A WATERPROOFING SYSTEM THAT TURNS POROUS CONCRETE INTO AN IMPERMEABLE WATER RESISTANT BARRIER
Dr. Fixit Krystalline
CEMENTITIOUS crystalline Water proof COATING FOR Concrete

Description
Dr. Fixit Krystalline is composed of high
quality cement, properly selected & graded
inert aggregates, proprietary waterproofing
active chemicals & additives. It is used as a
chemically active waterproofing treatment for
concrete. Dr. Fixit Krystalline, when mixed with
water and applied as a brush coat to concrete,
it penetrates deeply into the capillaries of the
concrete to form billions of needle like crystals
which blocks the pores, voids & micro cracks in
concrete. It is effective against substances of
high contact pH value (Range pH 3-11 in contact Application of Dr. Fixit Krystalline Coating
and 2-12 with intermittent contact).

How Dr. Fixit Krystalline works?

}} r. Fixit Krystalline contains active

waterproofing chemicals which react
with the natural chemical by products
of cement hydration, such as calcium
hydroxide, various mineral oxides, hydrated
& unhydrated cement particles of the
concrete in wet condition. The result of
chemical reaction is the formation of
billions of needles like non-soluble crystals
which block the pores of the capillaries,
voids & micro-cracks in concrete. Dr. Fixit Dr. Fixit Krystalline Penetrates deeply inside

lies dormant. However, it becomes reactive
whenever it is re-exposed to moisture.

}} I t penetrates even against strong

hydrostatic pressure, becoming an integral
part of the concrete. The waterproofing
chemicals remain active for the life of the
structure, permanently sealing it for
water seepage.
Crystallization process starts which forms
insoluble crystal hence blocks capillary
