PQ-200 GREY CRYSTALLINE-5 GAL PAIL

Permaquik® Crystalline products are capillary waterproofing formulations comprised of proprietary blends of chemicals, quartz sand and cement. The chemicals contained in the crystalline waterproofing materials require the presence of moisture to set off a chemical reaction from within the matrix of the concrete. When combined with "free lime," these chemicals form long chained complexes, which crystallize and penetrate deep into the capillaries of the concrete eliminating the migration of water. Independent tests show penetration up to 50mm in 28 days. The crystalline process is continuous as long as moisture is present in the concrete, significantly reducing the concrete's natural porosity by filling small voids and cracks caused by shrinkage. The concrete is still able to breathe as the crystalline does not create a vapor barrier. If no moisture is present, the crystals will lie dormant until moisture reappears and then will reactivate to seal the area of the leakage. Individual components include Permaquik® 131 Crack Sealant, Permaquik® Super 200, Permaquik® Mortar 300 and Permaquik® 400 for brick masonry and stone walls.

• Can be used on foundation walls and floor slabs, suspended or in-ground pools, and protect against spalling due to oil, salt and freeze/thaw action in parking garage floor applications.
• Can be applied to inside or outside surfaces, to integrate and combine with the concrete from within forming a barrier that cannot easily be damaged. No special below-grade protecion is necessary.
• Can be applied to wet surfaces, unlike most asphaltic, bitumen or solvent-based resin systems.
