Why Hycrete?
Conventional concrete absorbs water and dissolved salts through a network of capillaries and cracks. Hycrete Admixtures are monomolecular technologies that transform concrete into a waterproof construction material. Unlike external membranes or coatings, Hycrete Admixtures provide integral performance in order to repel water/chlorides and protect steel reinforcement from corrosion.
Hycrete Admixtures eliminate a time-consuming step and mitigate the probability of installation issues of external membranes or waterproof coatings. By reducing water-penetration problems, call-backs, and potential litigation associated with membrane installation, damage, or failure, The Hycrete Elite Waterproofing System delivers numerous and substantial benefits to those seeking reliable waterproofing solutions backed by a performance-based warranty. Other key benefits of The Hycrete Elite Waterproofing System are reducing time of construction and thereby, project costs. Specifying The Hycrete Elite Waterproofing System builds a strong foundation for project success and profitability.
The Hycrete Elite Waterproofing System Consists Of:
- Plan Review
- Batch Plant Inspection
- Our Proprietary Admixture
- Pre and Post-Pour Site Inspection
- Leak Closure from Cracks in Concrete
- Performance-Based Warranty
* Mixes incorporating Hycrete can be expected to have slightly lower compressive strengths compared to control mixes. This is easily compensated by normal means, such as the use of water reducers, increased cement, or lowering the W/C ratio (no more than 0.42 is recommended). Trial batches should be performed and appropriate adjustments should be made to the mix design prior to use.
