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.

Can Lamposilex stop water under pressure?
Yes. It is designed for instant stopping of active water leaks, including pressurised leaks.

How fast does it set?
About 1.5 to 2 minutes at 20°C.

Is Lamposilex suitable for potable water?
Yes. It is certified to AS/NZS 4020:2018.

Can it be applied below 5°C?
No. The technical guidance excludes application below 5°C.

Ultra-fast hydraulic binder for stopping active water leaks, including water under pressure. Sets in about 1.5 to 2 minutes at 20°C. Suitable for basements, tunnels, tanks and rigid wall-to-floor joints. Certified to AS/NZS 4020:2018 for potable-water contact. Waterproof and water-repellent after cure.
Open leaking cracks or holes to form a mechanically keyed cavity and remove loose material. Pre-wet the prepared area, leaving the surface damp without standing water. Mix only a small quantity at a time because the material sets in about 1.5 to 2 minutes at 20°C. Shape the mix into a plug, force it into the leak and hold it under pressure until set. For rigid joints, work the fresh material into the prepared cavity immediately after mixing.
Do not add lime, cement or gypsum. Do not leave the product exposed to direct sunlight before use. Do not apply below 5°C. In hot conditions keep the product cool and use cold mixing water. In cold conditions store the product in a warm area and use water at about 20°C.

  • Cementitious masonry.
  • Rigid wall-to-floor joints.
  • Concrete tanks and below-grade structures.
