Crystalline Powder Waterproof

The crystalline waterproof powder (CPW™ code) effectively penetrates the capillary tubes within the concrete, resulting in enhanced sealing and chemical resistance. The primary mechanism behind this type of powder insulation, as implied by its name, is the infiltration of active crystals into the concrete matrix. By combining cement, silica, and various chemicals, the crystallizers offer a highly effective solution for long-lasting chemical sealing and safeguarding of concrete structures.


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This product is known for its cost-effectiveness and effectiveness in sealing concrete. It combines a penetrating and crystallizing powder with water to create a highly adhesive polymer slurry within the concrete. This slurry significantly enhances the clay resistance and chemical attack resistance of the concrete. Through its osmotic properties, the crystallizing powders, when mixed with water, penetrate the concrete pores and provide a comprehensive seal in all directions. Over time, white, needle-shaped crystals form due to the presence of water, metal oxides, and calcium oxide in the concrete. These crystals fill any voids, including those caused by shrinkage or surface damage, effectively sealing the concrete. The materials within the concrete regain their functionality once water is reintroduced after a period of dryness. Preliminary observations indicate that the effects of these materials can reach depths of up to one meter within the concrete. Consequently, surface grooves or partial damage to the concrete will not hinder the sealing operation since the penetrating crystalline material has already deeply infiltrated the concrete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the use of concrete hardener useful in corrosive and sulfate environments?

From the combination of penetrating and crystallizing powder in water, a very strong polymer slurry with high adhesion is created in concrete, which increases the clay resistance of concrete as well as resistance to chemical attacks, which increases its use in sulfate environments.

How does concrete hardener powder make concrete waterproof?

Due to the osmotic property, the crystallizing powders along with water penetrate into the pores of the concrete and seal the concrete by moving in all directions. With the presence of water and metal oxides and calcium oxide in concrete, white and needle-shaped crystals grow with the passage of time and fill all the holes in the concrete and the joints caused by shrinkage and finally seal the concrete.

What is the mechanism of concrete penetrating and crystallizing powder?

The mechanism of penetrating powder insulation is based on the penetration of active radical crystals inside the concrete texture.

What is a good feature of active penetrating insulation?

One of the characteristics of active penetrating insulation is its economy, which can save costs.

What is the main application of concrete penetrating powder?

Due to the fact that crystallizers consist of three components, cement, silica and several chemicals, it is one of the most suitable options for sealing surfaces and chemical and permanent protection of concrete.

How deep does penetrating and crystallizing powder in water penetrate into concrete?

The effect of these materials has been seen up to a depth of one meter in concrete.

If there are cracks or scratches on the concrete surface, will there be a problem with sealing?

Accordingly, if a wound is created on the surface of the concrete or a part of its surface is removed for any reason, it will not create a problem in the sealing operation; Because the crystalline material has penetrated deep into the concrete and there will be no disturbance in this regard if a part of it is torn off.

What is the value of buying concrete and crystal penetrating powder?

This product is based on polymer chemistry and is produced in bulk in a petrochemical plant, and this product can be obtained at a reasonable price. For more information, refer to the experts of Afzir Company.
