Hycrete

Hycrete is a waterborne admixture for concrete that replaces densifiers and waterproof coatings in high-performance applications like commercial foundations, plaza decks, and roofing systems, including living roofs. It reacts with metals in the water and concrete mix—as well as with rebar and other embedded metal reinforcement—to create a compound with a long hydrocarbon chain that fills up the capillaries in the concrete, and which actually repels water. Hycrete has achieved Cradle to Cradle certification from McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) as a “biological nutrient.” It is available by the gallon, tote, or tanker.
