Batimix IWR 414

Internal moisture barrier for concrete and masonry products

Description

BATIMIX IWR 414 is a liquid integral water-repellent admixture for masonry mixes and concrete products to reduce absorptivity and water penetration from the surrounding environment.

Main Purpose

BATIMIX IWR 414 significantly decreases the water-permeability of concrete masonry products, albeit without altering their other fresh and hardened properties. It forms a network of insoluble water-resistant material within the pores of the cement matrix. This creates an effective internal barrier preventing water transmission.

BATIMIX IWR 414 is also used for all types of plain and reinforced concrete castings such as precast, ready-mixed, lightweight, pumped, and shotcrete.

Features

Concrete prepared with BATIMIX IWR 414 is characterized by the following:

In the plastic state:

• No detrimental effect on workability or setting

In the hardened state:

• Minimized water permeability, capillary suction, and moisture transfer
• No negative influence on drinking water in concrete storage tanks
• Reduced potential for efflorescence and probability for rebar corrosion
• Reduced attack of soluble salts and aggressive ions
• Improved concrete durability and better surface quality

Dosage

0.2% to 1% of the cement weight

Color

Brown liquid

Available Packages
