Confused about how to appropriately specify integral concrete waterproofing? You are not alone if you find this topic confusing. While integral concrete waterproofing admixtures have been effectively used since their introduction in the 1960s, clear-cut standards have been traditionally lacking. Unfortunately, provided information can be hard to interpret, or even misleading if unequipped with a strong concrete chemistry background, an advanced understanding of concrete’s complex rheology, and a clear understanding of how water interacts with hardened concrete. The guide in our latest blog should help clear up some of the confusion. https://lnkd.in/eHvq9HKM

Construction companies and builders throughout the industry increasingly embrace LEED to achieve better sustainability, better longevity, and various regulatory advantages for their projects. Designed to improve both efficiency and eco-friendliness in modern building practices, LEED certification encompasses advanced energy modeling, lifecycle assessments, green construction methods, and high-performance materials. Hycrete is the ultimate concrete protection strategy engineered to achieve better sustainability – especially when compared to conventional applied membranes. Our innovative admixtures will extend the life of virtually any structure and allow the post-life concrete to be recycled, all while earning valuable LEED credits for your project. https://lnkd.in/ejBida3K

For decades, conventional concrete with outmoded waterproofing/corrosion protection have cost the industry substantial time and environmental resources. Adhered membranes are the perfect example, adding significant costs, complexity, and material usage to any project while delivering inconsistent long-term results. Builders have typically turned to enhanced concrete materials in response to the challenges of installed membranes. Unfortunately, ineffective hydrophilic crystalline admixtures have been pushed throughout the industry, which offer little or no absorption reduction. Functionally, hydrophilic admixtures bring more water into the concrete to promote crystal growth, so long-term corrosion protection is dubious at best. In contrast, Hycrete is a hydrophobic admixture that blocks water from getting through in the first place. Furthermore, Hycrete has undergone rigorous scientific testing and has proven itself in a wide range of real-world use cases. https://lnkd.in/euzErGYu
