FOR MID-RANGE WATERPROOF CONCRETE

Hycrete W400 is a mid-range concrete waterproofing admixture that 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 W400 reduces absorption 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 W400 delivers consistent and reliable performance and is easy to use. Hycrete W400 is an environmentallyresponsible, Cradle to CradleTM certified product. Using Hycrete W400 allows owners and builders to have the comfort of knowing they have taken appropriate measures to ensure their concrete has improved resistance to one of nature’s most damaging elements …water.
