Regular concrete absorbs water and anything dissolved in it. Hycrete’s admixtures transform regular concrete into hydrophobic concrete. By reacting with metallic ions, Hycrete’s admixtures form permanent barriers within concrete and coat steel rebar, stopping the transmission of water and chlorides through concrete and protecting reinforcement. The result is a durable, permanent solution for concrete construction requiring less maintenance. Go> Back< |

" ...quality control and uniformity..."
"The precast lent quality control and uniformity on a huge project that would have been a challenge for local masons to accomplish in hand-laid brick. There is complete consistency as you walk around the building." - Mark Farmer, Cannon Design. Wright-Patt HPW
