The figures behind it.
- The recommended dosage rate for Idrocrete KR 1000 is 1-3 kg/100 kg of cementitious materials.
- The crystallising admixture is added at a rate of 1-3% on the weight of the binder into the mixer unit along with the aggregates, cement, water and plasticising admixture and then mixed until it is completely blended.
Consumption on site depends on the substrate, the tool and the applicator, which is why wastage is yours to set. The result is a quantity to plan and quote with, not a guarantee of coverage. Confirm the system against the current Mapei technical data sheet before ordering.
Application
Where it is used.
In Mapei's own words, from the technical data sheet.
- 01Idrocrete KR 1000 may be used with any type of concrete when a reduction of permeability is required
- 02Idrocrete KR 1000 may be used to make concrete that is resistant to aggressive environments
- 03Dams
- 04Storage tanks
- 05Retaining walls

Where it is not the right product.
- The specified exposure class of the concrete must always be respected and the product cannot be used to make up for poorly designed concrete
- To have guaranteed results, Idrocrete KR 1000 must only be used in concrete that has been correctly designed respecting two basic rules for the production of impermeable concrete, which are, a water/cement ratio of less than 0.5 and an adequate wet curing time
- Different dosage rates to those recommended above must be tested beforehand on concrete and, in all cases, only after consulting MAPEI Technical Services

On site
Packs, mixing and storage.
- We stock
- 20 kg
- Mapei packaging
- Idrocrete KR 1000 is available in 20 kg and 4 kg water soluble bags.
- Mixing
- Idrocrete KR 1000 is added to the concrete mix just like any other type of powder admixture. The product must be added in the concrete mixer or in the truck mixer together with all the other components (cement, admixtures and aggregates). Once Idrocrete KR 1000 has been added, we recommend extending the adequate mixing time so that the admixture is evenly blended throughout the mix.
- Storage
- Idrocrete KR 1000 maintains its properties for at least 12 months if kept sealed in its original packaging, protected from moisture.
