Integral Waterproofing and Corrosion Protection Solutions For Concrete Construction

Delivering Concrete Solutions
Integral waterproofing and

corrosion protection solutions
for concrete construction
Hycrete’s innovative technology delivers water-tight
concrete construction, cost savings, and reduced
construction time, all with a greener solution.
Waterproof Construction,
Membrane-Free
Technologically advanced admixtures combined
with comprehensive service ensure long-term,
membrane-free, water-tight construction
Water Absorption Reduction
Lower Construction Costs Hycrete admixtures consistently exceed the benchmark for
Typical savings are 40% lower installed cost than a traditional membrane hydrophobic concrete, which is less than 1% water absorption
approach. 3.0
Construction Time Savings 2.0

No membrane means entire steps in the construction process are
Hydrophobic
eliminated, shortening the critical path. The vulnerabilities to weather, acceptability range
damage by other trades, and extra excavation disappear. Days, weeks or 1.0
even months of overhead are saved.

Best-in-Class Warranty Growth Emulsion
Through an available 10-year warranty, Hycrete solutions ensure that your 6 Gallons
structure remains water-tight. If it leaks, we fix it.
Comprehensive Field Technical Services

Hycrete’s trained field technicians fully service each warranted project.
Hycrete makes sure it gets done right for you every time, from planning
to pour, and beyond.
More Durable Structures Corrosion Performance

Unparalleled corrosion resistance that can help Hycrete admixtures provide superior corrosion resistance
to calcium nitrite and the control, both in cracked and
dramatically extend the life of your structure uncracked concrete specimens.

Not only does Hycrete technology reduce water absorption, it even Hycrete
protects the steel reinforcement. Hycrete admixtures reduce corrosion

reducing replacement costs.
In the Concrete for the Life of the Structure 0.2
Hycrete admixtures react with the concrete mix forming a permanent

chemical bond. The molecule does not break down. It won’t leach out. No 0.04 0.015

Waterproof and Inhibit Corrosion
Hycrete’s products start as environmentally friendly, Cradle to CradleTM
certified water soluble admixtures. When dosed into concrete, the
Hycrete molecule chemically transforms, becoming a water-insoluble
1
polymer. That polymer plugs pores in the concrete, keeping water out
and blocking the diffusion of corrosive ions through the concrete. It also
bonds to the surface of steel reinforcement, creating a protective layer
that shields the rebar from corrosion. Finally, Hycrete’s technology self- 2
heals cracks.

All together, the Hycrete molecule keeps water out of the concrete and
corrosive agents away from the steel.

Hycrete’s Dedication to Field Services Makes the Difference
Hycrete’s hydrophobic admixtures deliver waterproof concrete. But waterproof concrete is not
waterproof construction. That requires a systems approach – Hycrete System.
Hycrete gets involved in the design phase, mix design, and preconstruction reviews to ensure the
project is planned right. Before pours, Hycrete teams inspect the site and monitor batch plants.
Hycrete teams are onsite during the pours. Finally, Hycrete teams follow up afterwards to address
cracks; all concrete cracks, and Hycrete fixes them.
Hycrete can offer a water-tight structure that is built to last. If it leaks, we fix it. That’s our warranty,
and there’s just one company you have to call.
Applications
Cast in place walls (1 & 2-sided forms) Parking structures Structural stairs Elevator pits
Shotcrete walls Concrete foundations Temporary roofs Tunnels
Foundation walls Water features Green roofs Outdoor balconies
Cast in place structural slabs Basements Podium decks Potable water tanks
Slabs on grade
Build to Last
The most sustainable structure is the one you don’t have to rebuild. Make your current project last longer. Hycrete admixtures
and solutions provide more durable waterproofing approaches, and more durable structures.
Cradle to Cradle From the Start

The Cradle to Cradle philosophy embraces a fundamental change in our disposable society -
from cradle to grave to Cradle to Cradle. Sustainable philosophies are at the core of Hycrete’s
business practices and our technology. In fact, Hycrete admixtures were the very first Cradle to
Cradle certified building materials.
Using Hycrete May Contribute to LEED Credits

Innovation in Design (ID Credit 1)
“Membrane-Free Construction”
Hycrete materials offer the opportunity to eliminate the use of membranes, providing substantial reduction in jobsite material
used, pollutants emitted, non-recyclables consumed, and labor used.
Based solely on the use of Hycrete System, this Innovation In Design credit has been successfully submitted and approved by
the USGBC in previous projects.
Materials and Resources (MR Credit 4.1/4.2)

Recycled Content
The value of recycled materials, 50% of pre- and 100% of post-consumer, counts towards this credit. Hycrete admixtures are 80%
composed of pre-consumer recycled materials, by weight.
Innovation in Design (ID Credit 1)

Greater than 2.5% of Building Materials Certified Cradle to CradleTM
Use of Cradle To CradleTM certified products that constitute at least 2.5% of the material cost of a Project has been established as
a successful application for an Innovation Credit.
Hycrete products are certified Silver under the Cradle To CradleTM program (50% credit).
Materials & Resources (MR Credit 5.1)

Regional Materials
The value of materials extracted and manufactured within 500 miles of the project site count towards this credit. Hycrete
admixtures are manufactured in Newark, NJ; 80% of the materials are extracted there.
