DuraTite® Plug

1 of 4 products in this brand
DuraTite® Plug is a fast-acting hydraulic cement plug that, when mixed with water, is used to stop actively flowing water and repair leaking cracks, holes, and joints. It uses a powerful crystalline formula that adheres to wet surfaces to create a water tight seal. It reacts with water and un-hydrated cement particles and forms insoluble needle shaped crystals that fill capillary pores and micro-cracks.
