MasterLife WP 799 vs. Crystalline Admixtures: The Next Level in WaterProofing and Gas Resistance
While crystalline admixtures rely on chemical growth over time, MasterLife WP 799 provides immediate and permanent WaterProofing from within—without the drawbacks of outdated crystal-based technology.
When specifying concrete for below-ground structures, it’s no longer just about WaterProofing—it’s about total resilience. That includes protection against harmful ground gases like radon, carbon dioxide, and methane.
While crystalline admixtures focus solely on water, MasterLife WP 799 delivers comprehensive protection: a high-performance hydrophobic admixture that outperforms crystalline systems in water tightness, workability, finish, and gas resistance.
Gas-Resilient Concrete Starts with MasterLife WP 799
Reduced Air Permeability:
MasterLife WP 799 significantly decreases concrete’s porosity, improving its resistance to the movement of gases—making it suitable for applications where radon and methane barriers are critical.
Ideal for Ground-Gas Risk Areas:
Use in combination with physical gas membranes or as part of an integrated strategy for protecting basements, car parks, lift pits, and other below-ground structures from hazardous gas ingress.
Certified Durability:
Backed by third-party testing and BBA Certification (21/5887), MasterLife WP 799 gives specifiers confidence in both WaterProofing and gas-resilience performance.
Why Choose MasterLife WP 799 Over Crystalline Admixtures?
When it comes to WaterProofing concrete, not all admixtures are created equal. While crystalline systems have been widely used, they come with limitations that can compromise performance, installation speed, and finish quality. MasterLife WP 799 offers a new generation of integral WaterProofing technology—delivering faster, cleaner, and more effective results without the complications of traditional crystalline products.
