High-end crystalline waterproofing is now widely accepted in the developed world as a superior way to waterproof and protect concrete structures. The paradigm shift among designers and specifiers away from traditional membrane solutions towards crystalline slurry was slow and hard-fought.
Mr. Jozef Van Beeck, Director International Sales & Marketing, inspecting KCRC works in Hong Kong
Another paradigm shift is happening at a much faster rate, for obvious reasons: from crystalline slurry to crystalline admixtures - - After the decision has been made to use a crystalline system, it is easy to understand the advantage of dosing it directly into the concrete mix. The benefits are obvious: no more waterproofing treatment needs to be done, i.e. no loss of time due to bad weather, no extra preparations and allowance for waterproofing contractors to come in, no more failures due to faulty workmanship, no more need for protection boards and screeds etc. and, as a result, significant cost savings.
