MITB is chemically similar to MITA only less potent and is purposely designed to be a surface applied treatment that penetrates into concrete for an in-depth waterproofing solution. It is used as a waterproofing product where hydrostatic pressure is minor or not relevant. MITB also makes a cost effective alternative as a second coat for MITA. MITB works within the concrete's substrate to react with un-hydrated cement particles and water to grow crystals within the concrete mass. In doing so it will make the concrete permanently waterproof. MITB is applied as a brush on slurry or may be applied as a dry shake. .

Features of MITB |
|
| |
- MITB is a one time only application for the life of the concrete
- Product is user friendly and easy to apply
- MITB treatment is permanent for the life of the concrete
- It is applied from either the positive or negative side
- MITB is chemically less concentrated than MITA for lower demand applications

Advantages in using MITB |
|
| |
- MITB will autogenously repair concrete
- It will reactivate the waterproofing mechanism should water be present in the future
- MITB will increase the durability of the concrete
- Structures are protected against cracking and spalling by using MITB
- MITB will stop water penetration into the concrete
- The product will provide the best quality to cost ratio in the industry
- It eliminates the need for any other waterproofing system
