Basilisk Healing Agent is an advanced admixture designed to endow concrete with self-healing properties. This innovative solution enables any concrete mix to automatically repair cracks, enhancing durability and lifespan.
Composition:
A bio-based granular additive that facilitates self-healing in concrete.
Functionality:
When cracks form and water infiltrates the concrete, the healing agent activates, filling cracks up to 1 mm with limestone.
Key Advantages
1. Does not change the performance of your concrete formulation
- ASTM C-39 tests show no performance changes.
- Admixture modestly slows curing, reducing microfractures.
Key Advantages
2. Waterproof Concrete
- Self-healing concrete seals cracks, eliminating the need for special coatings or waterproof membranes.
- Reduces costs and increases durability by preventing water infiltration.
3. Shrinkage Reinforcement Reduction
- Allows for larger crack widths to be accepted in the design, significantly reducing the need for shrinkage reinforcement.
- Results in lower costs and decreased environmental impact.
4. Reduced CO2 Footprint
- By decreasing the amount of required reinforcement and extending the concrete’s lifespan, the overall CO2 footprint is reduced by 30-50%.
- Contributes to more sustainable construction practices.
5. Lower Maintenance Costs
- Self-healing properties lead to less frequent and less extensive maintenance needs.
- Reduces downtime and associated costs for repair and upkeep.
6. Extended Service Life
- Enhances the quality and durability of concrete, ensuring longer service life and better performance over time.
- Lowers life cycle costs by maintaining structural integrity.
7. Autonomous Repair System
- The healing agent repairs cracks without the need for human intervention, providing a reliable and consistent solution.
- Can seal cracks up to 1 mm in width, ensuring robust protection against damage.
Additional Benefits
- Watertight Concrete: Self-sealing cracks save costs on additional coatings and repair methods.
- Less Maintenance & Shorter Downtime: Requires fewer maintenance interventions, reducing overall downtime.
- Autonomous Healing: Continuously repairs cracks as they form, ensuring long-term durability.
