Descripción
Idrosilex from Mapei is a water-repellent mass for cementitious mortars, in powder or liquid form. This waterproofing property, together with a correct application system in several layers, ensuring the discontinuity of the pores, guarantees perfect tightness, even in the presence of negative pressure.
CHARACTERISTICS
- IDROSILEX is an additive based on special waterproofing products, according to a formulation developed in Mapei's research laboratories.
- IDROSILEX is available in both powder and liquid
- IDROSILEX, mixed with cement, sand and water, forms an extremely compact mortar that is easy to apply, even on vertical walls, with a trowel or with a “sablon” type plasterer.
- Compared to traditional cement and lime mortars, plaster made with IDROSILEX offers lower capillary porosity.
TO IMPORTANT NOTICES
The plaster mortar made with IDROSILEX must be considered a rigid waterproofing system, therefore its use is not indicated for:
- Replace elastic waterproofing membranes
- Waterproofing structures subject to strong deformations under load and therefore at risk of cracking
- Waterproof fresh concrete that has not completed the hygrometric shrinkage phenomenon
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
