Advantages of Crystalline Waterproofing
The active ingredients in a crystalline product react with the free lime & moisture in the concrete in the process of crystalline waterproofing. Here they make crystals in the capillary system of the concrete. Any Microcracks, pores & capillaries inside the concrete are filled by this process. It is filled with an insoluble crystalline formation that saves water & water-borne chemicals from entering, even in the situation of high hydrostatic pressure.
In other words, the concrete itself becomes a water obstruction as the crystalline technology is self-sealing. Crystalline waterproofing products are obtainable in 2 application techniques,
- Surface Application
- Admixture
ADVANTAGES OF CRYSTALLINE WATERPROOFING
1. INCREASED DURABILITY
The crystalline technology triggers fresh crystals to develop & seal the pores in the concrete, whenever any form of water enters the concrete, be it from new pores/cracks. Within the concrete is insoluble & will be resistant to physical damage & do not deteriorate, there is tears or seam leaks, no danger of punctures, the crystals that are created.
2. VERSATILITY IN APPLICATIONS
For a wide range of applications, the crystalline waterproofing systems are highly versatile, reliable & useful such as slurry application, dry sprinkle, / as an admixture. It becomes suitable for complex architectural designs that require safe waterproofing in any shape or form, as the crystalline technology promotes & increases the natural hydration procedure of cement.
3. NO VOCS
After demolition, crystalline waterproofing systems do not include any volatile organic compound & can be fully recycled. From the concrete, no membrane separation is needed.
Moreover, in the concrete waterborne pollutants are not there, & petroleum-based materials are not left behind.
4. EFFICIENT INSTALLATION
For installation of the protection layers, crystalline technology makes installation simple & it does not require protection against damages which results in saving the time. This greatly decreases manpower & shortens the construction program.
5. COST-SAVING
Crystalline waterproofing reduces the cost of a longer construction schedule, owing to its simple installation procedures and no requirement for protection layer & manpower to install protection layers & protection layers.
Crystalline waterproofing technology permits for a larger building footprint & lesser maintenance & repairs over the long term, with such lasting high-quality concrete protection.
Conclusion:
Efficient installation, cost-saving, increased durability, versatility in application, etc. are the main advantages of crystalline waterproofing. Crystalline waterproofing uses two techniques. The above information will provide details of it and its advantages.
