How DeepCure Extends Concrete Life by Sealing from Within

Concrete is designed for durability — but without the right protection, slabs can suffer from moisture ingress, cracking, and chemical attack within just a few years.

The key to long-lasting concrete slab performance lies in how it’s protected during the earliest stages — and that’s where DeepCure penetrating moisture barrier technology makes all the difference.

Understanding Concrete’s Hidden Vulnerability

Even freshly poured concrete contains microscopic pores, hairline cracks, and capillaries. These tiny pathways allow:

  • 💧 Water
  • 🧪 Salts and Chlorides
  • ⚗️ Harmful chemicals

…to slowly enter the slab — causing long-term damage such as:

  • Reinforcement corrosion (concrete cancer)
  • Delamination of the slab surface
  • Flooring adhesive breakdown
  • Shrinkage cracks and slab edge dampness

Why Surface Coatings Aren’t Enough

Traditional concrete waterproofing methods — like roll-on membranes and topical sealers — are only skin-deep.

The problem with surface treatments?

  • 🚫 Easily scratched, punctured, or damaged during construction
  • ☀️ Degrade over time from UV and foot traffic
  • 🧩 Don’t seal internal microcracks or capillaries
  • ⚠️ Allow hidden moisture ingress through weak spots

To truly protect concrete, moisture control must happen inside the slab — not just on the surface.

The DeepCure Advantage: Internal Waterproofing That Lasts

DeepCure penetrates into freshly poured concrete and chemically reacts with free alkalis. This forms a permanent gel barrier deep within the concrete matrix.

This internal barrier:

  • ✅ Seals internal pores, capillaries, and microcracks
  • ✅ Stops water, salts, and contaminants from travelling through the slab
  • ✅ Retains curing moisture for up to 28 days (AS3799 compliant)
  • ✅ Cannot be worn, scratched, or broken down over time

The result?
Concrete slabs that are stronger, drier, and more resistant to damage from day one — and for decades to come.

Proven Results for Builders, Engineers, and Developers

  • Longer-Lasting Concrete: Reduced cracking, better hydration, and no rising moisture issues
  • Increased Strength: Improved curing conditions deliver stronger slab performance
  • Reduced Risk: Less chance of callbacks, moisture damage, or structural failures
  • Faster Construction: No delays waiting on surface membranes or repair work
