Water resistant concrete admixture.
Suitable for use in concrete floors or substructures in contact with damp or wet ground, marine or acidic environments, such as:
Cementaid’s range of waterproofing, gas and radon protection solutions are practical and time-proven to produce truly damp-proof, highly durable concrete which can be used either as stand-alone protection (or part of dual protection systems, when required).
Caltite modified concretes have a successful track record of over 60 years of helping designers, developers and owners waterproof and protect concrete structures, even under the most aggressive and corrosive conditions.
Caltite (Aquapel - 8 Ltrs) is a water resistant concrete admixture.
Aquapel reduces water absorption and transpiration of moisture by 70–80%, compared to normal concrete. Typical test absorption (BS 1881:Pt.122:1983) <1.5%, vs. similar plain concrete ~4%. Gives a slight increase in workability.
