The "S-Crete Method" is a composite construction technique that enhances and strengthens the interior of concrete using "S-Crete Up (silicate-based)" and "S-Crete Guard (silane-siloxane-based)" to form a waterproof layer and a water-repellent layer, thereby improving the durability of structures. This method increases the modification and water impermeability of the concrete interior, suppresses the occurrence and expansion of cracks, and further enhances the durability of concrete structures by providing water-repellent effects on the concrete surface and inhibiting the intrusion of chloride ions, contributing to the longevity of buildings. 【Features】 ■ Water and moisture proofing of concrete structures ■ Rust prevention for rebar ■ Suppression of salt damage ■ Suppression of freeze damage ■ Suppression of efflorescence ■ Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS Registration Number: KT-160122-A *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The "S-Crete Method" is a composite technique that modifies and strengthens the interior of concrete using "S-Crete Up (silicate-based)" and "S-Crete Guard (silane-siloxane-based)" to form a waterproof layer and a water-repellent layer, thereby enhancing the durability of structures. The construction procedure is very simple, requiring no special tools or equipment, and can be applied regardless of the site environment. By combining two types of surface impregnation materials, the characteristics of both products are maximized. 【Features and Effects】 ≪S-Crete Up≫ ■ Deep penetration into the concrete ■ Fills micro-voids within the concrete, making it denser ■ Provides an alkalinity recovery effect, suppressing neutralization and preventing the occurrence and progression of cracks ≪S-Crete Guard≫ ■ The components that penetrate the concrete form a waterproof layer consisting of a modified layer and a super water-repellent layer ■ Suppresses the entry of deteriorating substances such as water and chloride ions ■ Excellent depth of penetration *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

If cracks and large pinholes are left unattended, rainwater will naturally infiltrate the concrete and cause deterioration. Particularly, as rainwater becomes acidic, it induces rust in the rebar and accelerates the carbonation of the concrete. Repairing concrete cracks requires thorough preliminary checks. It is essential to investigate details such as the width and length of the cracks, whether they penetrate through, and whether they are structural cracks. The width of the cracks is especially important. Details about the columns can be viewed through the related links. 【Concrete Modifier 'S-Crete Up'】 With high permeability, it modifies concrete from the inside, contributing to the longevity of the concrete.

The risks that arise when concrete deteriorates can be broadly categorized into two main points. One risk is the decrease in seismic resistance, and the other is the potential for concrete spalling and falling. To improve the decrease in seismic resistance, extensive renovation work by specialized contractors is necessary. Regarding spalling and falling, the cause is often due to rust on the rebar, so it is important to first suppress the progression of rust and carry out anti-corrosion treatment.

We would like to introduce a case study of the super water-repellent agent "S-Crete Guard," which is primarily composed of nano-particle silane and siloxane. We carried out renovation work on the exterior wall tiles of the "Tokyo University Institute of Medical Science Building No. 1," a historical cultural property that has been standing for over 70 years. S-Crete Guard was chosen as it allows for waterproofing and protection of the tile joints without compromising the texture of the exterior wall tiles. S-Crete Guard was applied to the entire surface of the exterior wall tiles, restoring the aesthetic without damaging the tile's texture. **Main Features of S-Crete Guard:** - Waterproof protection for tile joints for over 10 years (5-year waterproof guarantee) - Completely preserves the texture of the tiles while stopping indoor water leaks - Can be applied in environments as low as -20°C *For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us.*

We would like to introduce a case study of the super water-repellent agent 'S-Crete Guard,' which is primarily composed of silane and siloxane nanoparticles. 'S-Crete Guard' was applied to stop water leakage in the slab floor of a certain logistics center. On rainy or snowy days, large trucks frequently enter and exit, leaving a significant amount of rainwater on the slab floor, which was causing leakage. As a countermeasure, applying S-Crete Guard thoroughly twice will stop the leakage. For pre-treatment, cracks wider than 0.2 mm are repaired using the S-Crete Crack Method. Cracks of 0.2 mm or less can be sealed simply by applying S-Crete Guard. 【Main Features of S-Crete Guard】 ■ Waterproof protection for tile joints for over 10 years (5-year waterproof guarantee) ■ Stops indoor water leakage without compromising the texture of the tiles ■ Can be applied in environments down to -20°C *For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us.
