Water repellent improves the waterproof performance of mortar, bringing customers higher construction efficiency and quality assurance

In the construction industry, especially in the application of cement-based products, waterproofness has always been one of the properties that customers pay the most attention to. In order to meet the market demand for efficient and highly waterproof building materials, our company's Silicone Hydrophobic Powder(SHP) has become an important additive to improve the waterproof effect of mortar and is widely used in a variety of construction projects.

Challenge

During the exterior wall plastering construction of the customer's construction project, the customer faced the problem of water absorption of mortar under extreme climatic conditions. Due to the influence of rainfall and humidity, the original mortar could not effectively resist water penetration, resulting in cracks and water stains on the wall, affecting the quality and progress of the project. Therefore, the construction team of this project needed a solution to improve the waterproofness of mortar.

Solution

Our company recommended Silicone Hydrophobic Powder(SHP) a highly efficient waterproof additive, to this construction project. As a powdered additive, this product can be quickly dispersed in the mortar system after being mixed with mortar and stirred with water, and generate hydrophilic groups in the cement hydration reaction, thereby forming highly active silanol groups, which further combine with cement hydration products to arrange the hydrophobic groups outward, giving the mortar excellent waterproof effect.

Product Advantages

1. Excellent dispersibility: The water repellent can be quickly and evenly dispersed in the mortar system without affecting the construction performance of the mortar.

2. No impact on construction performance: The ratio with other materials will not have a negative effect, ensuring smooth construction.

3. Significantly reduce water absorption: Effectively reduce the water absorption of the mortar, greatly improve the hydrophobicity and stain resistance of the mortar, and enhance the waterproof effect of the wall.

4. Maintain waterproof effect for a long time: Even under extreme climatic conditions, the waterproof performance of the product remains stable, extending the service life of the building.

5. Good compatibility: Good compatibility with other additives, can be used with a variety of building materials, and does not affect the effects of other additives.

Implementation and results

After many actual application tests, the project construction team confirmed that the water repellent significantly improved the waterproof performance of the mortar. Even after many heavy rains, the mortar surface remained dry and there was no water seepage in the wall. This not only ensures the quality of the building, but also improves the construction efficiency and reduces the cost and workload of later maintenance.
