Product type
Integral waterproofing compounds are additives used in concrete and mortar to enhance their water resistance. These compounds work by reducing the permeability of the concrete, thereby preventing water ingress. They are typically made from various chemical formulations, including hydrophobic agents and other additives that bond with the cement matrix during the curing process.
| Form | Liquid or powder |
| Compatibility | Cement-based mixes |
| Dosage | Typically 5% to 10% of cement weight |
| Water Resistance | Improves water resistance by 50% to 90% |
| Application Method | Mixed in during batching or added on-site |
When selecting an integral waterproofing compound, consider the specific application and the required level of water resistance. It's important to specify the type of cement being used, as compatibility can vary. Additionally, inquire about the recommended dosage and any necessary certifications for your project. Quantities should be based on the total volume of concrete or mortar to be treated.
