All Applications
Durable Concrete
Preventing water and chlorides from penetrating concrete and protecting steel reinforcement from corrosion extends the useful life of concrete structures, lessens the demand for new cement in construction, and reduces maintenance and replacement costs. In addition, transforming concrete into a waterproof building material reduces the potential for building damage. Applications include:
- Foundation slabs and walls
- Water tanks and wastewater treatment plants
Belt and Suspender Systems
Sometimes you absolutely positively have to make sure that your structure won’t leak. Used with membranes, Hycrete waterproofing admixtures can provide additional protection against leaks – and also improve the durability of the structure.
Membrane-Free Waterproofing
Membranes can easily be damaged, are often environmentally unfriendly, and are expensive and time-consuming to install. Hycrete waterproofing admixtures can be used instead of membranes for some applications, and will improve durability as well as waterproofing.
Temporary Waterproofing
Installing and removing a temporary roof takes time and money. Pour a concrete slab containing Hycrete waterproofing admixtures instead, to speed up construction on the critical path.
Waterproofing Plus Corrosion Inhibition
Some structures need waterproofing and are also exposed to corrosion, which can shorten the life of the structure. Using Hycrete waterproofing admixtures can protect against both water ingress and corrosion – all in one product. No need to reapply.
Corrosion Inhibition
Hycrete corrosion inhibition admixtures outperform other products currently on the market. They’re also a green material, and increase the durability and lifecycle of structures exposed to corrosive salts.
Precast Concrete
When precast concrete absorbs water, it also absorbs corrosive salts that can rust rebar and cause spalling. Increase durability, protect against freeze-thaw, and reduce efflorescence and staining using Hycrete solutions.
CMU Block, Paver, and Mortar Cement
CMU blocks and cement naturally absorb water, and Hycrete solutions can significantly protect against water penetration and the damage it may cause.
Decorative / Architectural Concrete
To stay looking beautiful, decorative and architectural concrete needs to be protected against water penetration and the damage it may cause. Protect against spalling, leaching, efflorescence and staining using Hycrete solutions, to give your project a longer life in a sustainable way.
Stucco
Water ingress into mortar and stucco can cause damage to the structure underneath. Protect your structure using Hycrete stucco admixtures.
