Duraproof is an additive that can be added to concrete and mortar mixes to improve their waterproofing properties. It works by combining with lime in cement to form water-repellent particles that block capillary action within concrete. It does not modify the characteristics of fresh concrete or affect compressive strength. Duraproof conforms to various industry standards and regulations for use in concrete that contacts drinking water. It should be added to the mixing water at a dosage of 1 liter per 50 kg of cement.
