Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete

One of the properties of concrete is that it cracks. With proper design, this cracking can be limited, but controlled cracks often cause problems as well. With Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete's products, both existing and new concrete structures repair themselves, offering benefits.

Main advantages self-healing concrete

The proven self-healing technology makes concrete waterproof, eliminating the need for special coatings and waterproof membranes. In addition, the CO2 footprint is reduced by up to half. Finally, construction maintenance costs are lower while design life is longer. With all these benefits, Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete products quickly pay for themselves.

How does it work?

Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete's technology is based on an autonomous repair system with limestone-producing microorganisms (bacteria). When the bacteria come in contact with moisture, they are able to convert the nutrients to calcium carbonate (limestone). Limestone fills the cracks and the concrete repairs itself.

Products

Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete products are suitable for both existing and new concrete structures. The self-healing ability has been extensively tested under various conditions and is covered by a KIWA covenant. Basilisk's products can be added to the concrete mix (Basilisk Healing Agent) or can be applied as a repair agent for repairing existing concrete structures (Basilisk Self-Healing Repair Mortar MR3 and Basilisk Liquid Repair System ER7).
