Evercrete DPS

How Does it Work?

Evercrete DPS penetrates up to approximately 3cm below the surface of concrete and chemically reacts with the calcium hydroxide present in the concrete, this reaction occurs in two stages: The first stage an air-silicate gel is formed which then turns into a glass-like crystalline structure. The second stage; during a reaction between Evercrete DPS silicate and the calcium hydroxide in the cement, the hydroxide group is vaporized. In short, the chemical reaction ensures that the impregnated layer is dried.

The results: concrete with increased hardness and strength whilst reducing moisture vapor emissions and permanently stopping the penetration and flow of water and water-borne contaminants such as chlorides and acids, both on the positive or negative side.

Advantages of using Evercrete DPS:

• 1. Waterproofs and preserves concrete
• 2. Protects concrete against chloride ion ingress
• 3. Permanent, no re-coating required
• 4. Increases concrete compressive strength and surface hardness
• 5. Anti-carbonation
• 6. Protects concrete from effects of chemicals
• 7. Can be applied to both dry and damp surfaces
• 8. Eliminates the formation of dust on concrete
• 9. Improves adhesiveness for other finishes
• 10. Reduces efflorescence
• 11. Non-toxic and environmental friendly
