This process reduces pore and capillary size throughout the concrete matrix, permanently sealing the structure and preventing water ingress. As a result, the concrete is waterproofed from the inside out, eliminating the need for external membranes, joints or surface treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-01-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"11221\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-01-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-01-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-01-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-01-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-01-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-01-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-01-scaled.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-02-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"11222\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-02-681x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-02-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-02-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-02-768x1155.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-02-1021x1536.jpg 1021w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-02-1362x2048.jpg 1362w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-02-scaled.jpg 1702w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patrick Flannigan, Chryso GM Technical and Product Support Management Africa, explains that Chryso\u00ae CWA Liquid 200 represents a leap forward in integral waterproofing. \u201cIt is not just about preventing water penetration \u2013 it is about fundamentally improving the performance, durability and longevity of concrete infrastructure. From a safety, environmental and quality perspective, the benefits over traditional powder-based solutions are significant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using advanced nanotechnology, the liquid admixture offers multiple performance enhancements. These include increased concrete strength and resistance to chloride and sulphate ingress as well as protection against carbonation, chemical attack and freeze-thaw damage. Its ability to self-heal micro-cracks and hairline cracks up to 0.5 mm ensures long-term resilience, even in the most demanding environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The product is suitable for a wide range of applications including basements, water tanks, reservoirs, dams, tunnels, wastewater and water treatment plants, swimming pools, marine structures and roads and bridges. Flannigan says that because it is added directly to the concrete mix, it avoids the need for costly and time-consuming surface preparation and is not constrained by weather conditions which is an important advantage for large scale or fast track construction projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-03-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-id=\"11223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-03-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-03-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-03-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-03-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-03-1536x1027.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-03-2048x1369.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-06-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"11226\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-06-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-06-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-06-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-06-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-06-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-06-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">smart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another key benefit of Chryso\u00ae CWA Liquid 200 is its compatibility with all types of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), making it highly adaptable across different mix designs. It also complements Chryso\u2019s broader range of admixture technologies, providing concrete producers with an integrated performance solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnlike powder waterproofing products that are manually added at batching plants, our liquid solution is accurately dosed through Chryso dispensing systems,\u201d says Flannigan. \u201cThis means improved traceability, consistent quality and reduced health and safety risks associated with powder handling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The liquid format also improves concrete workability and can enhance hydration, reducing the need for other admixtures and helping optimise cost control. Importantly, Chryso\u00ae CWA Liquid 200 is non-toxic, contains no VOCs and is environmentally friendly &#8211; aligning with modern demands for greener construction methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-04-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"11224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-04-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-04-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-04-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-04-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-04-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CHRYSO-CWA-PIC-04-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChryso\u2019s commitment is not only to develop high performance admixtures and construction chemicals but also to support our customers throughout the construction process,\u201d Flannigan adds. \u201cWe offer full technical backup, ensuring each mix design is optimised for maximum waterproofing performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Chryso\u00ae CWA Liquid 200, the company is reaffirming its leadership in innovative admixture technology, delivering waterproofing and corrosion protection solutions that extend the life and performance of concrete while helping to meet evolving industry standards for sustainability, safety and efficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chryso is setting a new benchmark in concrete waterproofing across Africa as the first and only supplier of a high performance liquid crystalline waterproofing admixture \u2013 Chryso\u00ae CWA Liquid 200.
