Precast Concrete Protection System

New Technology for Concrete Applications

Seaman Corporation recently developed the technology to bond polypropylene (PP) fibers directly to any of its high performance industrial fabrics. The resulting composite has the PP fibers on one surface, for embedment in concrete. The second surface contains a reinforced thermoplastic compound which provides waterproofing, corrosion resistance (including H₂S gas), high aesthetics, and graffiti resistance.

These characteristics increase the life expectancy of concrete products by providing a high-tech, physical barrier between the concrete and corrosive agents.

Applications

Waste Water Management

Provide concrete protection and containment of waste water in precast products such as septic tanks, manholes, distribution boxes, and grease interceptors. Utilizing our XR-5® technology and prefabrication of the liner to fit the precast mold, concrete is cast directly onto the liner resulting in a finished product with resistance to H₂S gas, grease, fat and other derivatives of waste water.

Potable Water Containment

XR-5 PW product is NSF-61 listed for the containment of potable water.

Utility Vaults and Structures

Provide a waterproofing surface for below grade and above ground utility structures. For above ground structures provide a printed membrane that yields waterproofness as well as high aesthetics and graffiti resistance.

Sound Barriers

For enhanced aesthetics that provide bright colors and printed patterns, while also providing corrosion protection from road salt, and graffiti resistance.

Pilings and Breakwater

Structures that provide corrosion protection of the concrete product from the effects of sea water.

Structural Building Products such as Precast Roof Slabs, Prefabricated Buildings, and Foundations.

Provide liners for long-term waterproof surface that eliminates the need for post construction waterproofing.

Architectural Building Products

Products where a high-quality, durable aesthetic finish is desired.
