Everdure
Caltite
The World’s Most Durable Concrete
Traditional concrete is inherently porous, making it vulnerable to water absorption and chemical attack from salts and acids. The EVERDURE CALTITE System addresses the limitations of conventional concrete admixtures by transforming standard porous concrete into hydrophobic concrete – permanently waterproof and resistant to both capillary suction and pressure-driven moisture, ensuring long-term durability and protection for reinforced structures.
How Everdure Caltite Works
The EVERDURE CALTITE System functions as an integral Hydrophobic and Pore-blocking Ingredient (HPI) admixture, reversing capillary suction and resisting hydrostatic pressure through physical pore obstruction.
The EVERDURE CALTITE System achieves superior waterproofing and corrosion resistance with dual waterproofing mechanisms:
A. Firstly, a hydrophobic agent chemically modifies the cement matrix to create a fully water-repellent, non-absorptive structure:
B. Secondly, a pore-blocking agent forms polymer plugs within capillaries under hydrostatic pressure, physically blocking water ingress:
Why Everdure Caltite ?
- More than 70 years of proven performance in highly aggressive environments including extreme chloride and sulphate exposure.
- Permanent waterproofing and corrosion resistance minimises repair and maintenance for the life of the structure.
- Practical and easy to implement – applicable to basements, tunnels, roofs, liquid-retaining structures, marine structures and industrial facilities where structural concrete is subject to water ingress, acid, chloride or chemical attack.
- Reliable technical support – Cementaid technical representatives provide detailed specifications and support trial mixes to ensure correct dosage and optimal concrete performance on site.
