FIBSEAL CRYSTAL

Fibseal Crystal cementitious capillary waterproofing systems provides a permanent solution to leakage, seepage or ingress of water and moisture in concrete by sealing capillaries and shrinkage cracks in both the positive and negative side of the structure. The waterproofing effects is provided by reaction of different chemical components in Fibseal Crystal within the matrix of the concrete structure forming crystallization products that seal the capillaries and shrinkage cracks present. The reaction is osmotic in nature in the presence of moisture and free lime and insoluble crystals formed penetrate deep into the capillary structure and shrinkage cracks and blocks the passage of water while still permitting the transmission of water vapor and allowing the concrete structure to breath and eliminating water pressure build up.

FACTS

AREAS OF APPLICATION

Fibseal Crystal is recommended for use in any concrete or block structure where it is required to keep water in or out of the structure. Because it can be applied on either the positive side (side in contact with water) or the negative side (side not in contact with water), it allows for all application requiring waterproofing.

  • Water retaining structures
  • Concrete roof decks
  • Swimming pools
  • Basements
  • Septic tanks
  • Balconies
  • Elevator Shafts
  • Planter boxes
  • Bathroom and toilets
  • Tunnels
  • Concrete pipes
  • Containment walls

ADVANTAGE

  • Becomes an integral part of the concrete structures instead of merely being a surface coating or membrane that can damage or delaminate.
  • Penetrates deep into the capillary tracks and shrinkage cracks and can seal both the positive and negative side of the concrete structure.
  • Un-reacted chemicals remain active and will react in contact with water providing additional protection against leakage.
  • Protects against water borne corrosive chemicals that can cause corrosion of reinforcement.
  • Does not require special protection during back filling, placement of reinforcement or other procedures necessary to protect a surface type waterproofing systems.
