Crystalline Waterproofing

CEMENTITIOUS CRYSTALLINE WATERPROOFING
A cementitious powder consisting of chemicals, special treated quartz and cement that reacts with water and free lime in concrete to form non-soluble crystal that fills capillaries, tracts or voids, thereby waterproofing is effective against negative and positive water pressure and therefore is more conveniently and economically applied on applications where conventional waterproofing cannot.

After the concrete structure has been fully waterproofed, the chemicals remain dormant. But as soon as moisture or water is introduced again, the entire osmotic process start over. Crystalline growth of this type of waterproofing has been found to be up to 36 inches from the source of application depending on the brand.

The crystals produced by the chemicals prevent the larger molecules of water from penetrating the capillary tracts but allows the smaller air molecules to pass, thereby letting the concrete structure to “breathe”.
