The EVERDURE CALTITE System was released in 1960 after almost ten years of research and development. During this time, the primary moisture transport systems in concrete were examined and identified along with the reasons for the disappointing performance of previous so-called "water-proofing" admixtures.
The System was originally developed for membrane-free waterproofing of concrete basements, roofs, swimming pools and other water retaining structures. Because water is a required component in almost all types of concrete corrosion, it was soon proven to have particular application in aggressive salt, chemical, industrial and agricultural environments where ordinary concrete deteriorated rapidly.
EVERDURE CALTITE is an integral Hydrophobic and Pore-blocking Ingredient (HPI) for inclusion in the structural concrete. Its presence reverses capillary "wick" or sucking action as well as providing a physical pore-blocking component when subjected to hydrostatic pressure. A high range water reducing admixture is also used to reduce the water/cement ratio as well as optimize workability. The result is non-absorptive and moisture-impervious, inherently dry concrete, permanently protected from water ingress and protected against soluble salt and acid attack. EVERDURE CALTITE has been shown to be highly effective, even in some of the world's most severe environments. Its record of more than 40 years under conditions of extreme chloride and sulphate exposure with no significant deterioration is unique. EVERDURE CALTITE effectively replaces the need for coatings to the concrete or steel or other methods of waterproofing and durability enhancement.
WARRANTY: The EVERDURE CALTITE System is backed by an unparalleled 10-year performance based limited warranty.
