Hycrete X1000 Dual-Action Corrosion Inhibitor and Waterproofing Concrete Admixture in Non-Air Concrete Mixes

Hycrete X1000 is a patented dual action corrosion-inhibiting and waterproofing concrete admixture that delivers industry leading performance. Hycrete X1000 protects concrete and steel in two ways:

a) Keeps water and corrosive agents out, reducing absorption to an industry low compared to control concrete.

b) Protects steel by forming a protective passivating layer on the surface of reinforcement steel that dramatically reduces corrosion initiation and propagation.

Hycrete X1000 admixture in concrete provides an effective and robust barrier against water and chloride ingress that does not lose performance over time and never requires reapplication. Concrete treated with X1000 outperforms High Performance Concrete (HPC) mixes that include silica fume, fly ash, slag and calcium nitrite corrosion inhibitors.
