Why sustainability

Drykos crystallizing technology leverages the chemistry of concrete to protect and waterproof it, extending its service life and reducing CO₂ emissions and the use of petroleum-derived materials.

Drykos is a leader in the production of crystalline waterproofing systems for concrete, with solutions designed to extend the service life of structures and improve the environmental performance of construction projects.

Drymix additives (in powder form) and Drymix Ultra (in liquid form) transform concrete into a self-contained waterproof barrier, eliminating the need for bituminous or PVC membranes.

Crystalline waterproofing: a technology "green by nature"

Drykos active crystallization technology works within the concrete mass and not on its surface.
Our sustainable approach:

Eliminates or reduces the need for traditional surface coatings (bituminous membranes, PVC membranes)

Enables a reduction in environmental footprint of up to -65% compared to conventional waterproofing methods

Contributes to the reduction of CO₂ emissions throughout the entire life cycle of the structure

Offers a concrete alternative to petroleum-derived waterproofing materials, which have a greater environmental impact.

What this means in practice technical and environmental benefits

Drykos crystalline additives act from within the cementitious matrix, simultaneously improving technical performance and construction sustainability.

During cement hydration, Drykos additives react with the concrete chemistry to form insoluble crystals that seal capillary pores and microcracks, making the concrete waterproof “throughout its mass.”

This integrated waterproofing is not subject to abrasion, detachment, or puncture, and reduces additional materials and waste associated with external membranes, lowering the overall environmental impact of the structure.

The increased durability of structures translates into fewer maintenance and repair interventions, with a longer service life and improved economic and environmental sustainability.

Beyond the product: a systematic approach to sustainability

Drykos does not simply provide an additive, but offers an integrated system that supports the project from the design phase to the operational life of the structure:

Design consulting and support in selecting the most suitable system

Installation assistance and technical supervision on site

Ten-year post-construction warranty on systems, for more responsible, safe, and sustainable construction

Drykos systems and products are designed to make “buildings and structures compliant with sustainability parameters” defined by “LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)” and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this way, Drykos presents its offering as compatible with “green building” practices and global sustainability
