Challenge – WATERPROOF CONCRETE STRUCTURES Concrete is the most important building material in Waterproof concrete is therefore a crucial factor not only construction industry. Expectations are high: as concrete influencing the durability of concrete but the life expectancy have to resist heat, frost and water, and chemical attack from carbon dioxide gases, chloride ions and sulphates from aggressive urban environments. In particular water can Vandex is proud of contributing with proven waterproofing cause severe damage to concrete structures – be it by water solutions in the preservation...

30  μm – the length of a crystal CLOSED Pore space completely closed by crystals, length of the crystals is up to 30 μm. Compared to a sample without VANDEX AM 10 the crystals are 10 times longer. New crystalline waterproofing and water reducing admixture technology for construction VANDEX am 10 – Crystalline waterproofing admixture for concrete • integral waterproofing • permanent system • improving concrete properties The VANDEX AM 10 crystalline admixture is a unique product in the world, as it fulfills ASTM (North American) as well as CE (European) admixture standards.

STRUCTUR AL WATERPROOFING CONFIR M ED EN 12390-8 Penetration of water under 5 bar hydrostatic pressure for 72 h. Immediately after this the specimens have been broken and treated by phenolphthalein which colors the water penetrated areas violet. With this coloration the depth of water penetration has been measured. CRD C48-92 No water leakage at 13.8 bar hydrostatic pressure. DIN 1048 Waterproofing test method to determine depth of water penetration. 6 × 6” specimen exposed to 72 psi (5 bar) head pressure for 72 hours. Cylinder is split in half and depth of water penetration is measured...

Crystalline water reducing/concrete plasticiZing admixture EN 934-2:T2 VANDEX AM 10 is an approved integral crystalline water reducing/concrete powder specifically formulated to interact with concrete capillary pore structures. Concrete treated with VANDEX AM 10 also resist high water pressure as it is a permanent part of the concrete matrix. VANDEX AM 10 can be used in above and below-grade Chloride ion content Alkali content Corrosion behaviour Compressive strength Water reduction Air content Dangerous substances ≤ 0.1 % ≤ 6.3 M % No corrosion acc. to EN 480-14 observed at 7 and 28 days:...

is added to the concrete at the batching plant.   Consumption: 1–2 % BWC how to use … VANDEX AM 10 can be used in drum mixed and central batched concrete applications. It should be added to the initial batching sequence. 1. RE ADY MIX PL ANT – DRY BATCH VANDEX AM 10 powder is placed in the drum of the ready-mix truck. At the batching plant is the balance of the materials added according to concrete mix design and regular batching practice. Mix materials for a minimum of 10 minutes. The product must be completely dispersed in the mix in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture. It should be...
