Waterproofing Admixtures

WATERPROOFING ADMIXTURES

Waterproofing admixtures can prevent water passage and protect the structures from degradation. It increases durability & helps to reduce maintenance costs. Various admixtures are helpful for structures like walls, basements, terraces & roofs. Waterproofing Admixtures have a massive range of construction.

SUNCRYSTALMIX: Chemical admixture for creating waterproof concrete
  • Reservoirs and foundations
  • Swimming pools
  • Sewage and water treatment plants
  • Secondary containment structures
  • Parking structures
  • Tunnels & subway systems
  • Underground vaults
  • Pre-cast, cast-in-place, and shotcrete applications
  • Can be easily added to a ready-mix truck or at the batch plant
  • Becomes an integral part of concrete
  • Self-heals hairline cracks
  • Reactivates in the presence of moisture, even years later
  • Effective against hydrostatic pressure up to 160
  • Positive and negative side waterproofing
  • Simply add directly to the concrete at any time mixer during the batching process
  • However, it is preferable to add SUNCRYSTALMIX to the batching water
  • Mix thoroughly for 10 minutes
  • Add the balance of materials by standard batching practices

FAQs

Waterproofing admixtures in concrete are chemical compounds added to concrete mixtures to enhance their resistance to water and moisture penetration. These admixtures help to reduce porosity and increase the waterproofing properties of the concrete, making it more durable and suitable for use in moisture-prone environments.
To waterproof concrete, additives like crystalline admixtures, hydrophobic or water-repellent chemicals, and pore-blocking elements are commonly used. These additives work by forming a barrier within the concrete's structure, reducing porosity and enhancing its ability to resist water penetration, thus ensuring greater durability and longevity in wet conditions.

These additives work by forming a barrier within the concrete's structure, reducing porosity and enhancing its ability to resist water penetration, thus ensuring greater durability and longevity in wet conditions.
Different types of waterproofing admixtures include crystalline admixtures, which form a water-impermeable crystalline structure within the concrete; hydrophobic or water-repellent admixtures, which reduce water absorption; and pore-blocking admixtures that decrease concrete porosity. Each type works uniquely to enhance the water resistance of concrete, catering to diverse construction needs.
The best waterproofing agent depends on the specific application and requirements. For concrete, crystalline admixtures are highly effective. Polyurethane or acrylic coatings are ideal for roofs and decks. Bituminous coatings are commonly used for foundations and below-ground waterproofing.
