Regular concrete absorbs water and anything dissolved in it. With Hycrete’s solutions, concrete becomes hydrophobic concrete, keeping water out. Protective barriers are formed around rebar, resulting in highly effective corrosion inhibition. And with our world-class field service, waterproof concrete becomes waterproof construction, eliminating the need for membranes.
Finally, our products are Cradle to Cradle Silver certified, adhering to the highest standard for sustainable materials. The result is green concrete, with enhanced concrete durability.
