Integral Waterproofing & Admixtures

Built into concrete and mortar for long-term water resistance.

Kesari Conchem integral waterproofing solutions are designed to reduce permeability from within concrete and mortar, helping limit capillary water movement while improving mix workability and cohesion. Suitable for waterproofing concrete, plaster and water-retaining applications, the category supports durable construction by addressing water ingress at the mix stage.

Category Overview

What It Does

Integral waterproofing works within the cementitious mix rather than relying only on a surface-applied barrier. Kesari Waterproofing Compound is added during mixing to help reduce capillary action and permeability, improve water tightness, and support a cohesive concrete or plaster mortar mix.

Where It Is Used

The supplied technical documentation supports use in waterproofing mortar and concrete, general mass concrete where porosity and permeability need to be minimised, sand-cement mortars, and water tanks.

Why It Matters

Capillary pores and permeability can create pathways for water ingress through concrete and mortar. An integral waterproofing admixture helps address this risk during the mix itself, supporting improved water tightness without relying solely on post-construction surface treatment.

Selection Considerations

Whether waterproofing is required within concrete, plaster mortar, or a water-retaining application.
Site-specific permeability and porosity risk.
Compatibility with the cement used; the supplied TDS states compatibility with all types of commercial cements.
Required dosage and trial requirements; exact quantity for standards-based waterproof concrete should be established through preliminary site trials.
Concrete or mortar mix design and required water-cement ratio.
