What do our typical construction chemicals do?

When our waterproofing solutions are applied to concrete surfaces the active chemicals combine with the free lime and moisture present in the capillary track, to form insoluble crystalline complexes. These crystals block the capillaries and minor shrinkage cracks in the concrete to prevent any further water ingress, even under pressure. However, the layer will still allow the passage of water vapour through the structure allowing the concrete to "breathe".

How do our customers benefit?

We offer:

Underground Structures - In underground constructions we have responded to the demand for sprayed concrete solutions to meet the swing from dry to wet mix applications for tunnelling where single shell structures provide large cost reductions.

Waterproofing - Sealants for all types of concrete, joints and cracks, pipe joints and protection against carbonation and chloride attack.

Leak Sealing & Ground Stabilization - Sealing ultra fine joints and movement cracks plus sealing against high water flow, pipeline repairs, water in masonry, brickwork, cable entries and pipe ducts.

Extreme water ingress and underpinning foundations, soil stabilization and void filling plus bedding of pre-cast concrete and self levelling flooring systems.

General Building - Bonding new and old concrete, flooring mixes for screeding and patching plus general stabilizing and strengthening for ribs, tunnel walls and infrastructures.

Concrete Repairs - Repairs to expansion joints and large cracks in sewers, marine environments, bridges, tunnels plus repair of porous or damaged concrete structure cracks.

We offer a full range of pumps and spray equipment to support the successful application of all our chemicals.
