Features & Benefits

• Applied to a porous surface, Antipluviol penetrates deeply and reacts with natural humidity to form a water-repellent layer inside pores and capillaries
• Forms an efficient barrier against aggressive agents present in the atmosphere, which are carried into the material by rainwater
• Does not form a film on the surface, therefore the material’s permeability to water vapour is not modified and the appearance of the surface remains practically unaltered
• Excellent resistance to the alkalinity present in cement materials and to ultraviolet rays

Recommendations & Limitations

• Impregnation with Antipluviol is unsuitable for waterproofing:
• Horizontal surfaces (terraces)
• Basements
• Water tanks
• Walls subject to rising damp carrying salts
• Lift wells and areas subject to water under pressure
• Gypsum surfaces
• Synthetic plasters and surfaces decorated with synthetic paint
• Carry out a preliminary test to ensure no colour changes take place on the substrate when Antipluviol is to be used on natural stones, coloured renders or on other types of substrates which show no uniform absorbency
• Do not apply Antipluviol on damp substrates or on substrates that are not well cured
• Do not apply Antipluviol if the temperature is lower than 5°C or higher than 35°C (the surface must be dry in all cases and must never be exposed to direct sunlight)
• Do not apply Antipluviol if the level of humidity is higher than 85%
• Do not apply Antipluviol if it is about to rain or in windy weather
• Please refer to the “Safety instructions for preparation and application” section in the data sheet
