Concrete Waterproofing Admixtures & Repair Chemicals in Ghana
Make Concrete 100% Waterproof & Structural Grade from the Mix
To make concrete waterproof in Ghana, blend an integral crystalline waterproofing admixture directly into the concrete mix during batching. Prodeal Industries Ltd in Accra supplies commercial-grade liquid and powder admixtures that permanently seal microscopic pores within the concrete matrix, preventing moisture seepage and rebar corrosion.
Root Cause Analysis
Why Standard Methods Fail in Ghana’s Climate
High water-cement ratios leaving interconnected capillary networks as water evaporates.
Honeycombing and voids due to inadequate compaction during concrete pours.
Sulfate and chloride attack from groundwater corroding internal steel reinforcement.
Settlement and thermal shrinkage cracking in foundations, retaining walls, and water reservoirs.

Calculate Batch Dosage
Measure 500ml to 1000ml of Pro-Mix Admixture for every 50kg bag of cement used in your design mix.
Add to Mixing Water
Premix the liquid admixture into 70% of the batching water before dispensing into the aggregate and cement mix.
Thorough Mixing & Placement
Mix for at least 3 minutes in a mechanical concrete mixer to ensure uniform dispersion. Vibrate thoroughly during casting.
Standard Water Curing
Maintain continuous water ponding or wet hessian curing for at least 7 to 14 days to maximize hydration and crystalline density.
