PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.1
MATERIALS
A.
Crystalline Waterproofing: A prepackaged, [gray][white]-colored proprietary blend of portland
cement, specially treated sand, and active chemicals that, when mixed with water and applied,
penetrates by capillary action into concrete or masonry and reacts chemically with free lime in
the presence of water to develop crystalline growth within concrete or masonry capillaries to
produce an impervious, dense, waterproof concrete or masonry with properties.
