CRYSTALLINE WATERPROOFING EXPLAINED How Does Crystalline Tanking Slurry Work?

Crystalline tanking slurry is designed to protect suitable porous mineral substrates against water penetration.

The coating provides a surface waterproofing function, while its active ingredients are designed to react in the presence of moisture.

This reaction encourages crystalline formation within suitable pores and capillaries of the treated masonry or concrete.

These crystals help restrict water movement through the treated material.

The product information describes the crystalline mechanism as migratory, with the ability to reactivate upon later contact with water.

Correct preparation, application, curing and treatment of joints and defects remain essential to performance.

GENERAL TANKING INSTALLATION ADVICE How to Apply Cementitious Tanking Slurry

Correct substrate preparation and waterproofing detailing are essential. Follow the current product data sheet for mixing, coverage, coat thickness and curing.

Assess the Water Problem

Identify the source of moisture and the expected water pressure. Check for structural movement, cracks and unsuitable substrates before choosing a tanking system.

Prepare the Surface

Remove unsuitable paint, loose plaster, dust, contaminants and weak material. Repair defects and prepare sound mineral substrates as specified.

Treat Joints & Details

Complete the required waterproofing details at wall-to-floor junctions, corners, service penetrations and movement joints before coating.

Mix as Directed

Follow the manufacturer's current mixing instructions for water quantity, mixing time, working life and surface moisture requirements.

Apply the Slurry

Apply to the prepared substrate using the specified technique and number of coats. Maintain the required application thickness and detailing continuity.

Cure & Finish

Protect the coating during curing. Allow the specified time before plastering, applying self-levelling compound or exposing it to water.

Important Installation Information

The exact water mixing ratio, consumption per square metre, number of coats, minimum thickness and curing periods are not specified in the supplied product description.

Do not estimate these values or apply generic instructions from another slurry. Consult the current manufacturer technical data sheet before application.

For basement or below-ground work, the complete waterproofing system should be selected for the site's groundwater conditions and the intended use of the space.

WATERPROOFING SYSTEM COMPARISON Tanking Slurry vs Cavity Drain Membrane

Tanking slurry and cavity drain membranes manage water in different ways.

Tanking slurry is applied to a suitable mineral surface to help resist water penetration.

The crystalline action also works within compatible porous substrates.

Cavity drain membranes are commonly used as part of a Type C drained protection system. They manage water by providing a drainage space and route towards a suitable outlet or sump pump.

Some basement waterproofing designs combine different forms of protection. The correct approach depends on the site and a competent waterproofing specification.

Key Differences

Tanking slurry: cementitious coating
Tanking slurry: crystalline action
Tanking slurry: applied to mineral surfaces
Membrane: separate waterproofing layer
Type C membrane: managed drainage cavity
Drainage may require a sump pump
Both require careful junction detailing
System selection depends on site conditions
