Capillary Waterproofing

Permaquik 200 crystalline waterproofing is a capillary waterproofing formulation of proprietary blends of chemicals quartz sand and cement.

Capillary waterproofing. Waterproofing system ensures a total and permanent solution to water leakage ingress or seepage in concrete structures or any cementitious substrate. This integral structure fills the capillary tracts rendering the concrete waterproof. Such items may be used in wet environments or underwater to specified depths. We are proud to be a crystalline waterproofing supplier in malaysia.

Waterproofing is the process of making an object or structure waterproof or water resistant so that it remains relatively unaffected by water or resisting the ingress of water under specified conditions. This process precipitates a chemical reaction between xypex moisture and the by products of cement hydration forming a new non soluble crystalline structure. It resists strong hydrostatic pressure and is not a vapor barrier lets concrete breathe. Surface applied capillary waterproofing system for concrete and block work.

Thus came about xypex concrete waterproofing products. Capillary waterproofing technology also known as crystalline waterproofing was developed in denmark in 1945. In 1968 he was the first to bring capillary coating to north america. During the 1960 s hydra s president and founder originally from denmark worked closely with those who did the early development of these products.

Capillary action sometimes denoted as capillarity capillary motion or wicking refers to the ability of water to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of and in the opposite direction of gravity due to hydrostatic pressure. Capillary waterproofing aquafin ic integracoat is a state of the art one component penetrating cementitious material which waterproofs and protects new or old structurally sound concrete or concrete masonry in depth. The chemicals contained in the crystalline waterproofing materials require the presence of moisture to set off a chemical reaction from within the matrix of the concrete. Our cementitious capillary waterproofing products combine high quality cements quartz special grade sand and proprietary active ingredients to provide the most effective system to permanently reduce permeability and waterproof concrete.

Selecting the right waterproofing for your project we offer an array of options and newest technologies for maximum protection and expedited schedules. Water resistant and waterproof often refer to penetration of water in its liquid state and possibly under. Permaquik 200 crystalline waterproofing is a capillary waterproofing formulation of proprietary blends of chemicals quartz sand and cement. The formation and development of insoluble crystals into water bearing capillaries and interstices effectively blocks the further passage of water.
