HYDROPHOBING IMPREGNATION OF CEMENT MORTAR

HYDROPHOBIERENDE IMPRAEGNIERUNG VON ZEMENTMOERTEL

Comparative investigations concerning the water repellent effect of various impregnating agents, were carried out in connection with the protection of concrete in which additional access of water is liable to cause expansion or swelling reactions. It was definitively shown that dense and less dense mortars were better protected by alkyl-alkoxy silane or by a low molecular metal-organic compound of unknown composition than by hard silicone resins, against the ingress of water. This is attributed to better bonding and better penetration into the mortar surface. (TRRL)
