Is ICW Only for Repairing Concrete Cracks?
While ICW can repair cracks, integral crystalline waterproofing can also be brush-applied to virtually any concrete surface to fortify and waterproof concrete and protect against contamination and steel reinforcement corrosion. ICW is ideal for treating concrete basements, foundations, walls, tunnels, bridges, dams, water containment and wastewater treatment facilities, and pools. ICW can also be used as an admixture in new concrete construction. By eliminating the need for external waterproofing membranes, it saves construction time and costs and allows for larger building footprints and blind wall construction. Crystalline waterproofing admixtures help strengthen concrete and minimize future cracking, and they last the lifetime of the structure. Some ICW manufacturers also produce joint design systems, which can be used in conjunction with the admixture to seal new joints and ensure a truly watertight structure.
