EAMICRETE IM 100

Internal Membrane and Integral Hydrophobic Waterproofing Concrete Admixture

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

EAMICRETE IM 100 is an integral crystalline waterproofing concrete admixture that is formulated to produce highly durable waterproofing concrete with improved physical and mechanical properties. EAMICRETE IM 100 active ingredients react in the presence of moisture in concrete with the
by-products of cement hydration, creating a non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary inside the concrete. This newly formed crystalline internal structure reduces concrete permeability thus preventing water and soluble salts from penetrating from all directions.

EAMICRETE IM 100 will protect concrete and steel reinforcement from deterioration. If there is risk of new crack formation after concrete hardening due to settlement or shrinkage, the incoming water through this new crack will start the crystallization process again and new crystals formations are formed filling the new crack introducing a live waterproofing barrier system.

EAMICRETE IM 100 is formulated on a blend of synthetic polymers that are manufactured under controlled consistent quality procedures.
