Waterproofing Admixtures
Specialist waterproofing admixtures are crucial for enhancing the durability and longevity of concrete and mortar structures. Designed to prevent water ingress, they ensure the integrity of various constructions, especially in environments prone to moisture and water pressure. These admixtures are commonly used in basements, retaining walls, tunnels, and water-retaining structures, offering superior protection against dampness and leaks.
Sika 1 Waterproofer Liquid Admixture
Sika 1 Waterproofer Liquid Admixture is an aqueous solution containing complex colloidal silicates. In the presence of water these swell and block the capillaries and pores in the applied sand/cement renders, screeds and mortar to provide an effective barrier against the transmission of liquid water. Features and Benefits Proven for more...

Enhanced Durability for Critical Structures
Waterproofing admixtures provide a vital solution for structures exposed to water and moisture. These specialist products integrate seamlessly into concrete and mortar mixes, creating a barrier that prevents water penetration. By doing so, they extend the lifespan of constructions and reduce the need for frequent maintenance due to water damage.
Applications in Moisture-Prone Environments
Waterproofing admixtures are commonly applied in basements, retaining walls, and other underground structures. In environments like tunnels, where water pressure can compromise the integrity of concrete, these products ensure long-term protection. Water-retaining structures such as tanks, reservoirs, and dams also benefit significantly from these admixtures, preventing leaks and structural weakening.
Why Use Waterproofing Admixtures?
The primary purpose of these admixtures is to enhance the water resistance of concrete and mortar, reducing the permeability of these materials. This makes them ideal for both new construction and renovation projects. In addition to preventing leaks, they also protect against corrosion in structures reinforced with steel, adding an extra layer of durability.
