Advanced Crystalline Waterproofing TechnologyCryston IW-CDA leverages crystalline technology, ensuring internal waterproofing within concrete. The additive reacts with moisture, forming crystals that block capillaries and micro-cracks, providing long-lasting protection against water ingress.
Easy Integration in ConstructionThe product's powder form allows seamless mixing with concrete during batching. It creates a smooth and waterproof interior and exterior concrete surface, eliminating the need for external membranes or coatings.
FAQ's of Cryston IW-CDA Crystalline Waterproofing System Integral Additive:
Q: How is Cryston IW-CDA applied in concrete construction?
A: Cryston IW-CDA is mixed directly with concrete during batching. The 25 kg grey powder is added to the concrete mix, ensuring homogeneous distribution for uniform waterproofing throughout the structure.
Q: What are the main advantages of using Cryston IW-CDA for waterproofing?
A: Its crystalline technology internally seals concrete by forming non-soluble crystals that block water movement, providing dual benefits-enhanced durability and resistance to water ingress without requiring external waterproofing layers.
Q: When should Cryston IW-CDA be incorporated into the construction process?
A: Cryston IW-CDA should be mixed with concrete during the initial batching phase, ideally before pouring. This ensures the integral waterproofing system activates within the setting concrete.
Q: Where can Cryston IW-CDA be used in construction projects?
A: It is suitable for any concrete-based structure requiring waterproofing, such as basements, water tanks, retaining walls, and foundations. The additive is distributed and supplied across India to meet diverse construction needs.
Q: What is the shelf life of Cryston IW-CDA, and how should it be stored?
A: Cryston IW-CDA has a shelf life of 12 months. It should be stored in a dry, cool environment, in tightly closed containers or bags to maintain its quality and efficacy.
Q: What is the process behind Cryston IW-CDA's waterproofing capability?
A: The additive's chemical composition reacts with moisture in fresh concrete, producing insoluble crystals that occupy pores and micro-cracks, effectively blocking the path of water through the concrete matrix.
Q: What benefits does Cryston IW-CDA offer to contractors and service providers in India?
A: It streamlines waterproofing applications, reduces labor and material costs for external treatments, and is widely available through distributors, suppliers, and manufacturers, ensuring reliable procurement and application support across India.
