DuraTite Foundation
DuraTite Foundation is a permanent waterproofing system for concrete and cementitious substrates. When applied to the surface of concrete or mortar, insoluble crystals are formed and developed in the water bearing capillaries, effectively blocking the passage of water and ensuring permanent water tightness throughout the life of the structure.
DuraTite Foundation, when mixed with water, forms a slurry which is applied directly to concrete, or cement renders to provide permanent waterproofing.
DuraTite Foundation
DuraTite Foundation mixes are applied by brush onto the dampened substrate. Apply the material in 2 coats at right angles, the second coat whilst the first is firm, but ‘green’ – usually 4 – 6 hours after first coat (dependent on temperature).
Protect from weathering, sun, frost and wind for a similar minimum period.
Tanks and other water retaining structures may be filled 72 hours after final DuraTite Foundation application.
Structures subject to water leakage or ingress, must be carefully inspected to determine the cause. Any water present should be cleared away so that a thorough survey can be conducted. Dynamic cracks must be formed into a water-tight elastomeric movement joint .
