CONCRETE COATING / HYDROPHOBISATION

Concrete is robust and durable, but it wears over time due to traffic and weather conditions. A hydrophobic coating can provide additional protection. Our innovative surface protection system, which was especially developed to reduce water absorption on concrete surfaces according to DIN EN 1504 as OS-A system. With our high-quality materials, we offer effective protection for traffic areas and extend their useful life. Our OS-A system has already been successfully used on more than 2,000,000 sqm of traffic areas. You can rely on our long-standing experience too.

WATER NEEDS TO
STAY OUTSIDE NOW.

APPLICATION

Comprehensive protection against various stresses and concrete damage

Prevention of water and de-icing salts getting into the concrete – the damage caused by alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is stopped and thus the risk of the surfaces’ cracking or being ruined by chipping is significantly minimised

Possible applications in concrete with ASR damage potential

  • Concrete traffic areas (for example, for airports, roads and industry),
  • Railway sleepers and slab tracks
  • General concrete components (for example, supporting elements, brick roads)
  • Bridge structures
  • Tunnel surfaces and walls

Other possible applications for the hydrophobic treatment of mineral substrates

  • Dirt repellence (anti-graffiti protection)
  • Reduction of water absorption (absorbency)
