Crystalline waterproofing is a process where the active ingredients in a crystalline product react with the free lime and moisture in the concrete to form crystals within the capillary system of the concrete.
The 5 Main Benefits of Crystalline Waterproofing
THE 5 MAIN BENEFITS
OF CRYSTALLINE
WATERPROOFING
INTRODUCTION
The process of crystalline waterproofing occurs when the active ingredients in a crystalline product
react with the free lime and moisture in the concrete to form crystals within the concrete's capillary
system. This process effectively fills any micro cracks, pores, and capillaries within the concrete
with an insoluble crystalline formation that prevents water and water-borne chemicals from
entering, even when subjected to high hydrostatic pressure.
In other words, because the concrete itself becomes a water barrier, the crystalline technology is
self-sealing. Crystalline waterproofing products are available in two application methods: surface
application or incorporation into the concrete as an Admixture. So, what are the main advantages of
crystalline waterproofing over other more traditional waterproofing methods?
ENHANCED DURABILITY
When water enters the concrete, whether, through new cracks or
pores, the crystalline technology causes new crystals to grow and
seal the pores. The crystals that form within the concrete are
insoluble and will resist physical damage and deterioration; there
is no risk of punctures, tears, or seam leaks.
As a result, when crystalline waterproofing systems are used, the
durability of a building increases.
APPLICATION VERSATILITY
The crystalline waterproofing systems are
extremely versatile, useful, and dependable
in a variety of applications such as dry
sprinkles, slurry applications, or as
admixtures. Because crystalline technology
promotes and improves cement's natural
hydration process, it is suitable for complex
architectural designs that require secure
waterproofing in any shape or form.
THERE ARE NO VOCS
After demolition, crystalline waterproofing
systems contain no volatile organic compound
(VOC) and can be completely recycled. There
is no need for membrane separation from the
concrete.
Furthermore, there are no waterborne
contaminants in the concrete, and no
petroleum-based materials are left behind to
leach into the soil.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
Crystalline technology simplifies
installation and eliminates the need for
damage protection, which reduces the
time required for protection layer
installation. This significantly reduces
labor requirements and shortens the
construction timeline.
COST-CUTTING MEASURES
Because of its simple installation procedures and
lack of the need for a protection layer, crystalline
waterproofing saves money on a longer
construction schedule, manpower to install
protection layers, and the protection layers them.
Because crystalline waterproofing technology
provides permanent high-quality concrete
protection, it allows for a larger building footprint
and less maintenance and repairs in the long run.
