HomeSure w-shield Hydrolock
Integral Waterproofing Powder is a specially formulated hydrophobic and pore-blocking admixture designed to reduce permeability of cementitious systems. When added to concrete or mortar, it improves resistance against water ingress by blocking capillary pores and enhancing microstructure densification without affecting normal hydration of cement.
It is recommended for RCC, plastering mortar, screeds, foundations, basements, water retaining structures, roofs, and masonry works where integral waterproofing is required.
Features & Benefits
- Reduces water permeability and capillary absorption.
- Improves watertightness of concrete and mortar.
- Enhances durability of structures.
- Reduces shrinkage cracks by improving cohesion.
- Compatible with all types of cements.
- Easy to use – directly added during batching.
- Non-corrosive to reinforcement steel.
SKUs: 1 Kg, 5 Kg, 10 Kg & 20 Kg pails, 50 Kg & 220 Kg barrels
Benefits & Advantages
- Waterproofing – Excellent waterproofing admixture which is alkali stable in cementitious mixtures.
- Chloride-free – Contains no chloride hence lesser chances of chloride contamination.
- Bonding – Provides excellent bond to concrete & masonry plaster, cementitious surfaces & most of the building materials.
- Strength – Improves tensile, flexural, and compressive strength as compared to control concrete hence increases the durability of structures.
- Shrinkage & Cracking – Reduces drying & aging shrinkage cracks.
- Multipurpose – It is multipurpose & economical product, easy to use.
