Description
Addage Crystalline Integral Waterproofing Admixture is a new-generation integral waterproofing chemical. It produces watertight concrete and strengthens the concrete for a longer lifespan.
Crystalline waterproofing admixture has active chemicals that react with moisture in the concrete to produce a crystalline formation that seals the concrete permanently. Its chemical nature self-heal cracks up to 0.5 mm in the presence of moisture, is resistant to hydrostatic water pressure, reduces drying shrinkage, and protects concrete from sulfate attacks.
By using our crystalline admixture, the effectiveness of the water content of a concrete mix can be improved. It can produce pumpable and high-workability concrete. The color of the waterproofing admixture is cementitious gray and it’s available in powder form.
To get uniform dispersion, add 1 Kg of crystalline admixture with 1 liter of water to create and thin slurry and pour this admixture into the wet concrete. Make sure to mix it well for the best performance.
It is compatible with all types of cement and admixtures making it suitable with most materials. We recommend using 0.8% to 1% of the total cement content for best results. Addage crystalline integral waterproofing admixture is available in 25 Kg bags.
Key Features
Addage Crystalline Integral Waterproofing Admixture is an advanced crystalline waterproofing admixture engineered to deliver permanently watertight concrete.
Unlike conventional waterproofing solutions that work only on the surface, this integral system becomes part of the concrete matrix. Its powerful active chemicals react with moisture and unhydrated cement particles to form insoluble crystalline structures deep inside the concrete.
These crystals block capillary pores and micro-cracks, preventing water penetration while allowing the concrete to breathe. One of its most valuable features is its ability to self-heal hairline cracks in the presence of moisture, ensuring long-term protection and durability.

Dosage Guidelines
The amount of Addage Crystalline Integral Waterproofing Admixture that is used in a particular project will vary based on a variety of factors including type of concrete to be used, conditions for exposure, and required performance.
It will typically be added to the concrete mix while being batched, with all of the contents fully mixed together to create an evenly distributed mixture throughout the concrete.
The Admixture may either be added directly to the dry mix or along with the water that is used to mix the concrete, and it is important to allow enough time to adequately mix the Admixture into the concrete mix prior to using it to achieve optimal waterproofing results from the finished product. When using this Admixture, always refer back to the dosage guidelines set forth by Addage to guarantee the best results.
Product Advantages
Produces permanently watertight concrete by sealing all capillary porosity lines in the concrete. Can self-heal very small cracks in the pour due to the presence of moisture. Provides an outstanding resistance to hydrostatic pressure from water.
Extends the service life of the concrete structure and improves durability. Increases the compression strength of concrete and general performance of this type of material. As an integral part of the concrete material, the Admixture will provide a long term solution to all types of damage due to water.
Will allow concrete to breathe while still preventing water from penetrating the surface of the concrete. The formulation is non-toxic and environmentally safe. Compatible with virtually every type of cement and the majority of other concrete Admixture products.
Packaging
Addage Crystalline Integral Waterproofing Admixture is packaged in moisture resistant 25kg bags that make it easy to handle, transport and store in the field during construction.
Storage & Shelf Life
Store the product in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Bags should be kept sealed until use. When stored under recommended conditions, the admixture maintains its performance and effectiveness for an extended shelf life as specified by the manufacturer.
Safety Precautions
Use protective gloves, a dust mask, and safety goggles while handling the powder. Avoid inhalation of dust and prolonged skin contact. In case of contact with eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Wash hands after use and keep the product away from children and food items.
