Provide Capillary/Crystalline Concrete Waterproofing with CEM-KOTE™ CW PLUS

April 06, 2011

Hampshire, IL – CEM-KOTE CW PLUS is a one-component (add water only), Portland-cement-based coating (slurry) containing silica-based materials. Under water pressure (negative or positive), the soluble silicate penetrates (due to osmotic pressure) into the substrate, where it reacts with lime and forms insoluble calcium silicate crystals which “plugs” the capillary pores and waterproofs the concrete while allowing water vapor to pass. CEM-KOTE CW PLUS is a crystalline (capillary) in-depth waterproofing for new or existing water storage and water treatment concrete structures, digesters, clarifiers, and utility vaults. CEM-KOTE CW PLUS is suitable for waterproofing retaining walls, basements, concrete slabs, swimming pools, and other concrete structures. CEM-KOTE FLEX CW PLUS features many features and benefits, including: • Approved ANSI/NSF Standard 61- Barrier Materials. • Negative- or positive side-waterproofing. • Permanently active (in-depth). • Seals cracks 0.5 mm (20 mils). • Fast cure waterproofing (48 hours). • Approved for potable water tanks [>10,000 gallons – 1337 ft.³ (38 m³)]. • Waterproofs highly porous concrete. • Non-flammable. W. R. MEADOWS, under partnership with GEMITE™ PRODUCTS, is the exclusive U.S. distributor of CEM-KOTE CW PLUS.
