Surface protective materials that protect structures from deterioration factors. The effects are semi-permanent, allowing for increased longevity and cost reduction.
The inorganic permeable concrete modifier RC Gardex is a surface protection material that achieves low cost while offering "high waterproofing and water-stopping performance," "suppression of salt damage and freeze damage," and "prevention of carbonation," making it highly multifunctional. It is a new concept "silicate-based concrete modifier" that excels in workability and long-term durability. ■ Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism New Technology NETIS [KT-060075-V] *As of December 2014, this product has been changed to "technology that does not require utilization effect investigation (VE)." It penetrates into the concrete and fills capillary voids. It demonstrates long-term effectiveness through waterproofing and self-repair, regardless of internal or external conditions! It can also be used in wet or stagnant water conditions, offering excellent workability! 【Features】 ○Economical: Very easy and speedy application at low cost for waterproofing. ○Durability: Prevents cracking and protects concrete semi-permanently with a single application. ○Environmentally friendly: Safe for the environment and can be used anywhere indoors or outdoors. It contains no toxic, flammable, odorous, or colored substances and does not include solvents. ○Strength: Increases concrete strength by 120% or more, enhances water tightness and hardness, prevents dust, and prevents peeling of paint and tiles. ○Breathability: Concrete treated with this product is breathable and allows moisture to evaporate, while preventing the intrusion of water, oil, acids, and other harmful substances.

basic information
RC Gardex reacts with calcium ions and other substances in concrete, transforming into a mesh-like inorganic polymer. By connecting the voids within the concrete, it provides flexibility to the hard concrete, exhibiting strong performance against vibrations and deflections as a surface protection material. The elongation in response to displacement is expected to be around "120%", and the adhesion strength is anticipated to improve by "120-150%". These enhancements significantly reduce the occurrence of cracks and improve durability. 01. Penetrates into the concrete, filling capillary voids, and exhibits waterproofing effects both internally and externally. 02. Can be applied to concrete that is constantly wet or in a stagnant state (various pits, water tanks, etc.). 03. Ensures the integrity of the joint between new and old concrete. 04. Prevents abnormal expansion due to moisture supply and deterioration from neutralization of low-quality RC during construction of new buildings. 05. Suppresses the occurrence of efflorescence. 06. Smooths the porous nature of concrete, demonstrating a high primer effect. 07. Usable on all cementitious parts. 08. Highly rated for safety (passed tests related to technical standards for water supply facilities and material properties of equipment). ● For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Japan's structural body treatment focuses on the inorganic materials inherent in concrete and has developed the "Inorganic Penetrating Concrete Modifier RC Gardex Series," which incorporates a unique functional catalyst. This product is an odorless, water-based inorganic surface impregnation material, resulting in minimal environmental impact and effects on human health. Focusing on "products that are friendly to structures and the environment," it not only applies to new concrete but also offers a new approach to extending the lifespan, enhancing durability, and protecting against various deterioration factors for existing concrete. We will continue to actively engage in the development of new products and aim to play a pioneering role in the field of surface impregnation materials and inorganic penetrating modifiers.
