FEATURES
Hydrophilicity narrows or blocks the capillary structures found within concrete and masonry. The capillary structure is blocked due to the interaction with the lime to form insoluble, non-absorbing chemical compounds. It does not cause the corrosion of reinforcing steel. Unisil Hydroguard is not suitable for the final (finishing) surface treatment of construction materials, such as concrete, masonry, or plaster, but can be adjusted and maintained upon request.
APPLICATIONS
Unisil Hydroguard is used where the termination of the capillary suction of water is necessary to achieve the production of an internal hydrophobic effect and narrowing or blocking of the capillaries. The primary application: is based on the production of horizontal waterproof barriers for repairing old buildings when the lime is included in the composition of the masonry. Horizontal waterproofing barrier by Hydroguard may be provided only when there is no water stress, i.e., where there is no water outlet.
