Slide12Structural Damage From Water Seepage
Alkaline Silica Reaction (ASR) -
occurs when water enters the highly alkaline environment of concrete. The result is the formation of a gel that expands creating force that subsequently creates cracks in concrete
Freeze & Thaw – the expansion of water in concrete during freeze cycle creates force and the contraction during thaw creates voids. The results are cracked concrete
Carbonation - carbon dioxide in the ambient air penetrates the concrete and reacts with hydroxides in cement. The reaction changes the ph within concrete. High ph corrodes steel reinforcement in concrete
Sulphate Attack
–
Degredation of portland cement due to the exposure of sulphate salts that are present in soils, groundwater, and fertilizers, etc.
Slide13Structural Damage From Water Seepage
Corrosion, Alkaline Silica Reaction, Freezing & Thawing,
Premature Aging, Carbonation, Sulphate Attack
The presence of water is the common component in all of these processes.

Slide17Uniqueness of Zycosil
Conventional solvent based Silane &
Silane/Siloxane mixtures contains flammable volatile organic solvents which are released into the environment
Zycosil
is applied in a substantially diluted form (10 to 20 times in water) releasing significantly less amount of Volatile Organics

Slide21Zycosil Limitations
Cannot be applied on acrylic paint
Cannot seal major cracks
Once diluted, it’s
best used within 48 hrs
Will not allow re-plastering and fixation of tiles, stones, granites etc.
Slide22Solutions to Zycosil LimitationsUse
Zycoprime on a Zycosil treated surface, prior to Cladding of Tiles, Granites etc.
Acrylic paint must be removed prior to application of
Zycosil
Slide23Affordability
Application
Costs - Diluted
Zycosil is comparable in price to most film formers.
(Most film formers only provide 1 - 3 year performance)
Application Costs
- Diluted
Zycosil is roughly 30% to 50% lower than most Solvent / Silane based products.
(Most
Solvent products offer maximum 5-10 year warranties)

Slide26Waterproofing Test
ACCELERATED WEATHERING Weathering Cycle: UV exposure according to
ASTM G-154 (21 hours), followed by rain showers (1 hour) and drying at 110 o
C (2 hours). The samples, Concrete blocks, Bricks, Plaster, Sand stone, and Cement Sheet
have undergone over 90 cycles.
All the Samples retained over 98 % of water repellency, after 90 cycles
Slide27Waterproofing Test
Water Absorption of Concrete
ASTM D6499 : 99 (2006) - AdoptedSix sample blocks of 40 grade concrete were treated with a mixture of 1 part Zycosil and 10 parts water. Each block was allowed to dry for 24 hours before testing.
Test Procedure:
Treated and untreated samples were submerged water.
After 24 hours, samples were removed, measured and documented for absorption.Samples were re submerged for an additional 24 hour period.Samples were removed and measured once again according to ASTM D6499 : 99 (2006) requirements.
Results after 24 hours:
Untreated blocks absorbed 2.48% water
Treated samples absorbed 0.19% water
Results after 48 hours: Untreated blocks absorbed 2.95% water
Treated samples absorbed 0.21% water
