When it comes to the most prevalent construction and maintenance issues for homeowners, builders, and facility managers, cracks in plastered walls are right at the top of that list. Even tiny cracks enable water penetration, dust accumulation, staining and progressive deterioration of wall surfaces. Left unaddressed, these hairline fissures grow over time, which can result in dampness and paint failure, as well as damage to the structural appearance.
Conventional crack repair methods, such as filling with cement paste or ordinary putty do not work since the material in a wall around a crack lacks excess flexibility and adhesion. These inflexible materials cannot allow for structural movement and ultimately open again.
DRYFIKS™ Crack-Seal 05 is an advanced ready-to-use flexible crack repair putty based on acrylic polymer developed by Autoflege Construction Chemicals specifically to permanently seal cracks in all plastered surfaces. It offers great adhesion, excellent water resistance, and a long-lasting fill while providing you with a smooth surface that is ready for paint.

What is DRYFIKS™ Crack-Seal 05?

DRYFIKS™ Crack-Seal 05 is a single-component, high-quality crack filler based on acrylic emulsion polymers, graded fillers and reinforcing fibres. The product is available in a soft paste form that can be directly applied in the form of putty using a putty knife without any mixing or dilution.
Conventional fillers harden, but Crack-Seal 05 cures to a flexible compound that can take up small movements in the walls and help keep cracks from re-opening.

It acts as:

  • Crack-filling compound
  • Flexible wall repair putty
  • Waterproof crack sealing solution
  • Paintable surface repair material

Restoring surface integrity, this crack filler is suitable for interior plaster cracks and external plaster cracks as wide as 5 mm while aiding in the aesthetic finish of your constructions.

The Most Common Issues of Wall Cracks

Cracks in walls can be caused by:

  • Plaster shrinkage
  • Thermal expansion and contraction
  • Settlement of structure
  • Moisture penetration
  • Poor curing practices
  • Weather exposure

Typical issues include:

  • Water seepage through cracks
  • Wall staining and dampness
  • Paint peeling and blistering
  • Dust accumulation
  • Reduced surface strength

DRYFIKS™ Crack-Seal 05 is an effective repair setting that seals and blocks water penetration.

Application Areas for Waterproofing in Construction

Exterior/Interior Walls

DRYFIKS™ Crack-Seal 05 is ideal for all types of wall surfaces, from interior to exterior. This flexible acrylic putty is formulated to withstand environmental stress and changing weather conditions, so it will give you a durable seal around your structure that will prevent water from penetrating through to the interior and help protect the building’s facade against progressive deterioration.

Hairline Cracks

Moisture, dust, and stains can build up over time in hairline cracks. This buildup can lead to dampness in the building and ultimately result in the failure of the paint. The acrylic putty fills the narrow gaps caused by hairline cracks and creates both an airtight and watertight barrier, preventing moisture from entering the wall and causing damage to the inside of the building.

Plastered Surfaces

The putty is specifically designed for use on plastered surfaces and has a much greater level of adhesion than standard cement-based fillers. The putty will bond to the substrate and create a smooth and long-lasting fill without shrinking away or pulling away from the wall, allowing the wall to retain its aesthetic properties and structural integrity.

Larger Cracks

DryFiks™ Crack-Seal 05 is a high-grade repair caulk that can be used for major repairs where a more substantial filler is needed. When combined with fiber-reinforced and graded fillers, it provides a strong, flexible caulk that can be applied thickly into cracks and will remain flexible after being applied.

Preparing for Painting

When preparing for painting, DRYFIKS™ Crack-Seal 05 is an important component in the preparation of the surface. It creates a smooth, paint-ready surface for your renovation project. In addition, it will eliminate some of the causes of paint failure such as paint flakes, tears, and/or efflorescence allowing decorative coatings to maintain their beauty for many years after completion.

Expansion and Contraction Areas

Rigid fillers are meant to expand and contract to accommodate building construction movement and are frequently not successful due to being unable to accommodate movements caused by construction and a structure’s natural shifting. Flexible acrylic technology will allow for building movement and, as a result, will keep joints and cracks sealed for the life of the building while also maintaining the waterproof integrity of the wall.

How DRYFIKS™ Crack-Seal 05 Works?

Conventional fillers dry to a brittle consistency, which means that movement or temperature changes can reopen small cracks.
Advances in the Technology used in DRYFIKS™ Crack-Seal 05 acrylic polymers will result in:

  • Attachment of crack edges to acrylic polymer at a high strength.
  • Strong bonded with the plaster surface.
  • Strong composite repeatable attachment.
  • Blocks water ingress.
  • Maintains elasticity after curing.

This combination produces superior long-, or short-term crack sealing ability.
