TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Idrosilex is an admixture with a base of special waterproofing agents manufactured from a formula developed in the Mapei research laboratories. Idrosilex is available in both powder and liquid form. When mixed with cement, sand, and water, Idrosilex produces an extremely compact mortar that is easy to apply with a trowel or rendering machine even on vertical walls. Mortar prepared with Idrosilex has less capillary porosity than conventional cement mortars or lime and cement mortars. The combination of the product’s waterproofing properties with an effective rendering system applied in several layers prevents continuity between pores and ensures thorough waterproofing even in the presence of counter-pressure.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Mortar prepared with Idrosilex forms a rigid waterproofing system and is therefore not recommended for:

• replacing flexible waterproof membranes;

• waterproofing structures subject to severe deformation under stress that may cause cracks to form;

• waterproofing fresh concrete, or concrete still subject to plastic shrinkage
