been provided by TPH. This approval can only be
obtained by the quality assurance department of TPH releasing the material
after verification of main properties being within specification.

Disposal: Small quantities of cured product residues can be disposed of as normal


domestic waste. Dispose of not cured product components must be effected
in accordance with the corresponding local regulations. For further information
please refer to the material safety data sheets.
