ISO 9001 Quality Management
Certificate type
Koster BDM combines all three important characteristics for a waterproof concrete admixture. It crystallizes, blocks capillaries and makes the concrete inherently water-repellent.
Application
Decreases the water absorption of concrete where low absorption is demanded and is suitable for:
- All structural concrete mixes including ready-mix and pre-cast.
- Below-ground structures (habitable and car parks) including, basements, lift pits, slabs, liner walls and capping beams.
- Podium decks and green roofs.
- Water-retaining structures including swimming pools, ponds and reservoirs.
- Volatile ground conditions e.g. waste transfer stations.
- Ideal in tunnel or bridge design.
Description
A high performing liquid additive which can be used as part of a reinforced concrete mix design to comply to Type B waterproofing and can be used in all Grades according to BS 8102 2022.
Features and benefits:
- Can be used as a single waterproofing system.
- It raises the chemical resistance of the concrete therefore increasing the structures life.
- Crystallizes and blocks the pores within concrete.
- Raises the inherent water resistance of the concrete significantly.
- Does not contain any corrosive or aggressive ingredients.
- Can provide both positive and negative side resistance.
