Description
An integral waterproofing concrete and mortar admixture specifically formulated to reduce capillaries in cement concrete, mortar, and plaster by promoting the rapid hydration of cement. It effectively decreases permeability and enhances the cohesiveness of the mix, thereby improving durability and resistance to water ingress.
Know How to Use Waterproofing Chemicals
Method of Application
- Charge the cement and aggregates into the concrete mixer and mix in dry state for 2-3 mins.
- Gradually 50–60% of the required water and continue mixing for 2–3 minutes.
- Add Plastochem 201 IPW+ as per the dosage to the remaining water, then pour this into the mixer and continue mixing for an additional 2 minutes, for a homogenous mixture.
- Place the mixed concrete or apply plaster as necessary.
- Cure the applied mortar or concrete following standard construction practices.
Application Areas
It is suitable for use in reinforced concrete (RCC) columns, beams, roof slabs, water tanks, basements, external plastering, and other similar applications.
Dosage
Desired dosage of Plastochem 201 IPW+ is 200ml per 50 Kg Cement Bag. A severe over-dosage will result in the retardation of initial set & decrease in workability.
Limitations & Precautions:
- Plastochem 201 IPW+ should be used in recommended dosage.
- Maintain water cement ratio as low as possible.
- Do not add Plastochem 201 IPW+ directly to dry cement & aggregate mix.
- Shake the liquid before use.
- Use rubber hand gloves & safety goggles, while using Plastochem 201 IPW+.
- In case of contact with skin, wash with plenty of water and seek medical guidance, if needed.
- Keep out of reach of children.
