Solvent-based water repellent for concrete
Brand:
- ImperGuard® SV is a highly efficient solvent-based product designed to protect concretes against water penetration.
- ImperGuard® SV significantly reduces capillary absorption of water. This outstanding performance deeply protects porous and low porous concretes against penetration by precipitation.
- ImperGuard® SV thus eliminates negative effects caused by humidity : erosion, degradation due to continuous ‘freezethaw’ cycles, efflorescence, saltpeter, development of micro-organisms, etc.
- ImperGuard® SV is a non-film forming impregnation product, the material is still permeable to air and water vapour. Completely colourless after application, it does not change the appearance or the nature of the treated material. It is also fully resistant to UV rays and does not yellow over time.
- All types of concretes: standard, reinforced, fibre, high-performance (UHPC, GRC)
- Facades and walls
- New and old
- Exterior and interior
Surface preparation :
-
The conditions of application and substrate preparation must comply with French unified code of practice DTU 59.1.
-
Apply the product to a clean, dust-free, grease-free and dry surface.
-
Clean using Guard Cleaner® Surface Preparation to open up the porosity of the concrete and allow optimum grip of the protection. This step also allows the elimination of traces of efflorescence, laitance or cement bloom. To renew in case of persistent traces.
-

- The surface must be protected for 24 hours (rain, grease, etc.).
- Optimum efficiency of the product obtained after 48 hours.
