SpECtite WS
Crystalline waterproofing system for cementitious substrates.
SpECtite WS is a state-of-the-art crystalline capillary waterproofing system designed specifically for cementitious substrates. Its unique formulation reacts with free lime in the presence of moisture, forming insoluble crystals that effectively reduce porosity and block capillaries, ensuring long-lasting waterproofing performance.
Ideal for various construction applications, SpECtite WS is easy to apply and meets the stringent requirements for potable water suitability.

Application
Surface Preparation
For optimal performance, it is crucial to prepare the surface adequately before applying SpECtite WS. Old Concrete
Surfaces must be clean and sound. Remove all oil, dirt, laitance, and other contaminants by water blasting. Water blasting is preferred for surface preparation as it mechanically cleans and roughens the surface, is environmentally safer, and leaves the surface saturated with water. The surface must be damp for the application of SpECtite WS crystalline waterproofing system concentrate.
New Concrete
After forms are stripped, acid etch or water blast to remove form oils and laitance as mentioned above. The surface must be left damp for the application of SpECtite WS crystalline waterproofing system.
Construction joints, cold joints, and non-leaking joints greater than 0.25mm wide must be cut in V-groove shape and filled with SpECtite WS crystalline waterproofing system in mortar consistency.
