Spillage and environmental:

Readily biodegradable.

Mobility: Store upright and ensure the container is tightly closed.

Accidental release: Stop the leak if possible without risk. DO NOT touch spilled material. Do not discharge into drains or rivers. Contain the spillage using bunding, then absorb it into dry earth or sand. Transfer to a closable, labelled salvage container for disposal by an appropriate method.

Mortar Waterproofer is a specialised chemical additive or sealant designed to significantly reduce or entirely prevent the infiltration of water into mortar, concrete, or other construction materials. This innovative product is crucial for enhancing the water resistance of various structures, particularly in environments prone to moisture, such as basements, foundations, and areas exposed to high humidity.

Mortar Waterproofer can be introduced into the mortar mix either before or after it is combined with water, depending on the manufacturer's specific guidelines and the intended application. When integrated into the mortar mixture, these waterproofer additives work to create a robust, water-resistant matrix. They achieve this by chemically altering the properties of the mortar, reducing its permeability and making it increasingly difficult for water to penetrate through the material.

Applications of Mortar Waterproofer are vital in safeguarding buildings from potential water damage, mould growth, and structural deterioration. By utilising this product, builders and homeowners can ensure the longevity and stability of their structures, particularly in areas where water intrusion is a concern. Whether used in new construction or as a remedial measure for existing structures, Mortar Waterproofer plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of masonry and concrete work.
