RANSKRYST-ADMIX
(Integral Waterproofing Admixture-Crystalline Based)
OVERVIEW
RANSKRYST-ADMIX is an integral waterproofing compound in powder form which acts by crystallization method to seal capillaries in concretes and mortars. RANSKRYST-ADMIX is added to the concrete or mortar at the time of batching. RANSKRYST-ADMIX is a free flowing powder, composed of ordinary Portland cement, selected treated fillers and proprietary active chemical ingredients. In concrete the active ingredients of RANSKRYST-ADMIX react with the products of cement hydration in presence of moisture to activate catalytic reaction which produces non-soluble crystalline formations which block the capillaries effectively and permanently.
PROPERTIES
- RANSKRYST-ADMIX becomes an integral part of the concrete and waterproofs it.
- Once used as an integral water proofer RANSKRYST-ADMIX resists hydrostatic pressures from both positive and negative sides of the structure.
- This waterproofing system allows the concrete to breathe normally, thereby keeping the concrete healthy for ages.
- Simple dosing into the concrete batching mixers as there is no separate application cost involved.
- RANSKRYST-ADMIX works by crystallization process. Unlike other integral water proofers this is not a mere plasticizing admixture hence it ensures good waterproofing success during concreting itself.
- RANSKRYST-ADMIX does not alter the setting time of the cement in any way. This can be used in any season irrespective of temperature conditions which are within recommendation of the concreting practice codes.
- RANSKRYST-ADMIX is alkaline in nature hence it preserves the alkaline nature of concrete surrounding the reinforcing steel.
AREA OF USE
RANSKRYST-ADMIX is used effectively as an integral waterproofing compound in concrete during construction of all water retaining structures, underground and overhead water tanks, swimming pools, water treatment plants, basements, podium slabs, roof slabs and all RCC members around toilets and bathrooms in a building structure. It is also used as integral waterproofing compound in mortars which go as renderings on all these structures. Since leakages corrode the reinforcing steel in RCC structures thereby reducing the life of structure itself, it is a good to use a good integral waterproofing compound in all concrete produced for use in RCC structures.
HEALTHY & SAFETY
