Seamless Integral WaterproofingCryston Coat Plus works from within concrete to deliver effective, long-lasting waterproofing. By catalyzing the formation of crystalline structures, it permanently blocks the pathways for water penetration, making it ideal for both new builds and repairs. Its formulation is compatible with a wide temperature range and suits various construction environments.
Superior Strength And SafetyAchieving compressive strengths above 40 MPa, Cryston Coat Plus not only waterproofs but also enhances the structural integrity of concrete. Free from harmful chemicals such as VOCs and chlorides, and being entirely non-toxic, it is safe for use in sensitive projects, including water storage and residential applications.
Simple Application & Lasting ResultsThis integral waterproofing additive requires no special handling or preparation. Simply dose it into your concrete at 1-2% of the cement weight and mix uniformly for optimal results. Its formulation does not alter the setting time and offers excellent scrubbing resistance, ensuring easy maintenance and enduring protection.
FAQ's of Cryston Coat Plus Crystalline Waterproofing System Integral Additive:
Q: How should Cryston Coat Plus be used in concrete preparation?
A: Cryston Coat Plus should be dosed at 1-2% by weight of cement. Add the required amount to the concrete mix and blend thoroughly to ensure uniform distribution throughout the mixture before pouring.
Q: What is the main benefit of using Cryston Coat Plus as a waterproofing additive?
A: The primary benefit is integral waterproofing; Cryston Coat Plus forms crystalline structures inside the concrete, sealing micro-cracks and capillaries to permanently block water ingress while enhancing compressive strength.
Q: When should Cryston Coat Plus be applied during the construction process?
A: It should be incorporated directly during the concrete mixing stage, prior to placement. This ensures the additive is thoroughly distributed within the concrete matrix for effective performance.
Q: Where can Cryston Coat Plus be applied?
A: Cryston Coat Plus is suitable for use in any concrete or plastered surface, including basements, water tanks, foundations, terraces, and bathrooms, wherever robust waterproofing is required.
Q: What is the recommended process for applying Cryston Coat Plus to achieve optimal results?
A: Measure 1-2% of Cryston Coat Plus powder per weight of cement to be used. Mix it dry with cement, then proceed with the standard concrete mixing process, ensuring even distribution throughout the matrix.
Q: Does Cryston Coat Plus affect the setting time or quality of concrete?
A: No, Cryston Coat Plus does not significantly alter the setting time of concrete, and it actually improves overall compressive strength and durability, while maintaining compatibility with both OPC and PPC cements.
