Concrete Waterproofing Technology

Revolutionary Technology

Protocol Concrete Protection Products are a line of chemically advanced treatment products developed to permanently improve, strengthen, repair and waterproof concrete and other cement-based products.

Protocol’s Concrete Waterproofing Products are based on patented InnerCrete™ Membrane Technology, the revolutionary new solution to permanent concrete waterproofing and protection.

These innovative products for concrete improvement and treatment can be used on both new and existing concrete and other cement-based materials for a wide variety of applications.

InnerCrete™ Membrane Technology reacts with elements present in concrete and chemically modify it; creating a permanent, internal consolidated concrete membrane. This inorganic, barrier membrane maintains breathability yet is impermeable to all liquids and moisture. The surface profile is maintained for future paint or coating adhesion if desired.

Solutions for

Protocol Products with InnerCrete™ Membrane Technology will increase the performance of concrete by:

  • Waterproofing and preventing water penetration
  • Increasing resistance to surface abrasion, spalling and freeze/thaw
  • Minimizing delamintion of paint and coatings
  • Providing an effective Anti-Graffiti Barrier (with specialty graffiti remover)
  • Controlling efflorescence
  • Eliminating dusting
  • Controlling rebar corrosion
  • Reducing hairline cracking
  • Protection from oil, stains and odors (simplifying maintenance)
  • Minimizing the impact of environmental exposure
  • Controlling mold and mildew
  • Minimizing the impact of acid and chemical attack
  • Minimizing flooring issues

Ways to Protect Concrete

Protocol Products, with InnerCrete Membrane Technology, offer a superior alternative to traditional methods of concrete waterproofing and protection such as coatings and densifiers.

Protocol Concrete Protection Products and proprietary InnerCrete™ Membrane Technology was developed and is owned by Protocol Environmental Solutions Inc, a company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.

Coatings

  • Rely on physical adhesion to the surface
  • Not permanent
  • Face delamination problems.

Densifiers

  • Create a chemical reaction within the concrete to plug the small voids
  • Can be permanent or semi-permanent
  • Create inconsistent results because they rely on certain materials to be present in the concrete in sufficient amounts to fully react – BUT no two slabs of concrete are ever the same. If attempting to waterproof and create total impermeability, inconsistent results (plugging only some of the voids) will only create partial impermeability.
