Why Injection Resins Are the Future of Waterproofing Repairs
Time is money” is more than just a saying in the realm of modern building; it’s a fact of life. Finding materials that don’t require a trade-off between speed and structural integrity has long been a problem for Canadian contractors and engineers.
Enter Velosit Canada, a company that specializes in high-performance cementitious technologies that are revolutionizing the way we build, waterproof, and fix infrastructure. This is how Velosit is “future-proofing” Canadian construction by coming up with new ideas.
1. The “Velosit Binder”
Fast without getting smaller
The Binder Formula is what makes the Velosit product line unique. Many traditional cement formulations get cracks as they shrink or take weeks to fully cure. Velosit’s platform technology makes mortars and screeds that:
Quickly Build Strength: Many systems can acquire high compressive strength in just a few hours, not days.
Zero Shrinkage: Velosit makes sure that the adhesive is permanent and the seal is water-tight by getting rid of the “pull-away” that happens with regular patches.
Minimal Curing: A lot of products don’t need much or any water curing after application, which cuts down on the amount of work that needs to be done on site.
2.Crystalline Waterproofing: Concrete that Fixes Itself
Water getting into concrete is the worst thing that can happen to it, especially in Canada’s brutal freeze-thaw cycle. Crystalline admixtures from Velosit Canada, such as VELOSIT CA 112, turn concrete into an active barrier:
Self-Healing: If the concrete cracks (up to 0.5 mm) and stays that way, the crystalline technology reacts with moisture to “grow” crystals that automatically seal the gap.
Internal Protection: This protection is built into the whole concrete slab, unlike surface membranes that can be punctured or worn off.
Best Uses: Great for parking garages below ground level, elevator pits, sewage treatment plants, and water tanks for drinking.
3.Systems for Flooring Made for Commissioning
When working on industrial or commercial projects, floors typically need to be ready for heavy traffic or coatings nearly right away. Velosit’s self-leveling Underlayments and Screed Systems are made for “fast-track” building.
Early Coating: Some systems can be coated with resin or have floors put down in as long as 12 to 24 hours.
Durable and attractive: These systems stay very resistant to wear and tear, from industrial floors that get a lot of use to sophisticated retail designs.
4.Fixing concrete: 12 hours vs. 3 days
Every hour that a bridge, tunnel, or parking garage is closed for repairs represents a cost to the public or the business. The CSA (Calcium Sulfoaluminate) cement technology is used in Velosit’s Concrete Repair Systems. This lets contractors finish a full repair, including protecting the surface, in just one 12-hour shift. With regular materials, this process usually takes 2–3 days.
5.A focus on the environment and sustainability
Sustainability isn’t an option in 2026. Building in an environmentally responsible way is important to Velosit Canada:
CSA Cement: Their products are better for the environment than regular Portland cement.
EPD Documentation: A lot of products come with Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), which means they can be used in “green” buildings that are certified by LEED and DGNB.
Potable Water Safe: Their waterproofing solutions are safe to use in structures that hold drinking water, so no dangerous chemicals get into the water supply.
Conclusion: The Velosit Partnership
Velosit Canada is more than just a supplier of mortar bags; they also see themselves as a technical partner. Their team provides engineering support to make sure the proper chemistry is used to fix the right problem, whether it’s a leaking basement in Toronto or a complicated sewage infrastructure project in the Prairies.
