No room for water or moisture with our water repellents
Water simply rolls off
Water is fundamental to our life. But for buildings, water can present a real challenge. Repeated exposure to freezing cold weather and the pollutants and dirt associated with water can cause considerable damage. Our water repellents provide effective protection against these adverse effects.
Water repellents are used to provide mortar and rendering systems with durable protection against water and moisture.
Our modern water repellents minimize the infiltration of water and dissolved pollutants, while maintaining the water
vapor permeability at the same time.
Important requirements for water repellents:
High degree of alkaline stability
Permeability to gas and water vapor
Low surface tension
No sticky surfaces
Deep penetration depth
Higher hygiene standards and reduced penetration of pollutants
Modern water repellents offer effective surface protection and ensure a lasting
attractive appearance.
Under the brand name TEGOSIVIN® we offer highperformance
water repellents for the manufacture
of long-life systems. A heavy reduction in water
absorption as well as excellent beading properties
ensure reduced penetration of pollutants and therefore
reduced cleaning requirements. Improved
freeze/thaw resistance minimizes weather-related
damage, which in turn has a positive impact on
restoration costs and durability.
