VANDEX CLADDING OF STONE/ BITUMINIOUS FELT.
� Easy& Fast application (even when wet)application (even when wet)
No Protection needed (Cost saving).
� Long Life
� Forms part of Structural
� concrete.
� Crack Bridge by crystallization upto 0.3 mm .
� Sealmess and no fear of joint failures due to age. Vandex Super is part and parcel of the structural concrete incase of structural alterations there are no cold joints formed due to age of applications.
� Can be applied with ease from negative side of basement structure and can be applied post construction also.
� Very Slow application and time consuming.
� Protection needed (Extra cost)
� Extra cost of protection
� Does not form part of structure.
� Has very Limited crack bridging capacity.
� Fear of Joint failure ever present due to water pressure or age or poor workmanship
� Does not form part of structural failure the system is not repairable from negetive side.
� Can not be applied or used from negetive side or post construction.

How it shouldn’t be !!
• The laitance is still existing
Surface preparation
All concrete to be treated must be
clean and have an ”open” capillary
system.
Remove laitance, dirt, grease, etc. by
suitable means.
Concrete without any surface

Concrete which received a
surface preparation by high
pressure water jetting

Prewatering
Surfaces must be carefully prewatered
prior to the Vandex application.
The concrete surface must be damp
but not wet.
Simple test by hand
� Do not apply the products at temperatures below the values indicated on the product data sheet or on frozen substrates
