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.
