👷‍♂️ Recently, our team had set up a CPD for the professional team at uMngeni-uThukela Water for our partner Sheldon White from Spraylock Africa (Pty) Ltd who discussed, how colloidal silica technology and Spraylock’s innovative SCP range can significantly enhance and extend the lifespan of concrete structures — offering improved durability, sustainability, and performance for modern construction needs.

💡 Spraylock SCP is a cutting-edge concrete treatment that penetrates deeply to densify and waterproof from within, reducing permeability and increasing long-term strength — ideal for a wide range of applications.

A huge thank you to Carl for sharing his knowledge, and to all the professionals who took the time to meet with us and engage with this powerful product range.
