Crystalline Waterproofing of Concrete Newton HydroCoat 104 Super
HydroCoat 104 is applied to the surface of concrete to provide in-depth protection against the movement of moisture through the capillaries and hairline cracks within the concrete. It consists of Portland cement, specially treated quartz sand and a compound of active chemicals. HydroCoat 104 is supplied in powdered form and is either sprinkled onto fresh concrete or is mixed with water as a carrier and brush or spray applied as slurry for application to fully cured or older concrete or vertical surfaces.
The active chemicals combine with the free lime and moisture present within the capillaries to form insoluble crystalline complexes which effectively block the capillaries and any minor shrinkage cracks to prevent any further movement of moisture to provide a totally dry surface to the concrete.
Large areas can be quickly treated with HydroCoat 104. The speed of application and the low material application rate (1 kg/m²) makes this product a very low-cost option for various scenarios.
Because HydroCoat 104 penetrates deep into the concrete, it does not leave a physical membrane to the surface of the concrete element and so is completely unaffected by loadings imposed by further elements of the build. New concrete elements are placed ‘concrete to concrete’ with no potential for slip or separation as is the case with physical membranes.
Features and benefits:
- Single component.
- Ease of application − sprinkled onto new concrete and applied as a simple slurry to vertical and cured concrete. Permeates deep into the concrete to form a barrier against moisture that cannot be damaged or punctured.
- Loading capabilities only limited by the strength of the concrete.
- No physical membrane − subsequent concrete placement is ‘concrete to concrete’.

High Strength Newton HydroCoat 203 Repair Mortar for Reparation of Concrete
Polymer-modified, and fibre-reinforced, HydroCoat 203-RM is physically and chemically compatible with the host concrete, quickly exhibiting high adhesive and compressive strength. As a single component, requiring only the addition of water, the resulting mortar is rapid curing with enhanced polymeric properties and reliable strength development which is not significantly affected by low-temperature use.
The mortar can be used as supplied up to 100 mm deep, or it can be bulked out with sharp sand to form a high-performance screed or for floor or deck repairs up to maximum depth of 300 mm.
Surface preparation is required, as is protection after application - consult the manufacturer for details.
Features and benefits:
- Incorporates the latest proven cement chemistry, fibre and styrene acrylic copolymer technology.
- Reliable strength development, even at sub-zero temperatures, gives rapid return to service.
- Pre-packaged material only requires mixing with clean water. Can be bulked out with sand or aggregate.
- High bond strength exceeds tensile strength of concrete, thus ensuring monolithic performance of the repair.
- Sets in 10 minutes at 20°C yielding a durable, high strength mortar.
- Dense matrix resists 10 bar water pressure. Very high diffusion resistance to acid gases and chloride ions.
- Sulphate resistance to class DS-5/5m of BRE Special Digest 1 and ideally suited for sewage and wastewater applications.
- Portland cement base with physical properties of cured material similar to base concrete.
- Non-toxic when cured and is listed as authorised under Regulation 31 for use in the supply of drinking water.
Flat Loose Laid Flooring Membrane Newton DampSafe 601 Slimline
Flat Loose Laid High Grade Flooring Membrane – Primarily for isolating moisture sensitive flooring from dampness in the floor slab, but can also be used as the floor membrane as part of the Newton CDM System, when the survey has ascertained that there is no risk of water entering through the body of the slab.
- Advanced Moisture Isolation: Effectively isolates moisture-sensitive flooring from dampness in floor slabs, ensuring long-term protection.
- Early Installation Capability: Can be installed above uncured slabs and as soon as concrete is walkable, speeding up construction timelines.
- Exceptional Strength: Offers outstanding load-bearing capacity, capable of withstanding over 1000kN/m², ensuring durability under heavy loads.
- Versatile Application: Functions as both a floor membrane in the Newton CDM System and a high-load DPC in structural block walls, providing versatile waterproofing solutions.
- Chemical and Biological Resistance: Inert and highly resistant to water, alkalies, hydrocarbons, saline solutions, organic acids, minerals, bacteria, fungi, and other organisms, ensuring resilience in diverse environmental conditions.
