WATERPROOF CONCRETE AND DRYTECH RESINS
Concrete is the most widely used material in construction, but if not properly protected, it can become vulnerable to water. Water penetrates through unprotected joints or crossings, cracks or gravel pockets. Without protection, concrete structures are exposed to infiltration, reinforcement degradation and loss of strength. Solutions or information on how to waterproof concrete are often sought when the problem is already present, but classic superficial interventions carried out retrospectively deteriorate over time and fail at critical points.
FROM COATING TO
WATERPROOF CONCRETE
Why apply a waterproofing agent to the structure when you can make the structure itself waterproof?
Drytech waterproof concrete resists hydrostatic pressure throughout the entire life of the structure, without the need for external coatings.
With the White Tank System, slabs, walls and diaphragms become monolithic waterproof elements, across their entire surface and thickness.
The Drytech Tank is a single waterproof concrete structure with details sealed under pressure with expanding acrylic resin: the entire surface and thickness of the basement become waterproof and the structure acts as a barrier against water and radon equal to its own thickness.
DRYFLEX WATERPROOFING RESIN: THE KEY ELEMENT
At the heart of the technology is DRYflex, an elastic, hydro-expansive acrylic waterproofing resin.
During injection, it is as fluid as water, so it easily penetrates cracks, joints and pores. It then expands and catalyses, sealing all construction details throughout the thickness of the basement by pressure. This resin follows the movements of the structure and remains effective for decades.
It is safe, solvent-free, certified for contact with drinking water, and its elasticity allows it to adapt to the movements of the structure. It is also resistant to aggressive water and chemicals, is not classified as a hazardous substance in transport, and the polymerised product can be disposed of as household waste.
Planned CRACKING and HYDROEXPANSIVE RESINS
Reinforced concrete tends to crack due to shrinkage. To control this phenomenon, Drytech has developed the DRYset CI system. This is a plastic profile with an injection duct, designed to concentrate cracks in predetermined points, which are easy to seal with DRYflex expanding resin.
This eliminates the risks associated with random cracks and ensures total impermeability. The system drastically reduces the need for re-casting, increases daily production, and the CI crack inducers can be used as disposable formwork, saving further time and costs.
REAL EXPERIENCES
Drytech waterproof concrete is the ideal solution for foundations, garages, basements, spas, retaining walls, tanks, tunnels and all structures that must withstand hydrostatic pressure.
DRYflex hydro-expansive resins guarantee targeted interventions on joints and cracks, maintaining waterproofing over time. In this way, structures remain protected for the entire useful life of the work, with simple and no demolition maintenance.
ARCHITECTURAL WATERPROOFING OF TERRACES AND SHOWERS
Drytech does not limit itself to waterproofing cellars, garages and swimming pools but, with the Drycoat system, guarantees the waterproofing of terraces, bathrooms, showers and outdoor floors.
Drycoat waterproofing resin for showers continuously coats the shower in all its details, ensuring watertightness.
The waterproofing resin for terraces seals the surface permanently. When renovating existing terraces, it can be applied directly to existing tiles and used as a waterproof, walkable architectural surface, or as a base for new tiles or stone coverings.
Because it adheres to surfaces like a second skin, waterproofing resin for concrete is used to protect and seal bathtubs, pool edges and car parks, thanks to its high mechanical resistance.
