CLICK HERE TO VIEW THIS COURSE Hycrete products are patented concrete admixtures which make concrete waterproof. These products are used to reduce absorption of water in concrete in finished and unfinished interior spaces, prevent the natural spikes in moisture content of floor slabs which can cause floor finish failures and/or reduce potential for dissolved salts to penetrate into the concrete in exterior applications. Some of the advantages offered by Hycrete solutions include reducing potential for moisture and humidity related floor failures by addressing the concrete’s water transport capacity, 30% or more reduction in waterproofing costs, weeks or months of faster construction, more durable concrete structures and access to LEED Credits using a Cradle-to-Cradle Gold Certified Technology.
