What went live in July
Premcrete published its first Environmental Product Declaration in July 2025 for Maxiprufe Plus, then followed with Hydrocrete in August. That first wave marks an official entry into the transparency arena and gives buyers product‑level data instead of conservative estimates.
The products covered
Two product‑specific EPDs are now public: Maxiprufe Plus, a pre‑applied structural waterproofing membrane, and Hydrocrete, a crystalline waterproof concrete admixture with a hydrophobic pore‑blocking component. This pairing covers both the membrane at the envelope and the integral mix design inside the slab, which mirrors how these systems are actually specified on real jobs.
Who issued and under which rules
Both EPDs are published with EPD Hub, a global program operator aligned to EN 15804 and ISO 14025. If you want a quick primer on their model, see our overview of EPD Hub. The records list the EPD Hub Core PCR version 1.1. No external LCA consultant is named on the public record, which is not unusual when a manufacturer authors the model internally.
Why this matters for Premcrete’s lane
Premcrete’s home turf is structural waterproofing for civil and commercial builds, with a British manufacturing base and a catalog that spans membranes, admixtures, and accessories. Their customers are project teams who hate delay, need clean submittals, and often work under carbon targets. A product‑specific, third‑party verified EPD replaces generic penalties in whole‑building accounting, which improves spec odds and protects margin when price‑only products try to crowd the shortlist.
Work for Premcrete or competing against them?
Follow us for a product-by-product analysis of EPD coverage and specs to see how Maxiprufe Plus and Hydrocrete stack up against Xypex and Sika.
Competitive snapshot, grounded in what’s on record
For crystalline waterproofing admixtures, Xypex shows active, product‑specific EPDs for its admixture range in Australia and related repair products, demonstrating mature coverage in this niche. Penetron likewise lists a product‑specific EPD for Penetron Admix P, signaling comparable readiness for hydrostatic applications. For pre‑applied membranes, Sika’s SikaProof A+ membrane is covered by an EPD in the French INIES system, so major buyers already see verified numbers for that SKU. In short, Premcrete’s July launch helps them meet established rivals on the same playing field rather than ceding specs by default.
Where to find Premcrete’s EPDs
Premcrete already links the declarations on the product pages, which is the fastest path for spec writers and QS teams: see Hydrocrete Admixture (look for “EPD Certificate”) and Maxiprufe Plus (same “EPD Certificate” callout) on their site. Having the EPD one click from the datasheet removes back‑and‑forth and keeps submittals clean. A central sustainability or EPD hub page would further help procurement portals and distributor teams discover everything in one go.

Commercial read for spec and bid teams
Two EPDs may sound small, yet they unlock outsized coverage across below‑grade basements, tunnels, lift pits, and pool shells where membranes and integral admixtures are paired. Teams can model impacts with confidence, reduce RFIs, and clear LEED v5 submittals faster. The smartest next step is to expand into adjacent SKUs that commonly travel with these systems, like joint waterstops and primers, so bundles stay spec‑ready without gaps.
Our take
Premcrete moved from claims to verified numbers in July 2025, then doubled down a month later. That cadence is what owners and GCs expect now. Keep the momentum, keep the data current, and make transprency part of the product experience from the first brochure to the final closeout.
Notes on competitors mentioned
If you are tracking market context, Sika has broader EPD activity across categories that are adjacent to waterproofing, summarized here for quick scanning: Sika resinous flooring EPDs, at a glance. Premcrete’s step into verified declarations narrows perception gaps and puts the brand into more spec conversations where third‑party data is now table stakes.
