Concrete Waterproofing That Works From Within
Coatings and membranes protect concrete from the outside - until they are punctured, detached or aged. Evercrete Vetrofluid takes a different approach: it penetrates deep into the concrete matrix and makes the concrete itself waterproof.
How it works
Vetrofluid is a dual-action treatment based on sodium silicate technology. Applied to clean concrete, it migrates into the capillary network, reacts within the matrix and permanently blocks the pathways water uses to move through the structure. The surface stays vapour-permeable, so the concrete can breathe while liquid water stays out.
Because the protection lives inside the concrete, it cannot peel, blister or be worn away - and it resists chlorides, carbonation and freeze-thaw cycles as well as water.
Where it is used
- Water tanks, reservoirs and water-retaining structures
- Basements, cellars and lift pits - see basement waterproofing
- Tunnels, culverts and below-ground infrastructure
- Car parks, decks and external slabs (with Evercrete Pavishield for trafficked surfaces)
- Marine and coastal structures exposed to salt attack
- Construction joints and precast elements
Complementary to membranes - not a replacement war
Specifying a membrane or cavity drain system? Vetrofluid protects the structural concrete behind it, extends design life and provides redundancy if the primary barrier is ever compromised. Many UK waterproofing contractors use Ecobeton treatments as the belt-and-braces element of a combined specification.
