Aquaguard 100 (Water proofing concrete admixture.
Type: Waterproofing & Damp Proofing Concrete Admixture (Multipurpose)
Mr. Safety AquaGuard 100 is a multipurpose integral waterproofing concrete admixture that provides superior protection against water ingress, dampness, and leakage in concrete structures. It enhances durability, minimizes maintenance costs, and safeguards embedded steel from corrosion, making it ideal for basements, roofs, swimming pools, and underground applications. Compliant with ASTM, BS, and BUET standards, it delivers reliable performance in diverse climatic conditions.
Mr. Safety AquaGuard 100 is a premium-grade multipurpose concrete admixture designed to deliver integral waterproofing, damp-proofing, and leakage protection within concrete and masonry structures. Specially formulated for the tropical climate and construction needs of Bangladesh, this product ensures long-term protection against water ingress and environmental deterioration, maintaining the structural integrity of concrete over time.
AquaGuard 100 creates a dense microstructure within concrete, reducing permeability and blocking water pathways. It also works as an additive in damp-proofing plaster mortar, enhancing moisture resistance in basements and wet zones. For leakage repair, it effectively seals cracks, honeycombs, and other weak points, safeguarding the structure from water damage and steel reinforcement corrosion.
- Waterproofing: Forms a dense and impermeable concrete matrix that blocks water pathways.
- Damp Proofing: Works in damp-proof plastering mortars to protect walls and floors from moisture ingress.
- Leakage Repair: Seals cracks, voids, and honeycombs to stop water leaks from the source.
- Corrosion Protection: Minimizes chloride ion penetration, protecting embedded steel from rust and corrosion.
- Reduces Maintenance: Enhances the durability of the structure, reducing long-term repair and maintenance costs.
- Climate Compatible: Performs reliably in hot, humid, and wet conditions typical of Bangladesh and similar regions.
- Easy to Use: Simple dosing into concrete and mortar mixes during batching or site mixing.
- Concrete basements and retaining walls
- Roof slabs and terraces exposed to rain
- Underground water tanks and swimming pools
- Lift pits, machine rooms, and substructures
- Reservoirs, sumps, and water-retaining structures
- Wet areas: Bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, and utility rooms
