Concrete Tanks

Crystalfix is able to continually autogenically repair cracks in concrete tanks up to .5mm as they continue to move within normal structural limits with a relatively simple application from either face of the concrete.

As the structure continues to move from ground movement, temperature fluctuation and load fluctuation the crystals regenerate, grow again and repair the crack.  They can continue to do this for the full life cycle of the structure.

What to expect

This clever chemistry will start to seal your structure with results becoming noticeable at around 7 days. At the extremes of movement you may notice increased leakage which again and again will start to reduce as the chemistry reactivates. It does take 21 days of hydration to reach its potential each time.

Whilst we can quantify exactly how this product will perform, and suggest methodology taken from years of experience, your results may depend on some other factors beyond our control such as:
• Foundations and soil conditions
• Tank location eg. sun/shade/trees
• Original cement content & placement methods
• Reinforcement content, location and degradation
• Your preparation and application techniques

This product is well proven as the easiest and most cost effective way of making your concrete structures “fit for purpose”. Incidental cracking small water loss from time to time is a normal part of concrete structures for the retention of liquids (AS3735). We hope you can avoid the necessity of replacing your tank with a lesser option.

We understand that you may have been frustrated in the past by numerous experiences and attempts at fixing your concrete structures. We hope that you can see past those experiences and enjoy the benefits of having a sound concrete structure that is fit for the purpose and importantly that you have already paid your hard earned money for.
If you elect to add bands later, you should not need to re-apply the product.

Finally, like township water supplies, despite incidental weeps and dribbles , your tank should give you excellent service for up to 80 years once the reo is protected or reinstated. We are unaware of any other structure that will offer this excellent service and encourage you not to replace with a lesser structure.
