Batimix IWR 416

Powder water-repellent for concrete, mortars and grouts

Description

BATIMIX IWR 416 is a concentrated powder integral water-repellent admixture for use in all types of mortars and concrete mixes to reduce absorptivity and water penetration from the surrounding environment. It incorporates carefully selected inorganic stearate raw materials imparting water-repelling properties.

Main Purpose

BATIMIX IWR 416 significantly decreases the water permeability of cementitious products, albeit without altering their other properties in the fresh and hardened states. It creates a network of insoluble water-resistant material within the pores of the cement matrix. This forms an effective internal barrier preventing water transmission.

Applications using BATIMIX IWR 416 include all types of mortars and plain and reinforced concrete castings, such as precast, ready-mixed, lightweight, pumped, and shotcrete.
