BONDGUARD CRYSTAL is a single-component, ready-mixed cementitious waterproofing powder designed to protect concrete structures by forming insoluble crystals that block water pathways. Once applied, it penetrates deep into the pores of the concrete, effectively sealing cracks and capillaries from water ingress offering durable, long-term protection from inside the structure. Crystalline waterproofing system is used for waterproofing against the positive or negative sides of hydrostatic heads of water, for damp- proofing.
Key Features and Benefits
Single Component & Ready-Mixed
BONDGUARD CRYSTAL is typically a powder that is simply mixed with water. And Easy to apply.
Enhanced Durability & Structural Integrity
The system becomes an integral part of the concrete structure, offering long-term and permanent protection against water damage, spalling, and other deterioration.
Protects reinforcing steel
By preventing the intrusion of water and chemicals, the system guards against corrosion of the internal steel reinforcement.
High Strength
Excellent bonding and mechanical strength.
Environmentally Friendly and Non-Toxic
The chemicals used are non-toxic and do not release volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Affordable Cost
Although the initial cost of crystalline waterproofing is higher than other waterproofing methods, it provides cost savings in the long term by reducing the need for maintenance and repair.
Application Areas
BONDGUARD CRYSTAL Increase the lifespan of Marine Concrete.
Marine structures
Bridge decks
By preventing water infiltration and freeze-thaw cycles, it helps maintain the structural performance and safety of the bridge.
Crystalline waterproofing materials protect the structure in basements against water that can be exposed from inside and outside. Thus, it protects the structure from the foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What makes BONDGUARD CRYSTAL different from surface sealants?
Unlike surface coatings, BONDGUARD CRYSTAL penetrates deep into the concrete, sealing pores and cracks internally using crystalline technology.
Is it safe for potable water applications?
Yes. It can be safely used in water tanks, reservoirs, and treatment plants.
Can it be applied to old concrete?
Yes. It works effectively on both new and old concrete provided the surface is properly prepared and cleaned.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The crystalline formation is permanent, offering long-term waterproofing that becomes part of the concrete matrix itself.
