Powdercoat Crystalline capillary waterproofing for concrete substrates

Crystalline capillary waterproofing for concrete substrates
Technical Data Sheet

Uses
Powdercoat is an economical cementitious coating system designed for waterproofing concrete against positive or
negative hydrostatic water pressure in a wide variety of structures such as:
- 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

Description
Powdercoat crystalline capillary waterproofing system is a blend of proprietary Portland cements, quartz aggregates
and specialized chemicals. In the presence of moisture, the active chemical additives in Powdercoat 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, Powdercoat continues to produce crystals in the presence
of water therefore providing long lasting impermeability.
