Hydrophobic agents & Impregnation

With hydrophobic agents and impregnation of MC, you can protect concrete exposed to the elements. They strengthen and consolidate the surface zones of your concrete, reduce water absorption, decrease the danger of frost damage, minimize the growth of algae and moss and accentuate the character of the concrete.

Hydrophobic agents & Impregnation

Select a product subcategory

Concrete components that are exposed to heavy weathering or de-icing salts need to be able to withstand extreme dampness. With MC’s hydrophobic agents, you are able to both reduce water absorption levels and protect your structures effectively against consequential damage.

With impregnation products from MC, you can strengthen and consolidate the surface zones of your concrete, bind dust more readily to the surface, reduce water absorption and better accentuate the character of the concrete.

Challenges & Applications

Invisible Nisiwa and Emcephob water-repellent

Hydrophobic impregnation serves to reduce capillary water transport in mineral building materials such as natural stone, bricks, renders and concrete. The tendency of such surfaces to absorb water leads to a range of problems. Pores in the materials become susceptible to freezing and frost when filled with water. Salts and corrosive gases may also penetrate. And the presence of water in the pores also gives rise to biological growth in the form of algae, lichens and fungi. With our Nisiwa and Emcephob hydrophobic agents, pores near to the surface and susceptible to capillary absorption are temporarily impregnated to prevent the penetration of moisture. At the same time, the surface remains open to water vapour diffusion. Water and contaminants are repelled by the concrete as long as the hydrophobic treatment remains active.
