AV-118® Duriflex

AV-118® Duriflex

AV-118® Duriflex, a high-performance, proprietary liquid acrylic grout, is designed to prevent water infiltration in manholes, mainlines, laterals, tunnels, mines, and other underground structures. AV-118 forms a durable, long-lasting water barrier on the exterior of these structures. This ultra-low viscosity, chemically reactive gel can successfully penetrate soil and rock, and cures in controllable set times from seconds to several hours. Once cured, AV-118 not only creates an effective water barrier but also offers excellent soil stabilization. 

AV-118® Duriflex is certified for NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 - Drinking Water System Components. Only Avanti’s AV-101® Catalyst T+ and AV-102® Catalyst AP or AV-103® Catalyst SP can be used to maintain certification against NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 Drinking Water System Components.

APPLICATIONS, FEATURES, AND BENEFITS OF AV-118 DURIFLEX:

  • Stops water infiltration into manholes, sanitary and storm sewer mainlines, joints, laterals, tunnels, mines, and various other geotechnical applications and underground structures by stabilizing the external substrate
  • Permeation grouting of non-cohesive soils for water control and soil improvement 
  • Ground modification for soil improvement, encapsulation, or water control 
  • Over 35 years of safe and successful documented use
  • Lower acrylamide content than AV-100 Chemical Grout
  • Greater longevity compared to silicates
