Processing
Melavill SP is heated directly with its package to a maximum of 200 °C in the indirectly heated agitator cooker suited to it and poured into the sheet piling interlocks by hand or with a lance (i.e., there is no package waste).

Preparation
The sheet pile locks must be dry, clean, free of any loose particles, free of grease, oil and dust. To make Melavill SP adhere in the locks, cleaning with compressed air, a wire brush or a high-pressure water jet is recommended. The piles must be laid out in a perfectly horizontal position. In order to prevent the liquid Melavill SP from flowing out of the locks at the ends, they must be sealed with cement or another similar material.

Consumption
approx. 0.30 kg per running metre in the thread lock
approx. 0.10 kg per running metre in the pressed centre lock
approx. 0.35 kg per m sheet pile wall - with 600 mm sheet pile width
approx. 0.30 kg per m sheet pile wall - with 700 mm sheet pile width
approx. 0.25 kg per m sheet pile wall - with 750 mm sheet pile width

The quantities quoted are based on the Larssen lock in accordance with EN 10248. For other types of locks, consumption may vary accordingly.

Durability
The durability of Melavill SP in the filled sheet pile wall is as follows:
in water with a pH of 3.5 to 11.5: very good
in seawater: very good
