Sikagard 705 L

USES

Sikagard®-705 L is used as water-repellent impregnation (hydrophobic treatment) for absorbent substrates such as concrete in civil engineering or building concrete structures subjected to heavy stress due to freeze and thaw cycles and de-icing salts and chloride attack in marine environment

• Suitable for protection against ingress (Principle 1, method 1.1 of EN 1504-9),
• Suitable for moisture control (Principle 2, method 2.1 of EN 1504-9)
• Suitable for increasing the resistivity (Principle 8, method 8.1 of EN 1504-9)

CHARACTERISTICS AND ADVANTAGES

• Excellent penetration
• Fast uptake even on dense concrete
• Economic and easy to use
• Reduces capillary water absorption, protection against driving rain and splashing on vertical areas
• Reduction of absorption of aggressive or deleterious agents dissolved in water (i.e. de-icing salts or chloride from marine environment)
• No change in water vapour permeability
• Long term efficiency, deep penetration
• Increases the resistance of concrete to freeze and thaw cycles and de-icing salts
• Reduce corrosion even in cracked concrete
• Retard corrosion initiation by reducing the available humidity at reinforcement bars level
• Mitigate corrosion by preventing further chloride to migrate to reinforcement bars
• Comply with Dutch guidelines (RWS NEN-EN 1504-2) on CEM III
• Resistant to sea water
• Low VOC content
• Ready to use
