Concrete Waterproofing
Watertight concrete system specified for Goldsmiths, University of London
Triton's concrete waterproofing systems are designed for the protection and waterproofing of new or existing concrete structures. The range includes integral waterproofing additives, in-depth crystalline waterproofers for new construction, surface applied coatings for existing concrete structures and products for dealing with construction joints, service entries and leak sealing.
Cementitious "tanking" and epoxy systems are a traditional method of waterproofing and can be used as an alternative to cavity drain membranes in certain applications. Cementitious systems are suited to contracts where limited areas are to be treated or where drainage cannot be easily achieved. These systems can also be used in combination with cavity drain membranes, most commonly where headroom is limited or where there is a flat soffit with no drainage falls.
Typical areas of use:
- Watertight concrete structures
- Below ground structures Concrete waterproofing - i.e. lift pits
- New build and retrofit basements
- Swimming pools
- Underground car parks
- Triton TT55
- Triton TT Super/Triton TT Super (White)

Triton TT55
Waterproof Slurry
- single component, polymer modified cement "tanking" system for walls and floors
- highly effective damp proof membrane for brickwork, concrete or any cementitious substrate
Surfaces to be treated with TT55 should be correctly prepared, free from all loose materials and contaminants and be in a sound and solid condition. For application to floors, TT55 should be applied directly to the structural slab. For wall applications, TT55 should be sandwiched between sand/cement render coats. For all TT55 applications, special attention should be given to wall/floor junctions.
TT55 is available in 25kg bags or tubs
NB: Triton Fillet Seal is a pre-packed, cement based and polymer modified product for use as a floor to wall junction seal during waterproofing works when using cementitious slurry coatings and renders. Fillet Seal helps to ensure a smooth transition between horizontal and vertical surfaces which minimises the risk of leaving gaps or holes unsealed during the waterproofing works.
Triton TT Super/Triton TT Super (White)
A surface applied system which waterproofs and protects concrete in depth. Supplied as a powder which only needs mixing with water before application on: basements/retaining walls, concrete slabs (floor/roof/balcony), construction joints, water retaining structures, swimming pools, reservoirs, sewage treatment plants, channels and potable water tanks.
When applied to a concrete surface, the active chemicals combine with the free lime and moisture present in the capillary track to form insoluble crystals which block capillaries and minor shrinkage cracks to prevent any further water ingress (even under pressure). However the product still allows the passage of water vapour through the structure, allowing the concrete to ‘breathe’. It also protects concrete against seawater, aggressive ground water and certain chemical solutions. Two versions of this product are available, please refer to the chart below before specification:
| Triton TT Super | Triton TT Super (White) | |
|---|---|---|
| Colour: | Cement Grey | White |
| Withstand Water Pressure: | >12 bars @ 28 days | >7 bars @ 28 days |
| Bulk Density: | Approx. 1.25 | Approx. 1.20 |
| Setting Time: | 60 minutes | 120 - 180 minutes |
Triton TT Super Admix
A unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing and protection of concrete - designed to be used as an admix at the time of batching. The active chemicals react with fresh concrete to generate a non-soluble crystalline formation which seals the concrete itself against the penetration of water or liquid, protecting it from the deterioration effect of harsh environmental conditions.
Triton TT Waterstop
A pre-formed waterstop available in a ready to use roll which swells up to 700% when in contact with water. When fully encapsulated by poured concrete, the expansive forces form a seal against concrete surfaces to resist hydrostatic pressure and to stop water from entering the sub-structures. Triton TT Waterstop returns to its original size if the concrete and substrate is completely dry but re-expands to seal the potential leaking joints when water or moisture is re-introduced. Its service life is indefinite with a permanent water tight function and excellent resistance to acid and alkaline conditions. The product is extruded in a rectangular shape for optimal adhesion. The built in delay system means Waterstop will activate approximately two days after constant exposure to water and will withstand up to a 40 metre head of pressure.
Triton TT Swellseal Mastic
A gun applied, one-component hydro-reactive expansion sealant for waterproofing joints in concrete. It will swell up to 100% when in contact with water to create a durable waterstop with long lasting adhesive and hydro-swelling properties. In contact with sea water, Triton Swell Mastic will expand between 50% and 70%.
Triton Quick Set
Triton Quick Set (TQS) is a single component, cementitious, fast setting plugging compound. TQS, when mixed with water, produces a material to stem water flow, but can also be used as a fast setting mortar repair.
Triton Quick Set is supplied in 15 kg containers.
Triton SBR
Triton SBR is a latex admixture for cementitious mixes, renders, screeds and waterproof slurry coatings. Triton SBR improves the workability and durability of cement mixes, resulting in the cured material having a higher strength, density and water impermeability. Triton SBR will increase the flexibility and adhesive bond of a mix.
Triton SBR is available in 5 litre and 25 litre containers.
Triton Fillet Seal
Fillet Seal used in below ground refurbishment
A pre-packed cement based and polymer modified product for use as a floor to wall junction seal during waterproofing works when using cementitious slurry coatings such as Triton TT55. In most circumstances, Fillet Seal need only be mixed with water for use. Where extra adhesion is required, Triton SBR may be used. Note: Where water is leaking or seeping the use of Triton Quick Set is advised.
The use of Fillet Seal helps to ensure a smooth transition between horizontal and vertical surfaces which minimises the risk of leaving gaps or holes unsealed during the waterproofing works.
Preparation:
Situations where the Fillet Seal will be employed should already have been prepared in accordance with the slurry coating or render specification. In the majority on instances, the Fillet Seal will be applied on to the slurry coated surface.
