Boscoseal Admix is a concrete admixture that is added during batching to waterproof concrete through crystallization. When added at 0.8-1.2% by weight of cement, it reduces water and chloride permeability through the formation of catalytic crystals within the concrete pores and capillaries. It provides protection against water, hydrostatic pressure, and certain chemicals while also reducing shrinkage cracking. The document provides guidelines on mixing Boscoseal Admix at ready-mix plants or precast batch plants to properly disperse it within the concrete.

-- Maximizes waterproofing within Chloride Permeability < 525 concrete. Water Permeability 7.25 x 10-13 -- Withstand extreme hydrostatic Water Penetration < 20mm pressure > 7 bar (DIN 1048.5) -- Exceptional durability -20oC to 50 oC. Shinkage < 600 Microstrains (AS 1012-13) - 28 days -- Reduces shrinkage and cracking. -- Protection of concrete against certain Suitable PH range 3.0 (acid) - 11.0 (Alkaline)
aggressive chemicals including
chloride attack to steel reinforcing. application GUIDELINES -- Sealing static cracks up to 0.4mm. For waterproofing concrete the recommended addition -- Complies with SS 375 : 2001 - Potable rate for Boscoseal Admix is 0.8% to 1.2% by weight of water. cement. For enhanced chemical resistance, please consult Bostik to determine the approximate addition rate. Boscoseal Admix is added to the concrete at the Description time of batching. The sequence of procedures for Boscoseal Admix is use for treating the concrete to addition will vary according to the type of batch plant create protection and waterproofing in it. This admixture operation and equipment. is a concrete additive designed to be added at the time of batching and by doing so catalytic crystalline growth are READY-MIX PLANT - DRY BATCH OPERATION being form within the concrete making it waterproof. Boscoseal Admix powder is to be added into the drum of the ready-mix truck. Drive the truck under the batch Crystal growth in Pores & Capillary tracts of concrete plant and add 60% to 70% of the required water along shown through electron microscope. with 140 kg to 230 kg of aggregates. 2 to 3 minutes of mixing is needed to ensure the Admix is distributed evenly throughout the mix water. Balance of materials are to be added into the ready-mix truck in accordance with standard batch practices.
READY-MIX PLANT - CENTRAL MIX OPERATION
Mix Boscoseal Admix with water to form a very thin Crystal growth in concrete after application of crystal slurry (e.g. 6 kg to 8 kg of powder mixed with 10 liters of forming waterproofer. water). Pour the required amount of material into the drum of the ready-mix truck. The aggregate, cement and water should be batched and mixed in the plant in accordance with standard practices (taking into account the quantity of water that has already been placed in the ready-mix truck). Pour the concrete into the truck and mix for at least 5 minutes to ensure even distribution of the Boscoseal Admix throughout the concrete. Fully developed crystal growth at 28 days within the capillary tracts of concrete blocking flow of water. PRECAST BATCH PLANT - PAN MIXER Boscoseal Admix is to be added into the rock and sand, Recommended uses mix thoroughly for 2 to 3 minutes before adding the • Water tanks and Reservoirs cement and water. The total concrete mass should be • Water retaining structures blended using standard practices. • Basements • Marine application PAGE 1 OF 2 NOTE : While mixing Boscoseal Admix with the concrete, It is important to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Do not add dry Boscoseal Admix powder directly to wet concrete as this may cause clumping and thorough dispersion will not occur.
CURING Normal practices for placing and curing concrete should be followed as laid out in your local standards.
PACKAGING Boscoseal Admix is available in 20 kg pail.
STORAGE And SHELF LIFE
Boscoseal Admix should be stored at room temperature of maximum 38oC, keep dry and out of direct sunlight. Shelf life is 18 months in tightly sealed original bag.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Boscoseal Admix should only be used as directed. we always recommend that the Health & Safety Data Sheet is carefully read prior to application of the material. Our recommendations for protective equipment should be strictly adhered to for your personal protection.
