This product is a powdered, rigid waterproofing material made from special cement, quartz sand, and various active substances. When mixed with water, the active chemical substances in the material penetrate into the concrete through a carrier, catalyzing the silicates in the concrete to form water-insoluble crystals that fill and seal capillary pores and microcracks. This process densifies the concrete, thereby enhancing its impermeability and providing waterproof protection.
Based on their method of application, cement-based penetrating crystalline waterproofing materials are classified into cement-based penetrating crystalline waterproofing coatings (C) and cement-based penetrating crystalline waterproofing additives (A).
Products are labeled in order by name and standard number.
Example: Cement-based penetrating crystalline waterproofing coating is labeled as:
CCCW C GB 18445-2012
Application by Brushing:
Directions: First, pour the water into a container, then add the powder to the water, and mix quickly with a mixer for about 10 minutes.
Application: Use a stiff-bristled brush to apply the coating evenly to the concrete substrate. Typically, apply 2 to 3 coats. After each coat, cure the surface by spraying water or covering it with a damp cloth. Wait until the previous coat has developed sufficient strength before applying the next one. If the previous coat has dried and turned white, spray water to moisten it before applying the next coat. When the coating thickness is 0.8 mm, the material consumption is approximately 1.0–1.2 kg/m².
Dry-Spray Application:
Evenly spread 1.5 kg/m² of powder over the surface of the concrete before it has fully set. Immediately use a wooden trowel or a power trowel to press the powder into the concrete and finish the surface until the desired result is achieved.
Widely used for waterproofing both the water-facing and non-water-facing sides of cement mortar, as well as new and existing concrete buildings and structures. Examples include basements, subway systems, bathrooms, kitchens, reservoirs, swimming pools, water storage structures, culverts, and concrete roadways.
