Formdex Admix is a chemical admixture in powdered form used in the waterproofing and protection of concrete structures.
Formdex Admix consists of Portland cement, fine treated silica sand and various active proprietary chemicals.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Formdex Admix is added to the concrete mix at the time of batching. The active chemicals in Formdex Admix when combined with moisture in concrete and with the by-products of cement hydration to cause a catalytic reaction, which generates a non-soluble crystalline formation filling the naturally occurring pores and voids in concrete. These crystals growth will permanently block the pathways for water even under high hydrostatic conditions.
Advantages:
• Becomes an integral part of the concrete
• Waterproofing is permanent
• Resists high hydrostatic pressure from either positive or negative side of concrete
• Self-seal hair-line cracks up to 0.6mm
• Allows concrete to breathe
• Impervious to physical damage and deterioration
• Reduces construction scheduling time
• Non toxic
