Waterproofing admixture reduces the permeability of concrete hence making it waterproof.
Concrete waterproofing require waterproofing admixture which consists of water-repellent or
hydrophobic chemicals that are derived from soaps, vegetable oils, fatty acids and petroleum.
These materials when mixed with concrete form a water-repellent layer alongside pores in the
concrete, thus increasing the water resistance. Integral waterproofing offers various advantages
increased durability during backfill, resistance to delamination, and decomposition. The
demand for waterproofing admixtures is from new construction and also from maintenance and
repair activities.
As compared to the conventional waterproofing systems, crystalline waterproofing admixture
offer various advantages such as easy handling and transportation, easy use in powdered or
crystalline form and comparatively cheap. Waterproofing admixtures have various applications
such as foundations, water tanks, underground vaults, sewage and water treatment plants, water
reservoirs, precast components, secondary containment structures, tunnel and subway systems,
