Early Age Sealing Capacity of Structural Mortar with Integral Crystalline Waterproofing Admixture

Early Age Sealing Capacity of Structural Mortar with Integral Crystalline Waterproofing Admixture

Crystalline admixtures embedded in concrete may react in the presence of water and generate thin crystals able to fill pores, capillaries and micro-cracks. Once the concrete has dried, the crystalline chemicals sit dormant until another dose of water starts the crystallization again. The research ai...
