What is the benefit of using
integral waterproofers in concrete?
Integral waterproofer is a
polymeric powder which reacts with the alkalinity of concrete/mortar and forms
a water-repellant compound throughout the mass of the concrete. Since it does
not remain unreacted in the mass of the concrete the strength does not get
reduced and the entire capillary structures can get hydrophobic showing
significant decrease in permeability.
How do you prevent dampness
rising from foundations due to capillary actions from subsoil and destroying
the superstructure?

WATERPROOFING OF TERRACE
Drill holes below plinth level
for grouting of “Polyalk Blok” A & B one after the another 15-20 mm dia
spaced at 15 cms. Vertically and 20 cms horizontally.
How do you discourage masons
from adding more water to mortar concrete?
Tell the mason that adding more
water weakens the structure and it creates weak mortar or concrete. Excess
water can also lead to draining or oozing out of cement & other fines from
gaps and result in honey combs. Instead use of ‘Sunpolicrete NGT’ a workability
improving agent will give them easily workable concrete or mortar.
