Hydraulic Cement Properties
Hydraulic cement sets and hardens through a chemical reaction with water, called hydration. This is what makes it work so well under water. Made from a fine powder of limestone, clay or gypsum, hydraulic cement becomes a durable paste when mixed with water. Good for many applications.

Sets Fast: One of the best features of hydraulic cement is it sets and hardens in minutes. This fast setting time is for projects that need immediate attention and quick fix.
-
Water Resistant: Hydraulic cement is water resistant, works in wet or dry conditions. Water resistant so it works in environments where water is present.
-
High Strength: High compressive strength, good for structural use, strong and durable.
-
Chemical Resistant: Resistant to chemicals and heat, good for harsh environments. Long lasting performance.
How to Use
-
Preparation: Clean the area around the leak to remove any debris or loose material.
-
Mixing: Mix the hydraulic cement with water to a thick consistency for hand forming.
