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’.

Newton HydroTank 302 Resin Injection Hose Waterbar System
A high performance waterbar system installed within and used for sealing construction joints in earth-retaining and water-retaining concrete structures. When injected with injection resin, the material penetrates into the concrete surrounding the construction joint to permanently seal any cracks, capillaries, pores and honeycombing within the structure.
HydroTank 302 Injection Hose features micro-ports equally spaced over the entire circumference of the house, and when injected with injection resin at 1-bar of pressure or above the microscopic ports open and the low-viscosity resin penetrates deeply into the concrete surrounding the construction joint.
The injection hose is compatible with both polyurethane and acrylic injection resins, and when installed and injected correctly HydroTank 302 Injection Hose improves the water tightness of the ‘Type B’ waterproof structure by sealing the joints and encouraging improvements in the quality of the concrete placement.
