Hidroprime - AQ

Properties

• Keeps the appearance of treated materials unchanged;

• Excellent penetration capacity, which guarantees good impregnation, does not create a film on the surface of the materials;

• It is not sticky, so it does not stick dirt to the surface;

• Prevents water from entering, but ensures the continuity of water vapor transfers;

• Prevents the proliferation of fungi and algae on treated surfaces;

• Prevents the appearance of efflorescence and runoff on treated surfaces;

• Prevents chipping (e.g. of tiles) due to the increase in volume caused by the freezing of water inside the materials.

Composition

Colorless, water-repellent, aqueous-based siloxane water repellent in solution.

Support

HIDROPRIME-AQ is especially suitable for application on porous surfaces.

• Examples are: brick, exposed brick, solid brick, masonry, tile, fiber cement, natural stones, ceramic tiles, concrete, cement-based substrates (e.g. flooring and hydraulic mosaics).

• Typical examples: colourless protective and waterproofing treatment for concrete facades, walls and pillars, and pitched clay/fibre cement tile roofs. It can also be used as a horizontal barrier against rising damp, applied under pressure by injection into holes made for this purpose.

Application instructions

• The product is presented ready to apply and dilution is not recommended.
• It can be applied using a low-pressure sprayer (manual) for large surfaces and, for small surfaces, use a brush.
• The application must be uniform and continuous and in an upward direction (from bottom to top).
• A good application essentially depends on the absorption capacity of the material and the amount of water repellent applied, which determine the penetration depth of the treatment.
• In most cases, two coats of water repellent are sufficient to obtain good impregnation.
• The time between coats is approximately 1 to 2 hours.
• Always provide ventilation in application areas (especially indoors).
