Do the crystals bond themselves into the concrete matrix?
No the crystals do not bond themselves to the concrete substrate. The term that should be employed other than bonding is the PaviX CCC100 crystals occupy the voids and capillaries of the concrete substrate. Please keep in mind the PaviX CCC100 crystals are activated by the presents of moisture which can increase their size up to sixteen times when compared to their dry or dehydrated state. The crystals will last for the life of the concrete substrate, they are intertwined within the matrix, and they will not degrade.
