WHERE TO USE
Thanks to its high water-repellent properties,
Mapecrete Creme Protection may be used to
protect the surface of concrete floors against capillary
penetration of water, the ingress of chlorides or other
pollutants and continuous exposure of surfaces during
freeze/thaw cycles.
The use of Mapecrete Creme Protection is particularly
recommended for horizontal and vertical concrete surfaces
exposed to atmospheric agents, on concrete structures
and infrastructures such as bridges, roads, floor joists,
concrete buildings in general and concrete floors.
The special formulation of Mapecrete Creme
Protection makes it suitable for application on both
porous and well-compacted concrete.
Some application examples
Impregnation of normal or fibre-reinforced concrete
surfaces.
Impregnation of concrete infrastructures exposed
to atmospheric agents, such as bridges, floor joists,
walkways and structures in marine environments.
Impregnation of concrete structures, such as storage
silos, cooling towers and buildings in general.
Impregnation of concrete floors situated in external
areas.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Mapecrete Creme Protection is a solvent-free,
silane-based, thixotropic impregnating formulate in
water dispersion with a creamy consistency.
Thanks to its particular characteristic of high water
repellence, Mapecrete Creme Protection may be used
to protect surfaces against the ingress of chlorides,
one of the primary causes of the deterioration of
reinforcement steel in concrete, including in marine
environments.
The high capillary-penetration capacity and high
concentration of silane contained in the impregnator
allows the product to form an excellent chemical bond
with the treated concrete to guarantee a complete,
long-lasting hydrophobic treatment.
The product has a creamy consistency and a low level
of evaporation during handling and application, which
means that the level of penetration into the substrate
may be evaluated immediately after application and the
level of protection required may be calibrated according
to the porosity of the substrate.
Surfaces treated with Mapecrete Creme Protection
become water-repellent while their transpiration
capacity remains the same.
Mapecrete Creme Protection complies with the
principles defined by EN 1504-9 (Products and
systems for protecting and repairing concrete
structures. Definitions, requirements, quality control
and conformity assessment. General principles for the
use and application of systems), and the minimum
requirements of EN 1504-2 (Protection systems for
concrete surfaces) for class: products for protecting
surfaces - hydrophobic impregnation (H) - protection
against ingress (PI) + moisture control (MC) + increasing
resistivity by limiting moisture content (IR).
Solvent-free, silane-
based, thixotropic
impregnating cream
in water dispersion,
ideal for hydrophobic
