The Science Behind 842 WP
At the heart of 842 WP is the advanced chemistry of Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H). As the concrete cures, 842 WP reacts with the free water in the mix to form a dense, gel-like C-S-H structure. This gel fills microscopic voids within the concrete, creating an impermeable internal barrier that prevents capillary formation and stops water movement.
Unlike traditional surface coatings or membranes that wear out over time, 842 WP works from within the concrete itself, ensuring consistent performance for the life of the structure.
When to Choose CLEVA CRETE 842 WP
842 WP is particularly beneficial in challenging environments where superior waterproofing is critical. Ideal applications include:
- Marine and Water Construction: Provides durable protection against saltwater, freshwater, and tidal exposure.
- Broom Finish Concrete Finishes: Ensures waterproofing without disrupting the textured surface, ideal for slip-resistant applications.
- Areas Exposed to Chemical Water Ingress: Protects against aggressive waterborne chemicals that could degrade traditional concrete.
- Construction on Contaminated Soils: Acts as a barrier to prevent harmful contaminants from infiltrating the structure through the soil.
In these environments, 842 WP not only enhances waterproofing but also increases the concrete’s resistance to degradation, extending the lifespan of the structure.
How 842 WP Saves Time and Resources
By incorporating 842 WP directly into the concrete mix, builders can skip the time-consuming process of applying external waterproofing systems. This streamlined approach not only speeds up project timelines but also reduces material costs, making it a cost-effective choice for waterproofing.
