Hycrete W1000 Concrete Waterproofing Admixture

Hycrete W1000, Hycrete’s patented flagship concrete waterproofing admixture, dramatically reduces water ingress through concrete. Ordinary concrete absorbs water and dissolved salts through its network of pores, leading to water infiltration and corrosion of steel reinforcement. Hycrete W1000 reduces absorption to 1% or lower and forms a protective coating around steel reinforcement. Less water and fewer chlorides are able to penetrate the concrete and the reinforcement has enhanced protection from corrosion.

Hycrete W1000 delivers consistent and reliable performance and is easy to use. Hycrete W1000 is an environmentally-responsible, Cradle to Cradle™ certified product. Using Hycrete W1000 allows owners and builders to have the comfort of knowing their investment/project remains secure against one of nature’s most damaging elements …water.
