Where to Buy GCP Applied Technologies

Chemical additives dosed into concrete mixes to modify properties such as workability, set time, water reduction, and durability. Common types include water reducers, retarders, accelerators, air-entrainers, and superplasticizers used in structural and flatwork placements.

Curing compounds are liquid membrane-forming coatings sprayed onto fresh concrete to retain moisture during hydration and reduce surface cracking and dusting. They are used on slabs, pavements, and structural concrete to promote proper strength development, and may be resin- or wax-based per ASTM C309 or C1315.

Steel, synthetic, or glass fibers added to concrete mixes to provide secondary reinforcement and control cracking. Used in slabs-on-grade, shotcrete, and precast elements to improve toughness and reduce shrinkage cracking.

Liquid-applied coatings that cure to form a seamless, monolithic waterproofing barrier over concrete and masonry substrates. Used on below-grade walls, plaza decks, foundations, and split-slab assemblies in commercial construction.

Membrane and coating systems applied to the building envelope to control the passage of air and water vapor through walls, roofs, and floors. Used in commercial construction to reduce air leakage, manage moisture, and improve energy performance, available as fluid-applied, self-adhered sheet, or mechanically fastened products.

Below-grade waterproofing consists of membranes, coatings, and drainage products applied to foundation walls, slabs, and other subsurface concrete to prevent water intrusion and hydrostatic pressure damage. Products include sheet membranes, fluid-applied coatings, and bentonite systems used on basements, tunnels, and below-grade structures.

Sodium bentonite clay waterproofing supplied in panels, sheets, or granular form that swells on contact with water to seal below-grade concrete surfaces. Applied to foundation walls, slabs, and blindside applications to resist hydrostatic water intrusion.

Dampproofing consists of asphalt- or bitumen-based coatings applied to below-grade foundation walls to resist moisture migration under non-hydrostatic conditions. It is used in commercial construction to reduce dampness transfer through concrete and masonry substrates.
