D005 CAPISEAL ADMIX (formerly Duraconcrist)

Features: Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure from either positive or negative surface of the concrete slab. Becomes an integral part of the concrete. Highly resistant to aggressive chemicals. Can seal hairline cracks up to 0.4 mm, and it is permanent. Allows concrete to breathe. Non-toxic i.e. certified for potable water use and VOC Free. Added to the concrete at time of batching and therefore is not subject to climatic restraints. Reduces construction scheduling time and does not need skilled workmanship. Enhances concrete durability. Qualifies as a Permeability Reducing Admixture – Hydrostatic Conditions (PRAH) owing to its pore blocking mechanism, water resistance and self-sealing properties. Does not require any protection or suffer from punctures like sheet/ liquid membranes thereby saving costs along with costs of maintenance and repair. Exceeds requirements of ASTM C494-S (Specific Performance Admixtures)

Short Description:

Cementitious crystalline integral capillary waterproofing additive for concrete

Description:

CAPISEAL(R) ADMIX is a state-of-the-art integral crystalline waterproofing admixture
available in dry mix powder form. The chemistry within the CAPISEALTM ADMIX
reacts with moisture and free lime in the concrete, creating millions of waterinsoluble
nano-crystalline fibers, which fill the pores, capillary tracts and minor
shrinkage cracks within the concrete. Passage of water through the concrete, either
from the positive or negative water pressure side is permanently blocked and the
reinforcement is protected from corrosion. The CAPISEALTM ADMIX chemicals
remain an integral part of the concrete for the life of the structure, always reactivating
whenever exposed to moisture. CAPISEALTM ADMIX can seal static
cracks up to 0.4 mm, CAPISEALTM ADMIX waterproofing chemicals start reacting
immediately. However, it may require up to several weeks to reach its maximum
waterproofing capability. Environmental factors such as ambient temperature,
density of concrete, moisture and weather conditions all can affect the timing of the
sealing process.
