Batimix IWR M-800

Integral moisture barrier for mortars and grouts

Description

BATIMIX IWR M-800 is an integral water-repellent liquid admixture used in all types of mortars and grouts to reduce absorptivity and water penetration of mortars and grouts from the surrounding environment. It is formulated from carefully selected inorganic stearate based raw materials, imparting hydrophobic water-repelling properties. This product can also be supplied in powder form.

Main Purpose

BATIMIX IWR M-800 significantly decreases the water permeability of mortars, albeit without altering other properties in the fresh and hardened states. It creates a network of insoluble water-resistant material within the pores of the cement matrix. It forms an effective internal barrier that prevents water transmission.

Applications using BATIMIX IWR M-800 include all types of mortars and grouts used for masonry and repair works such as plastering, rendering, patching, and pointing.

Features

Mortars prepared with BATIMIX IWR M-800 are 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
• Reduced potential for efflorescence and probability for rebar corrosion
• Reduced attack of soluble salts and aggressive ions
• Improved mortar durability and better surface quality

Dosage

0.2% to 1.2% of the cement weight
