Uses

  • Sewage treatment and water treatment plants
  • Water tanks
  • Concrete pipes
  • Manholes

Advantages

  • Penetrates concrete, seals capillary tracts & hairline cracks
  • Contains no chlorides
  • Easy to apply, cost effective in use
  • Can be applied to new or old concrete in both interior and exterior locations
  • Suitable above or below ground
  • Surface damage will not affect the system

Additional Information

In the presence of moisture, the active chemical additives in Struseal C514 penetrate concrete and react chemically with free lime to produce insoluble crystals. This crystalline growth reduces concrete porosity by blocking capillaries and filling hairline cracks caused by shrinkage or expansion. Unlike membrane types of waterproofing which only provide a surface barrier, Struseal C514 continues to produce crystals in the presence of water therefore providing long lasting impermeability.
