CHEM-CRETE® SOFIX® CCC® 100

Hydrophilic Water Vapor and Moisture Blocker for Transmission Rates up to 12 Lbs per 1000 ft², per 24 Hours

CHEM-CRETE® SOFIX® CCC® 100 is a unique, water-based blend of catalyzed chemicals that significantly reduces water vapor and moisture transmission through concrete and masonry structures.  It is suitable for transmission rates up to 12 Lbs per 1000 ft2, per 24 hours (ASTM F1869).

 

SOFIX CCC 100 produces water-insoluble, hydrophilic crystals within the concrete capillaries, voids and pores. The affinity of the crystals to vapor and moisture is extremely high. In the presence of vapor and moisture, the crystals absorb the vapor and moisture, rapidly swelling and blocking the pores and capillaries, resulting in reduced vapor and moisture transmission.

 

The very low viscosity of SOFIX CCC 100 allows it to penetrate deeply into the substrate. The product protects, preserves and waterproofs without any surface film formation or color change. It will not interfere, and may improve, the adhesion properties of concrete coatings, paints and sealers. Treatable substrates include concrete, cementitious mortars and plasters, limestone.

 

Areas of application:

  • Slabs and foundations
  • Pools
  • Walls
  • Tunnels
  • Pits
  • Reservoirs
