Crystalline waterproofing coating (1.0mm-2.0mm total application thickness)
Portland cement-based coating containing proprietary crystalline chemicals that penetrate concrete to form insoluble crystals, providing permanent waterproofing through pore blocking
Portland cement-based coating containing proprietary crystalline chemicals that penetrate concrete to form insoluble crystals, providing permanent waterproofing through pore blocking
Crystalline waterproofing coating is a surface-applied cementitious slurry that creates an integral waterproofing system by penetrating into concrete substrates. When applied at 1.0-2.0mm thickness, the active chemicals react with moisture and cement hydration by-products to generate non-soluble crystalline formations within concrete pores and capillaries, providing permanent protection against water ingress even under high hydrostatic pressure.
- Permanent waterproofing solution - lifetime of concrete
- Self-healing capability for cracks up to 0.4mm
- Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure (positive/negative)
