FIELDS OF APPLICATION
All porous mineral substrates can be mineralized: stone, terracotta, concretes, slate, granite, plaster, tiles, tile joints, etc.
Laboratory tests
The term “Mineralizer” has developed a lot in recent years. However, not all Mineralizers give the same result.
The research and development of our products and the problems encountered by some other manufacturers have shown us that it is possible to obtain an effect contrary to that desired.
Hydro-Mineral’s knowledge of silica, materials and our years of research, laboratory tests and field applications have enabled us to develop high-performance formulations combined with a quality production system.
Hydro-Mineral’s products have been developed to provide lasting protection for your projects and extend their lifespan.
As such, we have at your disposal more than 30 test reports carried out in various independent laboratories.
Here are some examples.

Our in-house laboratory, the LRDTM, is dedicated to you
We control the mechanical quality of our customers’ materials: cohesion, hardness, porosity, slipperiness and accelerated aging in climatic chambers. We perform microscopic imaging to better understand the nature of your materials as well as the reaction obtained after mineralization. At the request of our customers, we also perform slipperiness or tearing tests directly on construction sites before and after mineralization.
