Standards compliance
Cebex 031 is suitable for use in the production of cement
based waterproof renders as described in clause 4.1.7 of BS
8102: "Code of practice for Protection of structures against
water from the ground".
Brown liquid
Typically 1.04 at 20oC
Nil to BS 5075
Description
Cebex 031 chloride free integral waterproofing admixture is
based on a blend of hydrophobic and air entraining
surfactants. It is supplied as a pink solution, which instantly
disperses in water.
The surfactants in Cebex 031 react in the cement: sand
mixture to produce insoluble hydrophobic precipitates. These
have a two-fold effect in reducing the permeability of the mix
as they both repel moisture, due to their hydrophobic nature,
and act as pore blocking agents to reduce the interconnectivity of porosity in the mix.
Technical support
Fosroc provides a technical advisory service for on-site
assistance and advice on admixture selection, evaluation
trials and dispensing equipment. Technical data and guidance
can be provided for admixtures and other products for use
with fresh and hardened concrete and mortar.
Terminology
The terms 'waterproof' and 'waterproofing' are often used
within the construction industry when referring to
concrete or mortar designed to minimize penetration by
water and other aggressive materials. This usage can be
misleading, as it is impossible to produce truly
waterproof concrete or mortar; in the strict sense of the
word this would require the complete exclusion of water
from the concrete.
British and European standards deprecate the terms
'waterproof' and 'waterproofing' when referring to the
performance of admixtures. On this data sheet, the term
'waterproof' should be understood to indicate concrete or
mortar designed to minimize water penetration. The term
is used to aid in understanding of the intention behind
the use of an admixture in this way and is not intended to
indicate that any concrete or mortar so produced will be
completely impermeable to water.
