By preventing the capillary action that draws moisture through concrete, brick, sandstone, and porous masonry, it stops waterborne salts from migrating to the surface. This mechanical control prevents picture framing in granite and basalt paving, stops salt attack in saline soils, and deprives moss and mould of the moisture required to grow on off-form concrete or brickwork. Unlike topical sealers, bulk impregnation protects the entire mass, meaning the water-repellent performance is unaffected by traffic wear, surface abrasion, or minor movement cracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNumbers that matter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1:100 dilution ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 part Hydrophobic Additive to 100 parts clean water (or 100ml per 100L screed mixer capacity) provides a highly concentrated formula that minimizes packaging waste on site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16m² coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 litre treats approximately 16m² of tiling, which covers a 40mm thick tile screed, tile adhesive, and tile grout based on a 300 x 300 x 10mm floor tile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24-hour rain window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Treated cement-based materials must cure for up to 24 hours before any exposure to rain to ensure the hydrophobic barrier forms correctly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4°C to 35°C application range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Air and substrate temperatures must remain within this window during application and initial curing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiled wet areas:\u003c\/strong\u003e For screeds, adhesives, and grouts in bathrooms, balconies, patios, stairs, and pool surrounds to prevent efflorescence and protect primary waterproofing membranes from water pooling underneath tiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStonemasonry and brickwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed into mortar to form a built-in damp proof course (DPC) that blocks rising damp and salt attack, particularly when using white cement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcrete structures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protects off-form concrete, post-tension reinforcement pockets, and concrete pavers against freeze-thaw damage and chloride ion absorption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways use General Purpose Cement (Type GP) for applications where efflorescence is a risk.
