All silicate materials will reduce radiation permeation through concrete.
Field testing has demonstrated the Radcon products ability to substantially reduce Radon transmission. However due to the health concerns surrounding Radon emissions Radcrete do not release test results on this application nor do we recommend Radcon for such applications.

Over the years we have actively pursued Radcon treatments to structurally volatile sites having established up front that volatility was present.
These sites are usually under engineered car parks where vehicular loading is creating movement.
For these applications Radcon is the primary concrete waterproofing material and volatile cracks are addressed utilising an elastomeric in the cracks to accommodate movement without failure.

Small applications can be undertaken using a Solo backpack spray “ a weed sprayer” delivering 160 sq mtrs of application per hour.
For larger jobs an impeller driven on demand pump hooked up to a Honda motor will deliver 800 sq mtrs per hour per unit.

One of great features of Radcon is that if a leak is present at the practical end of an application the matter can be easily addressed.
Unlike a membrane application where water can be tracking underneath, with a Radcon application one can go straight to the offending crack for remedial treatment.
In some instances just more water creating more Radcon growth will alleviate the situation.
Alternatively a problem may require a silicone bead seal underneath so Radcon can be flooded into such a crack then further watered to achieve a 100% watertight result.

Radcon will improve the general durability of concrete substantially reducing acid and alkali absorption into concrete.
This will substantially reduce the attack of strong acids and alkalis but Radcon is not the 100% solution.
In reality it is only inert epoxy coatings and resistant liner materials which can produce 100% long term protection whilst ever such materials contain no damage leading to perforations.
Radcon is not highly recommended to prevent high acid, high alkali attack.

Asphalt when placed over Radcon at 160°c will have no detrimental effects on efficacy.
Asphaltic bond test conducted by Washington Highway Authority shows no bond loss when placed over the control and Radcon treated samples.
Of course it is critical that proper asphalting procedures are undertaken, in particular the placement of the "tack coat" prior to asphalt placement.

As Radcon produces Calcium silicate hydrate gel all concrete products will adhere to Radcon treated concrete.
HOWEVER as Radcon is activated by water indefinitely if you are utilising water based acrylic membranes for detailing work, then this detailing should be completed prior to Radcon application.

Radcon has always remained a privately held technology during its 27 year history.
If one studies the company takeovers within the waterproofing industry over the past decade it has been almost exclusively large companies taking over large companies.
This practice has been driven by the need to achieve economies of scale i.e. buying market share, closing factories, reducing staff numbers and deleting brand name product lines.
In a construction industry where innovations such as Radcon should be embraced, in fact the opposite is true.

Radcon not only replaces all currently known above grade membrane applications but of course by default becomes world best concrete protection technology.
Generic sealers such as silanes, siloxanes, methylmythacrylates and even silcates can only deliver general concrete protection without again addressing the weakest point, the cracks present.
Sealers are most often used as a general preventative for freeze/thaw damage, ingress of airborne pollutants and some protection from de-icing salts.

Radcon is unique in the world of waterproofing and has remained as such for its 27 year + history to date.
There are many similar sounding silicate based materials in the market-place however, none are certified to meet membrane specification with regard to preventing totally water ingress and salt ingress reaching any top line reinforcements in particular where leaking cracks are present.
