Por-Rok Waterproofing Aqua Plug – Rapid-Set Hydraulic Cement for Active Leaks
The Por-Rok Aqua Plug is a hydraulic, quick-setting repair compound designed to stop active water leaks through concrete and masonry surfaces. Engineered for jobs where water infiltration is under pressure, this material sets rapidly, expands as it cures, and develops a durable bond that seals against hydrostatic pressure.
Why Professionals Use Aqua Plug
Por-Rok’s Aqua Plug is trusted on job sites for emergency and permanent repairs. Its single-component, non-metallic formulation mixes easily with water, applies directly to the affected area, and begins setting immediately. Once cured, it resists freeze-thaw cycles and provides a long-term waterproofing barrier.
Key Performance Benefits
- Rapid Setting: Begins to harden in minutes, stopping leaks on contact.
- Hydrostatic Resistance: Formulated to hold against water pressure infiltration.
- Expansive Properties: Expands slightly while curing to ensure a tight seal.
- Non-Corrosive: Chloride-free, non-metallic blend prevents rust and deterioration.
- Freeze-Thaw Stable: Reliable for below-grade and exterior applications in varying climates.
Technical Data
- Form: Hydraulic cement repair mortar
- Weight: 50 lb bag
- Specific Gravity: 2.6–2.7
- Set Time: Instant to a few minutes depending on temperature
- Application: Sealing water seepage through concrete, block, and masonry
Installation Guidelines
For best results, surface preparation is critical. Remove loose material, open cracks to a V-notch where possible, and clean the substrate of dirt and debris. Mix Aqua Plug with clean water into a putty-like consistency. Apply by hand or trowel, pressing firmly into the leaking area until initial set occurs. Due to the product’s rapid cure, mixing should be done in small batches that can be placed immediately.
