Crystalline waterproofing technology: Revolutionised concrete protection

We at First Choice Ready Mix are committed to offer you with the most cutting edge technology to ensure longevity and durability of concrete structure. Introduction of Crystalline Waterproofing gives a modern shape to the concrete structures and keeps it for long. This state-of-the-art method changed the dynamics of concrete solutions and revolutionised the way we protect concrete buildings from water damage along with its durability. We will discuss more about Crystalline Waterproofing technology, its operation and advantage over existing methods in this blog.

Understanding Crystalline Waterproofing Technology

Crystalline Waterproofing Technology, a state-of-the-art solution in advance concrete solution. It is capable of improving water resistance capabilities in concrete structures. Crystalline waterproofing integrates with the concrete to provide a long- lasting solution, in contrast to traditional waterproofing techniques that rely on surface coatings and membranes. Companies adhering to this method are able to block the water channels and successfully seals the structures from water or moisture infiltration by forming a network of crystals within the Concrete matrix. It has wide application in extensive ranges of areas such as foundations, basements, tunnels, swimming pool, rooftop and many others. Using Crystalline Waterproofing, no additional waterproofing product which reinforce the concrete structures by using its own crystalline concrete admixtures that provides simple and effective waterproofing. Admixtures in Crystalline solutions offer protection against both positive and negative water pressure to concrete the application over surfaces. As a result, reinforced concrete buildings acquire robust waterproofing features against originating from the ground and from the surrounding environment.

How does Crystalline Waterproofing work?

In developing buildings or any other construction works, Crystalline Waterproofing refers to the addition of mixtures to concrete mix. Here are the steps that we follow in our works:

Introduction of the admixture:

While doing any on-site project, whole work takes place in a batch process. At first, Crystalline waterproofing agent is uniformly mixed with concrete in a batch process to ensure uniformity in distribution throughout concrete mass.

Chemical reaction:

After making concrete ready, we at First Choice Ready Mix start to cure, the admixtures start to react with water and unhydrated cement particles inside the concrete. Key objective of this step is to ensure insolubility in crystalline structure to ensure the strength of the concrete

Crystal formation:

As these crystals enlarge, they tend to fill the concrete’s pores, capillaries and micro cracks, obstructing the passageways through liquid solution such as water.

Self- repairing feature:

Crystalline Waterproofing has its own ability to mend itself. Any moisture that penetrates a break in the concrete causes the crystalline compounds to reactive, causing new crystals to grow and close the cracks so continuing the protective effect.

Benefits of Crystalline Waterproofing

In modern days of concrete solutions, addition of crystalline waterproofing has become highly acceptable due to its lifelong protection. Comparing it with surface coating, Crystalline technology itself remains effective throughout the concrete life cycle unlike surface coating that often wears off or gets damaged.

Self- healing feature

Crystalline technology brings self- healing features to the concrete because it tends to grow within capillaries of the concrete after waterproofing. As a result, it successfully fills the existing gaps or cracks in the concrete and protects it from any external factors. We at First Choice Ready Mix adhere Crystalline Waterproofing Technology to maintain waterproofing integrity of the structure for long.

Cost- effective

Implementation of Crystalline waterproofing technique in existing set-up can be cost heavy but it benefits in long-term. Crystalline concrete has the ability to reduce additional maintenance requirements and repair costs.

Environmental resistance

Crystalline waterproofing is the combination of non- toxic and sustainable practices that improves concrete's resistance to several environmental factors. It can be chemical attacks, freeze thaw cycles and corrosion. It was an ideal choice for concrete structures exposed to harsh conditions.

Easy application

We at First Choice Ready Mix, introduces innovation like Crystalline waterproofing technology in the name aquamixcrete of a technology guided by construction professionals with their skills, experience and knowledge. Implementing this technology under sets of guidelines can be easy here that reduces labour costs and project timelines. Alongside that, Crystalline concrete mixed has any further requirements of additional waterproofing which makes it even more easier to use.

Application of Aquamixcrete

Aquamixcrete technology is dynamic by nature and also can be used in wide ranges of application. Here are few examples:

Basements and foundations:

Applying Aquamixcrete in these surfaces can prevent water leakage, keep it dry and bring stability to the foundation

Water tanks and reservoirs:

Implementing Waterproofing Technology able to keep portable water clean and drinkable and also avoid contamination.

Bridges and tunnels:

It helps to protect the surface from water seepage and prevent structural damages. Industrial facilities. It acts as a seal against chemical spills and leaks and makes it lifelong.

Conclusion

Crystalline waterproofing technology brings revolution in modern concrete structures by offering protection and durability. By choosing First Choice Ready Mix, you are investing in a future where your concrete structures are resilient, sustainable and built for long.
