MITA is a permanent, state of-the art, surface applied, crystalline waterproofing treatment designed to waterproof and protect concrete from water penetration through pores and capillaries. As the most chemically active of Hydronil’s therapies, MITA is a surface applied treatment that penetrates into fresh or existing concrete to provide a permanent in-depth waterproofing solution.
MITA’s, hydrophilic crystalline technology works within the substrate as a catalyst to force a reaction between cement particles and moisture, enhancing concrete’s natural abilities while blocking the pores and capillaries. The reaction that occurs causes millions of long pin like crystals to form within the pores and capillaries of the concrete effectively stopping water penetration through enhanced hydration.
Due to the catalytic nature of the therapy, the ability to generate this reaction is continuously present, should water or moisture become present at a future date, the process will reactivate stopping all future water penetration. It may be applied as slurry, sprayed on or as a dry shake to either the positive or negative side of new or existing concrete structures. This unique, highly concentrated product will penetrate deep into the concrete to provide waterproofing protection even under most demanding hydrostatic conditions.
