Precast Manufacturers

Ordinary concrete, the world’s most widely used building material, absorbs water and dissolved salts through its network of pores, leading to water infiltration and corrosion of steel reinforcement. Hycrete’s waterproofing and corrosion protection solutions for precast concrete significantly reduce water and chloride ingress through concrete by shutting down capillary absorption, extending structural life and preserving aesthetic integrity. Waterproof your precast concrete and offer superior performance by incorporating Hycrete admixtures into your mix.

Benefits

  • Offer a premium product by incorporating Hycrete admixtures
  • Protect against corrosion and enhance durability
    • Extend structural life and reduce maintenance and replacements costs
    • Protect concrete from freeze-thaw damage
  • Reduce water absorption and potential for water damage
  • Protect concrete from sulfuric acid and other deleterious substances
  • Stain resistance; efflorescence protection

Functional applications for waterproof precast concrete include:

  • Jersey barriers/traffic barriers
  • Manholes
  • Concrete pipes
  • Precast parking structures
  • Tilt-up panel walls
  • Underground utility structures
  • Retaining and sound walls
  • Box culverts
  • Wastewater treatment
  • Septic tanks
  • Grease interceptors

Decorative applications for waterproof architectural concrete include:

  • Architectural and decorative concrete
  • Manufactured stone

Why you should use Hycrete admixtures instead of the alternatives

Hycrete admixtures Stearates (eg. Grace Darapel) Crystallines (eg. Xypex Admix, Kryton KIM, Penetron) Calcium nitrite (eg. Grace DCI, BASF Rheocrete)
