Water repellent impregnation for architectural concrete
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: water repellent impregnation, a colorless preparation for impregnation of mineral surfaces, based on silicone resins and water glass.
FIELD OF APPLICATION: colorless protection against rain with hydrophobization, concrete, elements of concrete structures, plasters, cellular concrete, cladding bricks, concrete facade panels, natural stone. Examples of use: protection of architectural concrete slabs against intense soiling, preventive protection of architectural concrete against carbonation, colorless hydrophobic protection of historic and historical buildings or buildings with specific architecture, hydrophobic protection of concrete walls and walls made of brick, synthetic stone and absorbent ceramic tiles.

It depends on where you use concrete slabs. Concrete impregnation is not always necessary, but in some places and situations it is recommended or even required. Here are the guidelines:
1. Where to impregnate concrete:
- Bathrooms, kitchens and external facades: In these places, concrete slabs will be exposed to direct contact with water, moisture and dirt, so impregnation is necessary. A hydrophobic impregnation is then used to protect the concrete from moisture, stains and dirt.
- Stairs and hallways: In these places, concrete impregnation is also recommended, especially due to the frequency of use and the possibility of dirt.
- External facades: Concrete on the outside should always be impregnated to protect it from atmospheric factors such as rain, frost and UV radiation.
2. Where impregnation is not necessary:
- Internal walls, e.g. behind the TV (RTV): In rooms where concrete is not directly exposed to water, impregnation is not necessary, but optional.
3. Rust effect slabs:
In the case of concrete slabs with a rust effect, impregnation is always recommended, unless the rust staining effect is not a problem.
For corten (rust) slabs, we only use spray impregnation. Impregnation with a roller or brush can destroy the pattern on the surface of the slab.
Benefits of impregnation:
- Increases the durability of concrete,
- Protects against moisture, dirt and stains,
- Makes it easier to clean and maintain the slabs.
