Hycrete Admixtures are integral waterproofing solutions and enable concrete contractors to bid for both concrete and waterproofing on a project. This obviates the need for a separate waterproofing contractor and allows concrete conctractors to offer a value-added product. 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, Hycrete Admixtures provide concrete contractors with the peace of mind from using superior waterproofing solutions backed by a performance-based warranty (conditioned on project use review and acceptance).

Benefits to Concrete Contractor:

• Opportunity to Bid for Concrete and Waterproofing Together
• Time Savings and Value-Added Product
• Reduced Risk and Finger-Pointing
• Access to Sustainable Construction Market

* 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.
