BridgeDECK Waterproofing Agent is a biochemical modified silicate solution that provides long-term waterproofing and durability benefits to concrete. It penetrates into concrete and reacts with free calcium and water to form a calcium silicate gel complex in cracks, pores and capillaries. This gel creates a subsurface barrier against the ingress of water and contaminants such as chloride ions. BridgeDECK Waterproofing Agent will seal stable cracks up to 5/64” (2.0 mm) in width and will seal future, non-structural cracks, up to 1/64” (0.4 mm). In the matrix, the product remains reactive when in contact with water, to provide autogenous healing properties to future hairline cracks that increase in size.

BridgeDECK Waterproofing Agent

BridgeDECK Waterproofing Agent must be applied to a clean, dry, dust-free concrete surface, at least 28 days old. If the surface is not clean, then the use of one of the following Alchemco Clean & Repair (ACR) products, or a shot blast system, is required for prepping the surface for warrantied applications. Chemical cleaning may require multiple applications and the use of different products to achieve complete cleaning. Certain types of cleaning equipment may improve performance and speed of application when applying chemical cleaners, contact the Technical Department for a list of approved equipment and cleaning methods.

  • ACR Concrete & Masonry Cleaner

  • ACR Emulsifying Cleaner

  • ACR Concrete & Masonry Etch

  • ACRPaint & Stain Remover

  • ACR Rust Converter & Inhibitor

Contact the Technical Department for help and directions for which cleaning product will provide the best result for a clean surface. Where concrete repairs are required, chip out and treat with ACR Concrete Patch & Repair. Once repaired, allow at least 24 hours for patches to dry and cure. If works needs to be completed faster, then use ACR HP Concrete Repair. Do not apply where ambient temperatures are below +39°F (+4°C) or above +95°F (+35°C). Do not apply within 24 hours of the surface being wet.
