BridgeDECK Waterproofing Agent is engineered for critical infrastructure projects. It penetrates concrete to create a subsurface barrier against water and contaminants like chloride ions. The system forms a gel complex within the concrete, filling cracks, pores, and capillaries. This vapor-permeable gel can handle thermal stress and remains reactive over time, providing self-repairing properties for existing cracks up to 5/64” (2.0 mm) and future cracks up to 1/64” (0.4 mm).

BridgeDECK PROtectant Plus provides the next level replacement traditional waterproofing methods, specifically for DOT road and bridge applications. The product penetrates concrete, forming a subsurface barrier that prevents water and contaminants, such as chloride ions, from entering. Upon contact with water, it reacts with the concrete's calcium to create a gel that fills cracks, pores, and capillaries. This gel remains vapor-permeable and can accommodate thermal stress. The product remains active, offering self-repairing capabilities for existing cracks up to 1/16” (1.5 mm) and future cracks up to 1/128” (0.3 mm).

BridgeDECK PROtectant offers a replacement for traditional waterproofing products. The product penetrates concrete, forming a subsurface barrier that blocks water and contaminants like chloride ions. Upon exposure to water, it reacts with the concrete's calcium to form a gel that fills cracks, pores, and capillaries. This gel remains vapor-permeable and is capable of handling thermal stress. The product stays active, providing self-repairing properties for existing cracks up to 1/32” (1.0 mm) in width.

BridgeDECK CorrosionBLOK is engineered for optimal protection, particularly where corrosion is threatening infrastructure. It penetrates concrete to form a protective barrier around steel reinforcement, preventing water, oxygen, and chloride ions from causing corrosion. The product reacts with the alkaline environment in concrete to create a passive film on the steel surface, reducing corrosion rates and extending the structure's service life.
The History of BridgeDECK
-
Alchemco’s BridgeDeck waterproofing products were featured in a study done by the DOT Federal HIghway Administration. Utilizing enzyme modified subsurface waterproofing technology, BridgeDeck provides a long term solution that protects bridges from all angles—whether vertical, horizontal, or underneath.
BridgeDeck’s line requires a single spray application which is activated by water to form a flexible, vapor-permeable membrane within the concrete structure. This membrane is an undamageable barrier, protecting both existing and future cracks. With fast application and minimal closure times, projects are completed quickly, reducing traffic disruptions.

Since Alchemco acquired this technology in 2018, more states have relied on BridgeDeck to protect their infrastructure.
Beginning in 2005, the New Jersey Department of Transportation recently completed the protection of 27 bridges, covering over 4 million square feet using BridgeDeck.

In 2023, BridgeDeck Waterproofing Agent won the Innovative Product Award at the World of Concrete Convention in Las Vegas, taking both the ‘Experts' Choice’ and ‘Industry Choice’ awards.
1981
U.S. Department of Transportation
Federal Highway Administration Testing
BridgeDeck’s subsurface technology was featured in a 3-year study conducted by the U.S. DOT and Federal Highway Administration in 1981. The study, Low Cost Bridge Deck Surface Treatment, aimed to provide state DOTs with reliable insights into which new products were effective.
Over 100 concrete sealers and penetrants were put through a series of tests, and from this large pool, the top five products were selected to participate in a 5-month field study, offering a deeper look at their real-world performance.
The study results revealed that subsurface-based products outperformed expectations, consistently ranking first or second in every test conducted on the contenders.
