WHAT IS HYDROISOL?
HYDROISOL – Developed by the Ural Technical University of the Russian Academy of Sciences, "HYDROISOL" is a cement-based waterproofing material.
"HYDROISOL" provides a definitive waterproofing solution in the construction industry by filling the capillary cracks and capillary spaces of the concrete with water-insoluble crystals, making the concrete structure as impermeable as the life of the concrete.
"HYDROISOL" is known for the needle type crystals it produces among the crystal producing waterproofing materials in the world, and this is the most important feature that distinguishes "HYDROISOL" from other products.
"HYDROISOL" can be added to the concrete mixture as an additive to obtain waterproof concrete, or it can be mixed in the specified proportions and applied to the concrete surface easily by brushing or spraying. Even after years of application, it continues to produce crystals when in contact with water.
It not only provides waterproofing, but also prevents corrosion by penetrating into the concrete, cutting the contact of the concrete bars with air and water, and increasing the strength of the concrete.
HYDROISOL WORKING PRINCIPLE
HYDROISOL is applied to the inner and outer surfaces of concrete structures, regardless of which side (positive or negative) the liquids affect the concrete structure.
After the mixture is applied, the water-soluble functional chemical additives in the form of an aqueous solution penetrate through the cavities of the concrete, effectively penetrating all over the wet concrete.
By interacting with Calcium Oxide and Aluminum Oxide, it forms water-insoluble crystalhydrates in needle-shaped form, filling capillary spaces and microcracks in concrete.
The rate of formation of water-insoluble crystalhydrates in needle-head form, which fill the voids (holes) in the concrete, depends on factors such as the wetness of the concrete, the porosity and temperature.
Thanks to the crystalhydrates formed in the concrete, it is impossible for water to leak into the concrete body through the capillary cavities and the concrete structure becomes waterproof gradually.
Some of the water in the concrete voids forms chemically complex crystalhydrates, resulting in a low (little) void structure that helps the concrete to maintain its vapor permeability.
The vapor permeability property of the concrete enables the moisture remaining in the concrete to be removed in the later stages, that is, to the gradual drying of the concrete.
After the concrete body has dried, the unreacted water-soluble functional chemical additives crystallize and remain in the concrete cavities.
When the new liquid source emerges, the water-soluble additives take the form of saturated salt solution, forming extra needle-shaped water-insoluble crystalhydrates, thus giving the concrete the "self-healing" property.
Functional Hydroisol additives penetrate to a depth of at least 50cm to 90cm within 60 days (movement speed inside the model concrete body - 2∙10-6 m/s at a depth of 0.1 m).
Thanks to this feature, provided that the integrity of the concrete is preserved, regional damage or impact to the concrete does not impair the waterproofing property of the concrete structure and provides lifetime waterproofing.
