What do we need?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Waterproofing\u00a0application over the concrete surface is the most common solution. There are however a few cases that waterproofing is\u00a0damaged or removed by chemical or mechanical stresses. Besides, the “injured” waterproofing\u00a0is the most common cause of failure of a seal. The aim is to build an active concrete waterproofing system, an integral part of the concrete core. It is ideal for basements, marine structures, bathrooms, partitions, exterior walls, interior walls, foundations, concrete waterproofing, swimming pools, wells, concrete slabs, concrete ceilings, drinking water tanks, water treatment ponds, green roofs, tunnels, bridges, balconies, concrete repair and waterproofing, waste water treatment tanks, masonry waterproofing, dams, roads, aquariums.<\/p>\n

How do we do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

DSF 315 CRYSTALLINE ADMIX is an admixture of crystalline powder designed to interact with the capillary structures and concrete pores and create a sealing system (crystal structure) of the concrete. Over time, the active compounds, in combination with calcium hydroxide and moisture that exists in the capillary structures, form insoluble crystalline complexes. These crystals block the capillaries and small shrinkage cracks in the concrete to prevent inflow of water (even under pressure). Later,\u00a0in case of crack appearance on concrete (due to maturing or shrinkage), incoming water triggers the crystallization process, thereby causing more crystals (absorbing water), which fill the gap of the crack\u00a0and ensure the protection of concrete from moisture. Furthermore, the application of DSF 315 CRYSTALLINE ADMIX ensures the reduction of capillary structures in the concrete, resulting in substantially improved characteristics of concrete regarding its strength. However, the concrete continues to allow the passage of water vapor through the structure (i.e. the concrete is still able to “breathe”). DSF 315 CRYSTALLINE ADMIX is one of the few products in the global\u00a0market covering American (ASTM) and European (CE) standards for concrete admixtures. The concrete containing DSF 315 Crystalline Admix may develop higher strength than a plain concrete.<\/p>\n

PREPARATION OF ADMIXTURE<\/p>\n

DSF 315 CRYSTALLINE ADMIX can be used in barrel or cement silos. It will be added to the initial batch, preferably when the aggregates are added to the mixing tube. The concrete must be mixed for at least 8 to 10 minutes with regular mixing speed and after all ingredients have been incorporated, should ensure thorough dispersion of all the materials. DSF 315 CRYSTALLINE ADMIX should not be added to the concrete mix after the cementitious materials. Alternatively, DSF 315 CRYSTALLINE ADMIX may be used\u00a0in the mixer of the concrete industry.
