Bond It INTEGRAL WATERPROOFER reacts with free lime in the mortar to form hydrophobic crystals which block the pores, thereby improving the water resistance of the mix. A secondary benefit of the product is to improve the plasticity of the mix making it easier to use. It also retards suction in multi-layer renders. Suitable for use on renderings, retaining walls, swimming pools, roof screeds, basey.
This guide is for builders, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts looking to enhance the water resistance of their cement and mortar mixes. The Bond It Integral Waterproofer improves water penetration resistance, making your structures more durable. A key benefit is the enhanced plasticity of the mix, making it easier to work with. Note that proper application and adherence to mixing ratios are crucial for optimal results.
