Water Repellent Solution-Nippon Paint Malaysia

Waterproofing is the process of making an object or structure to be water-resistant so it remains relatively unaffected by water or resisting the ingress of water under specified conditions.

Water resistant and waterproof often is being referred to penetrate water in its liquid state and possibly under pressure, whereas damp proof normally refers to resistance to humidity or dampness.

Often used in building structures (basements, decks, or wet areas), watercraft, canvas, clothing (raincoats or waders), electronic devices and paper packaging (such as cartons for liquids).

In modern times, items may be waterproofed by the application of water-repellent coatings or by sealing seams with gaskets or O-rings. Such items can be used in wet environments or under water to specified depths.

Water Repellent Solution (EF) is a solvent-based impregnating agent based on silane/siloxane mixture. It serves as high-quality impregnating agent for exterior concrete protection and also can be used as a primer for silicone emulsion paint for masonry substrate.  It can reduce the capillary absorption of construction materials without blocking their pores and capillaries. Therefore, it will not affect the diffusion permeability. As a result, water vapors can escape unhindered from the masonry, and any damp can dry out.
