Unimix
Magicrete - Unimix is a cutting-edge waterproofing compound with an enhanced formula for superior water resistance abilities. The super UNIMIX formula consists of surface-active plasticizing agents, polymers, and other additives. It ensures that the concrete becomes cohesive and thereby highly resistant to water.
The solution is most suitable for producing flowing, pumped, and pre-stressed concrete as well as industrial and commercial floorings. You can trust UNIMIX to be your go-to partner for structures like basements, canals, bridges, dams, water tanks, roofs and basements, infrastructures for which hydro insulation is absolutely essential. The compound can be added to cement, concrete, mortar, and plasters to create a plaster mix that when treated, results in reduced water permeability.
The Unimix compound is a new-age waterproofing superplasticizer that ensures higher strength and impermeability making your critical structures more durable and last longer. The compound also contains active corrosion inhibitors that protect against steel corrosion. It also reduces shrinkage, thereby resulting in fewer cracks in the resultant structures.
Features
Impermeable
Water is unable to permeate into concrete because this compound is a mix of specially designed active ingredients which ensure the concrete remains waterproof when water is able to pass through hydrostatic head pressure or capillary absorption, or both.
Durable
This compound makes concrete increasingly durable by ensuring water impermeability, and thus waterproofing of concrete
Strong
Renders the concrete with a much higher compressive strength and ensures that the setting time remains within the specified time limit.
Compatible With Concrete/Mortar Mix
Highly adaptable compound that fuses effortlessly with cement, concrete, mortar and plaster mixes
No Shrinkage Cracks
Shown to scale down the formation of cracks due to drying shrinkage in plaster and concrete
Cohesive
Provides added cohesion, thus extensively reducing segregation and bleeding

Magicrete Unimix: Integral Waterproofing Superplasticizer Compound
Magicrete Unimix is a cutting-edge integral waterproofing compound and superplasticizer engineered for concrete and sand-cement mortar. Formulated with advanced surface-active plasticizing agents, polymers, and active corrosion inhibitors, it drastically reduces water permeability. By actively blocking both capillary absorption and hydrostatic head pressure leaks, Unimix is the definitive hydro-insulation solution for critical structural infrastructure, including deep basements, roof slabs, canals, dams, water tanks, and swimming pools.
The Financial Impact on Your BOQ (Bill of Quantities)
Specifying an advanced integral waterproofing superplasticizer directly optimizes concrete batching costs and eliminates devastating structural liabilities for developers:
- Elimination of Structural Spalling: Unimix contains active corrosion inhibitors that chemically protect embedded steel rebar from rusting. This prevents concrete spalling and structural degradation, entirely neutralizing massive long-term repair liabilities in water-retaining structures.
- Increased Compressive Strength: As a highly effective superplasticizer, it significantly improves concrete workability and pumpability without requiring excess water. This lower water-to-cement ratio directly yields a denser, higher-compressive-strength concrete mix, maximizing the structural value of your raw materials.
- Zero-Shrinkage Assurance: By drastically reducing bleeding and segregation in the wet mix, Unimix actively prevents drying shrinkage. This eliminates the micro-cracks in roof slabs and basements that traditionally lead to expensive post-construction PU injection repairs.
Mandatory Site Execution Guidelines
To achieve the guaranteed IS:2645-2003 waterproofing compliance and prevent chemical segregation, site teams must strictly follow these concrete batching protocols:
- Gauging Water Integration: Unimix is a free-flowing liquid that must be diluted into the gauging water before being added to the concrete or mortar mix. Never pour the liquid directly onto dry cement, as this prevents uniform dispersion and compromises the waterproofing matrix.
- Mechanical Batching: For large infrastructure pours (dams, canals, basements) and industrial flooring, the compound must be integrated using a mechanical batching plant or heavy-duty drum mixer to ensure the plasticizing agents are evenly distributed throughout the concrete.
- Standard Curing Protocols: While Unimix significantly reduces drying shrinkage, the modified concrete or plaster must still undergo standard, rigorous water curing protocols immediately after the initial set to achieve its final designed impermeability and compressive strength.
