Hycrete Applications

All Applications

Flooring Protection from Moisture Vapor

Preventing water from being absorbed into concrete and reducing moisture vapor transport through concrete are critical to protecting floor finishes and reducing delays associated with concrete drying. Hycrete admixtures limit moisture vapor transmission and reduce water absorption in concrete, helping to protect floors from moisture-related delamination. Applications include:

Below-grade slabs, slabs-on-grade, and elevated decks
Lightweight concrete decks
Composite and metal pan decks
Post-tensioned (PT) decks

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 Suspenders 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.
