Recurring Maintenance
Our Technology
ConkreGard is a bio-active agent, which works on the principle of bio-mineralization. It enables the formation of nano silica from silicate substrates and forms hard thermostable crystalline composite of calcite and calcium aluminium silicate (gehlenite) leading to self- repair of concrete.

Self Healing Attribute & Water Proofing
ConkreGard self-healing technology leverages the principle of mineralization found in living organisms. This gives the material an innate capacity to precipitate healing minerals upon developing cracks or fissures. The autonomous repair system allows cracked concrete to repair itself when exposed to water and environment. The sealing of cracks leads to reduced water permeability in the concrete and makes it water proof. This enhances the life of concrete and makes it more durable. The unique technology is completely eco- friendly, devoid of any use of chemical admixtures.

Other Advantages
MINIMAL POST CURING
The cementitious/concrete mix requires minimum post curing
INCREASES STRENGTH
It increases the compressive strength and bonding strength of the mixture
INCREASES TENSILE AND FLEXURAL STRENGTH
It increases the flexural and tensile strength of concrete, which reduces the risk of crack formation
ENHANCES SULPHATE/ ACID RESISTANCE
It enhances sulphate and acid resistance
REDUCES CHLORIDE PERMEABILITY
It reduces the chloride permeability in concrete structures, thereby increasing longevity
THERMOSTABLE
It enables the concrete to withstand temperature fluctuations
IMPROVES WEATHERABILITY
It improves the weatherability of the concrete and ensures better resistance in adverse climates
PREVENTS CORROSION OF REBARS
Life of rebars is enhanced by preventing water seepage
SAVES MORE
Extremely cost effective due to easy maintenance
