No one is more knowledgeable and dedicated to stopping moisture vapor in its tracks, for floors and roof decks, than ISE Logik. ISE Logik has been dedicated to Lean Construction practices and the freedom from the costly dependence of concrete moisture testing as a standard building protocol since the company�s beginning. It is the #1 specialist in moisture vapor mitigation for new concrete slab construction or floor renovation over existing concrete. As a leader in educating the industry through webinars and articles, ISE Logik participates on various ASTM committees to establish standards and best practices in roofing, flooring, and waterproofing.
ISE Logik products are listed as Construction Products-Building Products Category in Division 3 (Concrete) and Division 9 (Finishes-Flooring) Select ISE Logik products also carry HPD and NSF labeling ISE Logik admixtures are formulated to stop moisture migration and warranted to 100% RH with no moisture testing required.
We are here to help architects, specifiers, general contractors, concrete flooring and roofing contractors, and installers have successful time and money-saving installations over concrete anywhere in the U.S.

ADMIXTURES
Basis of Design: DuraForce(iwp) Liquid Integral Waterproofing Admixture: Permeability-reducing admixture for hydrostatic conditions (PRAH) as defined by ACI 212.3R-16 Chapter 15.
Description: Liquid admixture formulated to react with the hydroxide ions produced by the cement hydration process. This creates hydration products within the capillary pores and blocks them, shutting down moisture vapor movement through the concrete.
Type S Admixture per ASTM C494/C494M: Certified, Specific Performance Admixture.
Early Strength Gain per ASTM C39/39M: Achieves design strength in as little as three to seven days after casting of specimen due to internal curing.
Mitigating Effect on ASR per ASTM C1260: 10 percent reduction of effects of ASR compared to control specimen.
Protects against alkali and efflorescence attack from the concrete.
Mitigating Effect on Shrinkage per ASTM C157: 30 percent shrinkage reduction by Day 28 from casting of specimen.
Manufactured with deionized water to removed trace mineral ions.
Inhibits corrosion due to decreased permeability of concrete.
Reduces slab warp, plastic shrinkage, cracking, and crazing.
Use water reducing admixtures to achieve desired slump.
Use of other admixtures in same batch as liquid waterproofing admixture is acceptable if each admixture is added separately.
MIXING
Mix in accordance with Manufacturer's recommendations:
Replace mix water on a 1:1 basis with DuraForce(iwp).
Mix thoroughly to insure uniform distribution.
Compatible with fly ash and granulated ground blast furnace slag.
Compatible with other chemical admixtures.
