Lamposilex is an ultra-rapid hydraulic waterplug for stopping active water ingress in compatible concrete and masonry. It is designed for the repair moment when ordinary cement mortar would wash out before hardening: once mixed, it develops a firm plug in about two minutes under typical conditions.
Stop the leak before continuing the repair
A basement wall, water tank or below-ground concrete structure may have a concentrated leak through a hole or crack. Lamposilex allows the repairer to prepare the opening, mix a small amount and press the compound firmly against the ingress so the remaining waterproofing work can proceed. MAPEI also identifies uses in watertight rigid joints and suitable hydraulic structures.
Why speed matters
The extremely short setting time is the reason to choose Lamposilex, but it also means the surface and access must be prepared before mixing. It is a targeted leak-stopping compound, not a substitute for a complete waterproofing design or a flexible joint seal.
Before you start
Use only small workable mixes and observe site safety for pressurised leakage. MAPEI identifies potable-water suitability under AS/NZS 4020:2018; still confirm the intended complete system and current project requirements.
