Injection resins (PU flexible)
Expanding and hydrophilic polyurethane injection resin — technical reference for settlement cracks in Australian remedial building practice. Covers system selection, product comparisons, and brand equivalents.
What is injection resins (pu flexible)?
Polyurethane (PU) flexible injection resins are used to seal cracks in concrete and masonry that are subject to ongoing movement, seasonal thermal cycling, or water ingress. The resin is pumped under low pressure through ports installed along the crack at regular intervals, filling the void and curing to a flexible elastomeric material that accommodates future movement. Expanding foam variants react with moisture present in the crack to form a water-stopping seal, making them the product of choice for wet and actively leaking cracks in basements, water-retaining structures, and below-grade construction. This is a sealing solution, not a structural one — PU injection does not restore tensile continuity across the crack. The cause of cracking should be investigated and, where active movement is ongoing, addressed before injection is undertaken.

Sika Injection-107
expanding hydrophilic PU injection resin, 600 mL / 20 L drum
System Description
Reacts with water to expand and fill void. Use for active leaks or voids under slabs. Multiple stages.
Technical Properties
- Flexible when cured — accommodates future movement in live or dynamic cracks
- Expanding foam variants effectively seal water-active and wet cracks
Limitations
- Not structural — does not restore tensile continuity or section strength across the crack
- May re-open if crack movement exceeds the product's elongation capacity
