EAMICRETE IM 200
Internal Membrane and Integral Hydrophobic Waterproofing Concrete Admixture.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
EAMICRETE IM 200 is an integral crystalline
waterproofing concrete admixture that is formulated
to produce highly durable waterproofing concrete
with improved physical and mechanical properties.
EAMICRETE IM 200 active ingredients react in the
presence of moisture in concrete with the
by-products of cement hydration, creating a nonsoluble
crystalline formation throughout the pores
and capillary inside the concrete. This newly formed
crystalline internal structure reduces concrete
permeability thus blocking & preventing water and
soluble salts from penetrating from all directions.
EAMICRETE IM 200 will protect concrete and steel
reinforcement from deterioration.
If there is risk of new crack formation after concrete
hardening due to settlement or shrinkage, the
incoming water through this new crack will start the
crystallization process again and new crystals
formations are formed filling the new crack
introducing a live waterproofing barrier system.
EAMICRETE IM 200 is formulated on a blend of
synthetic polymers that are manufactured under
controlled consistent quality procedures.
