Water-repellent - what is it ?Species cost and application

One of the main problems in the construction is the protection of all parts of the structure being built by direct contact with liquids.It is solved by different techniques and using different materials.But if all they are effective and easy to use in any situation, the question is not unequivocal.

That's why experts always recommend to make a waterproofing complex that is to combine a number of ways.Naturally, this will require more time, and the consumption of the product concerned increased significantly.The use of funds, called hydrophobizing, allows us to solve the problem at the same time different.

Such formulations dramatically reduce the ability of all construction (finishing) of materials to absorb the liquid, and not only on the surface but also in depth.According to the effectiveness and efficiency can be called analogues of several types of waterproofing - impregnation, roll, lubricative and so on, that is, they are products "for all occasions".

Features repellents

• Ability to handle any of the materials (asphalt, brick, slate, cement, plaster, wood, etc.) used in the repair or construction.It should be noted that for each of them selected "your" kind of product.
• Many remedies permit based on "breathe", which excludes the appearance and development of the fungus, mold (for example, in the wood).They are not "seal" the pores of materials (no film formed), as conventional paints, and if such lower rate as vapor permeability, it is not much (less than 10 - 15%).And only some of them.
• Versatility.It is possible not only to process the surface, but also be administered as additives to mixtures of different composition in the manufacture of "artificial" (various kinds of concrete, blocks, tiles and so on).This technology increases several times the operational life of the final product.
• addition to the main destination, and perform a number of other useful functions, for example, increase elasticity, frost materials.

Species

The chemical composition:

• silicone;
• water based.

By application of technology:

• Special paint.
• Stains.
• impregnating means.

To use hydrophobizator gave the desired effect and do not worsen other characteristics of the base material, the corresponding need to find the right composition.

well proven products under the brand «SOFEKS» (several kinds), production of which is established in the Moscow region.It may be noted and a number of others - «Aquastat» , «Penta» .From import demand compositions «Kemasol» (Slovenian production) and German «Wakker» , «Aqnafin» , «Asolin» .And this is not a complete list of water repellents.

cost

It depends mainly on the chemical composition of the product and its specific application, so impressive range of prices.A few examples:

• «Tiprom" (Russia) - from 900 rubles for a capacity of 5 liters;
• German «AKEMI» 5 liters - about 7200 rubles;
• «Protect Guard" (France) is even more expensive - 2 180 rubles / liter.
