FAQs.

Find answers to commonly asked questions about improving the durability of new concrete.
How often will I need to re-apply the treatment?

Hydrogel treatments are permanent, as they react within the concrete to produce new C-S-H. Therefore they do not need to be re-applied.

What warranty is available?

For the full TECT system MARKHAM experience, a project-specific warranty will be offered based on asset condition and extent of works. These performance warranties are typically a minimum of 15 years. For product supply only, where application is outside MARKHAM control, warranty is limited to replacement of product.

What is the difference between the TECT systems versus the single products?

Firstly, the TECT systems involve a project-specific approach and typically involve several products working together. Secondly, the TECT systems carry a performance-based project-specific warranty, due to MARKHAM being able to provide installation and quality control on site. Single products are still of the highest quality, and can provide effective protection when the customer follows the application procedure correctly. Single products carry a standard product replacement warranty.

What quantities are the product supplied in?

All products are available in 20 litre drums. Some products can be supplied in 1000 litre totes for bulk usage – please enquire.

Can paint, adhesives or industrial coatings be applied over hydrogel-treated concrete?

Yes. The hydrogel treatment creates fresh C-S-H inside the concrete – concrete’s own building molecule. There is nothing foreign introduced. There is no residual coating. Therefore any coating or paint designed to be applied to bare concrete can safely be applied to hydrogel-treated concrete.

Are hydrogel products safe to use? Do they have extreme odours or other disadvantages when being handled?

No. Hydrogel products are nil VOC, nil toxin, nil odour, and safe for the environment. They are water based and are licensed to use the ECA envirolabel.

In the context of transport and storage logistics, are hydrogels heavy or bulky?

Typically, less physical volume of treatment or admixture will be required, compared to commonly-used equivalents in the market. This means reduced transport cost and storage space is required. The products are water-based and weigh the equivalent of the same volume of water – not including packaging.
