New Age Cement Based Crystalline Waterproofing System from Chowgule

Cement Based Crystalline Waterproofing System
Captain Bond's cyrstalline system is a new age and unique cement based crystalline waterproofing system that offers waterproofing solutions to both new and old structures. Basements, water bodies, water tanks, terraces, toilets, balconies are amongst some of the areas that can be effectively treated with this system.

Water seepage in mineral substrates, leads to carbonation and this is a natural enemy to the durability of any structure. Captain Bond's crystalline system, which can be applied both from the positive and negative sides, uses its crystalline properties to effectively arrest this process.

How does crystallization in waterproofing work? On application, the product penetrates into the pre – dampened and water saturated substrate, using the water as a medium and then through the process of osmosis forms silicate crystals deep in the pores, capillaries and voids in the substrate. Once installed, this is not a surface coating but an impregnation system that has become an integral part of the substrate.

How is the Captain Bond's crystalline system unique? When compared with other cement based crystalline waterproofing systems, the Captain Bond's crystalline system is a combination of three Captain Bond products: CrystalFlex 2K SuperStrong powder, AcryFlex 2K ExtraStrong powder, and liquid and the BondFlex SuperStrong. The most unique characteristic is that the system is not based on Sodium Silicate and therefore is not a rigid system. The Captain Bond's crystalline system uses a carboxylated SBR latex as one of its components. Due to this, it has flexibility and elasticity and can bridge dynamic cracks up to 2 mm. Further, once applied it self cures and does not require to be water cured. Sodium Silicate based system requires to be water cured for 4 – 6 days. This is the duration for the crystalline process to be completed. Another unique feature is that it is alkaline and has a pH value of 11.5 which makes it most compatible with concrete whose pH is around 12. It passes the water portability tests for drinking water and therefore can be installed without a cement screed protection in drinking water tanks.
