KRYSTALINE Add1 main features

Krystaline Add1 is a next generation, very low dosage crystalline admixture.
Available in predosed 1 kg water soluble bags to be added directly to the concrete mix.
Excellent cost-performance ratio.
the best option for most large-scale projects.
Increases the quality of concrete, greatly reducing shrinkage cracks and improving its appearance.

Waterproofs and improves the durability of concrete using hydrophilic, hydration enhancing, crystalline technology.

Concrete is a naturally porous material, with microcracks, voids, pores and capillaries that are formed mainly in the early stages of curing. The more interconnection between these holes, the more permeable the concrete is and the more prone to damage caused by the entry of water and corrosive agents. However, Krystaline Add1 technology virtually eliminates porosity of the concrete and many of its inherent weaknesses, which increases durability.
Krystaline Add1 acts by hydrophilic crystallization. Through a catalytic process it creates a chemical reaction between the unhydrated cement particles and water, creating additional insoluble crystalline hydration which fill the concrete’s capillary network. These crystal deposits become an integral part of the hydrated paste. The resulting concrete has a significantly greater ability to autogenously heal cracks and resist the penetration of water under hydrostatic pressure.

Krystaline Add1 is a dry powder that is added directly to the concrete during mixing. The dosage rate is 1 kg per m³ of concrete. Reduce the water component by approximately 5% to achieve equal slumps on most mix designs (subject to mix design and raw material components). Even though the concrete will look less wet than most concrete mixes, it will provide an increased workability resulting in increased productivity.
Add Krystaline Add1 directly during mixing. Prior testing is recommended.
