How Does It Work?
Crystals that block the passage of water – while letting concrete breathe.
Crystalline Technology
How Crystalline Waterproofing Works
In the presence of water, the components which make up the concrete trigger a chemical reaction under the catalyst of active substances and reproduce crystalline along the cracks, which blocks the passages of water, inhibiting water leakage and achieving waterproofing/anti-corrosion properties.
Application is applied by trained technical personnel. The curing time is 24 hours.
The Crystallization Process
1. Penetration
The active substance contained in the crystalline permeates into the cracks and pores of the concrete, penetrating its capillary tracts.
2. Crystal Formation
The active ingredients react with various concrete materials, forming insoluble crystals which fill out cracks and pores.
3. Sealed & Breathing
Water and other chemicals can no longer pass through the concrete, but air still can – allowing the concrete to breathe and avoiding vapour pressure build-up.
Self-Sealing When Moisture Returns
In the absence of further moisture, the product’s components lie dormant. Should moisture recur at any time, the sealing process resumes automatically and advances deeper into the concrete, continuously sealing itself.
