HIGH PERFORMANCE ADMIXTURE FOR
​INTEGRAL CRYSTALLINE WATERPROOFING ​

HydroCap Admix HA-1 is a unique crystal-forming dry admix that has been successfully used over many decades to integrally waterproof concrete or masonry and to improve the durability. HydroCap Admix HA-1 is used as part of the formula prior to set. 
HydroCap molecules sink deep into the pores of concrete and then form non-soluble crystalline structures that prevent the penetration of liquid. It is suitable for potable water and subsequent finishing applications.

Technical Bulletin

Advance Testing Company Inc.

TRIAXIAL PERMEABILITY TEST

Advance Testing Company Inc. received 4x8-inch
cylinders for ​​permeability testing per ASTM D5084
​treated with the following: 

2% Anti-Hydro Hydrocap 
(19-0584B)

2% Leading Competitor A
(19-0584A)

1% Anti-Hydro Hydrocap
(19-0584C)

​1% Leading Competitor B
(19-0584D)

Approximately a 3-inch diameter core was taken from
​the center of each cylinder and tested for permeability.

BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF THE PERMEABILITY TESTING:

Triaxial Permeability Test Using Back Pressure Astm D5084

The concrete specimen treated with Hydrocap 
Admix HA-1 1% permeated the slowest at 3.30E-09
followed ​by the concrete specimen treated with
Leading Competitor B 1% at 1.48E-08,
​Hydrocap Admix HA-1 2% at ​​2.91E-08 and
​​Leading Competitor A 2% at 3.33E-08.

Results are listed in order from slowest permeating to fastest permeating specimens.

LABORATORY NUMBER	ITEM	COEFFICIENT OF PERMEABILITY
19-0584C	Hydrocap Admix HA-1 1%	3.30E-09
19-0584D	Leading Competitor B 1%	1.48E-08
19-0584B	Hydrocap Admix HA-1  2%	2.91E-08
19-0584A	Leading Competitor A 2%	3.33E-08

Third party testing conducted in laboratory conditions.  Results may vary based on individual conditions. ​No warranty implied.
