Vista Crystal Plus

Vista Crystal Plus

Description

Vista Crystal Plus is a crystalline waterproofing admixture that protects and waterproofs concrete structures through crystallization. The active chemicals react with moisture and the by-products of cement hydration in the concrete, resulting in crystalline formation within the pores and capillary tracts of concrete. This waterproofs the structure against the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction. Crystal Plus provides strong and lasting protection against harsh environmental conditions. When combined with water, the chemicals form millions of needle-like crystals within the concrete, filling pores and micro-cracks, and effectively blocking water pathways.
