DRYMIX ULTRA

DRYMIX ULTRA is a water-based liquid chemical admixture with crystallizing action that waterproofs, protects and increases the durability of concrete works. The latter depends significantly on the microstructural properties of concrete, such as porosity and pore size, through which aggressive gases and liquids can penetrate, causing degradation. The active chemical components of DRYMIX ULTRA react with moisture and hydration by-products of cement to form, within the capillary porosity, an insoluble crystalline complex that becomes an integral part of the cement matrix and acts as an impermeable barrier against the penetration of water and chemicals from any direction. The development of the crystalline formation is reactivated over time in the presence of new water or moisture infiltration and is capable of sealing cracks up to 0.5 mm by exerting a self-healing action, which is also fundamental, along with the considerable reduction in permeability, for increasing the service life of concrete structures.

• Waterproofs the concrete mass and protects it permanently

• Resists high hydrostatic pressures, both positive and negative • Resists continuous chemical attacks

• Waterproofs from any direction (for pH between 3 and 11)

• Heals cracks up to 0.5 mm

• It is permanent and reactivates in the presence of moisture

• It is compatible with all types of cement

• Does not interact with other additives normally used in concrete

• Does not alter the performance of fresh concrete

• Does not alter setting times

• Does not change the rheological characteristics of concrete

• It maintains the workability of fresh concrete for up to 90 min.

• Ensures traceability in compliance with Technical Standards for Construction (NTC) and Special Specifications, thanks to the automated loading of the product in the concrete batching plant

• It is certified for use in contact with drinking water

DRYMIX ULTRA is an ecological product that uses cement chemistry to perform its function, thus allowing for future recycling and avoiding the use of coating materials that would require high disposal costs. DRYMIX ULTRA therefore contributes to acquiring LEED credits.

The optimal dosage of DRYMIX ULTRA is 1 liter per 100 kg of cement/binder.
