InjectionLEAK-STOP · PU & EPOXY · FULL-DEPTH

An injection leak-sealing system for cracks that pass water or move. Ports are set along the crack and resin is driven full-depth under pressure — a flexible PU resin that reacts with water to swell and seal active leaks, or a rigid epoxy for dry structural cracks. The right chemistry is matched to the crack.

OVERVIEW

What is Crack Injection?

Crack injection is a pressure technique that drives a liquid resin through the full depth of a concrete crack to seal it — most often to stop a leak. Injection packers are set along the crack and resin is pumped in under pressure until it fills the fissure. For cracks that are actively passing water or that move, a flexible polyurethane (PU) resin is used: it reacts with the water, swells into the crack and forms a watertight seal. For dry, dormant structural cracks, a rigid epoxy is used instead. POLYZEN selects the chemistry per crack and delivers it as an Applied System.

THE POLYZEN SYSTEM

How the Crack Is Sealed

A leaking crack is sealed from the inside — packers set, the right resin driven full-depth under pressure, then finished. Tap any stage to see its role.

Cure, Packer Removal & Finish

Sealed Crack

Once the resin has cured and the leak has stopped, the surface packers and any temporary seal are removed and the surface is made good. The crack is left sealed across its full depth. System values: Per TDS.

POLYZEN APPLIED SYSTEM

Delivered as a POLYZEN Applied System

This crack is sealed as a POLYZEN Applied System — surveyed, specified and installed turnkey by trained applicators using PU and epoxy injection resins, mechanical packers and pressure equipment. The resin chemistry and method are selected per crack: active or dormant, wet or dry, moving or static.

04
WHY IT WORKS

Match the Resin to the Crack

A leaking crack and a dry structural crack need opposite chemistries. Pour a rigid epoxy into a wet, moving crack and it will not seal; the leak finds its way around. POLYZEN's method starts with the diagnosis — is the crack active and wet, or dormant and dry — and selects a flexible water-reactive PU or a rigid epoxy accordingly, then injects it full-depth under pressure. The chemistry is matched to the crack. Performance is confirmed on the product TDS.

POLYZEN Values
Per Product TDS

Resin chemistry, packer spacing and injection pressure are specified per crack after survey. Crack injection seals the crack itself; where the wider area needs protection a full waterproofing system is recommended. POLYZEN confirms finished values on the product TDS and does not publish fabricated figures.

FROM SURVEY TO SEALED LEAK

The Application Process

01

Inspect & Diagnose

Assess water flow, movement and width, then choose the flexible PU or rigid epoxy chemistry.

02

Seal & Set Packers

Control the leak, temporarily seal the face, then drill and set packers along the crack.

03

Inject Under Pressure

Pump resin through the packers to full depth — PU swells to seal, epoxy fills and bonds.

04

Finish & Handover

Cure, remove packers, make good the surface, final inspection and written warranty.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is crack injection?
It is a pressure technique that drives a liquid resin through the full depth of a concrete crack to seal it — most often to stop a leak. Packers are set along the crack and resin is pumped in under pressure. A flexible PU resin is used for active, wet or moving cracks, and a rigid epoxy for dry, dormant structural cracks.
Can crack injection stop an active water leak?
Yes. For a crack that is actively passing water, a flexible polyurethane (PU) resin is injected. It reacts with the water in the crack, swells and forms a watertight seal, so it can stop a leak even while water is present. POLYZEN diagnoses the leak first and selects the correct resin.
When is PU used and when is epoxy used?
PU is used for active, wet or moving cracks because it stays flexible and reacts with water to seal. Epoxy is used for dry, dormant structural cracks where the goal is to bond the crack rigidly and restore strength. POLYZEN confirms which condition applies during survey and chooses accordingly.
How is this different from epoxy injection grouting?
Epoxy injection grouting is specifically the rigid, structural bonding of a dry crack to restore load transfer. Crack injection is the broader leak-sealing service that also covers active, wet and moving cracks using flexible PU resins. If your crack is dry and structural, epoxy grouting applies; if it is leaking or moving, PU crack injection does. POLYZEN recommends the right one on survey.
Is crack injection a POLYZEN Applied System?
Yes. Crack injection is delivered as a POLYZEN Applied System — surveyed, specified and installed turnkey by trained applicators, with the resin chemistry and method selected per crack: active or dormant, wet or dry, moving or static.
Does POLYZEN provide a warranty?
Yes. Every project is handed over after a final inspection and a written system warranty, with terms confirmed per crack type, water condition and project scope.
