Drybase Crystalline Active Slurry

Drybase Crystalline Active Slurry is a cementitious, ready mixed, in-depth waterproofer for concrete surfaces. It consists of grey Portland cement, specially treated quartz sand and a compound of active chemicals.

When it is applied to a concrete surface the active chemicals combine with the free lime and moisture present in the capillary tract, 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). The concrete and the product will remain vapour permeable.

In addition to waterproofing the structure, the slurry protects concrete against seawater, wastewater, aggressive groundwater and certain chemical solutions. Tested for use in contact with drinking water.
