FİXA AQUAFIX S: Sulfate-Resistant Crystalline Waterproofing Material

FİXA AQUAFIX S is a cement-based, sulfate-resistant crystalline waterproofing material designed to protect reinforced concrete structures against both water penetration and sulfate attack. It can be applied against both positive and negative hydrostatic pressure and works by filling capillary pores within concrete, significantly enhancing impermeability. Its specially developed sulfate-resistant formulation extends the durability of reinforced concrete structures, prevents reinforcement corrosion, and improves long-term performance.

Effects of Sulfate Attack on Concrete

Sulfate exposure can cause significant damage to concrete structures, including:

• Loss of concrete strength and durability
• Reduced impermeability and increased porosity
• Initiation of reinforcement corrosion
• Cracking, surface deterioration, and aesthetic damage

FİXA AQUAFIX S helps prevent these issues by providing long-lasting protection against water and sulfate-related deterioration.

Key Features

• Sulfate-resistant cement formulation: Provides long-term protection throughout the life of the structure.
• Crystalline waterproofing technology: Forms insoluble crystals within capillary pores to block water penetration.
• Resistance to positive and negative hydrostatic pressure: Effective waterproofing from both sides of the structure.
• Corrosion protection: Helps prevent reinforcement corrosion in reinforced concrete.
• Suitable for contact with potable water: Safe for drinking water applications.
• TSE and CE certified: Complies with national and international quality standards.
