DICHTAMENT IWL

Dichtament® IWL is an integral waterproofing admixture for concrete with good plasticizing properties. It does not contain any chloride and can also be used as an admixture for pre-stressed concrete. The mixing of Dichtament® IWL in the concrete brings about contraction of capillaries thereby rendering the concrete dense and waterproof .

Dichtament® IWL brings about contraction of capillary pores and increases density of concrete rendering it optimally watertight. The addition of Dichtament® IWL in the concrete results in the formation of homogenous and evenly distributed cement binder, which brings about efficient binding of aggregates. The homogenous cement gel prevents the likely settlement of heavy coarse aggregates and checks the phenomenon of bleeding in fresh concrete The results of the laboratory tests carried out in accordance.

Dichtament® IWL should be added at a rate of 0.3 to 0.5% of cement weight subject to minimum of 1kg/m3 of the concrete mix. However, the exact quantity of Dichtament® IWL to be admixed in production of waterproof concrete conforms particular standards is best determined by conducting preliminary site tests.
