This high-strength cement water proofer is ideal for both internal and external applications, including rendering, roof screeds, swimming pools, tanks, retaining walls, basement walls, and reservoirs. It improves the workability and plasticity of concrete and mortar in their wet state, resisting water penetration even under pressure. The product reacts with free lime in the mortar to form hydrophobic crystals, which block the pores and enhance water resistance. For best results, it should be added to the gauging water with minimal water in the mix and a properly balanced cement and sand aggregate ratio, ensuring the mortar is well compacted for a dense, homogeneous body.
Key Points:
- Improves Plasticity: Makes the mix easier to work with, enhancing usability.
- Enhances Water Resistance: Significantly improves water resistance in the mix.
- Retards Suction: Reduces suction in multi-layer renders for better application.
- Hydrophobic Crystal Formation: Reacts with free lime to form crystals that block pores, enhancing waterproofing.
Shelf Life: 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored in the original, unopened bottles.
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container, between +5°C and +30°C. Protect from frost, high temperatures, and direct sunlight.
Coverage: 0.25 to 0.5 litres per 25kg of cement.
