Sikagard®-710 W

Siloxane-Based Hydrophobic Impregnation (Water Repellent)

Sikagard®-710 W is a one part water repellent hydrophobic impregnation for absorbent cementitious and other mineral substrates. It penetrates well into the open pores of the substrate, providing durable water repellency, while still allowing water vapour diffusion in both directions.
Sikagard®-710 W complies with the requirements of EN1504-2 for hydrophobic Impregnation (penetration depth class I).

  • Reduction of capillary water absorption.
  • Reduces efflorescence.
  • Reduces dirt penetration into the pores.
  • Reduces the growth of mould and fungi.
  • Water-based formulation with no strong odor and free from solvent.
  • Hydrophobic impregnation without film formation.
  • Does usually not change appearance of the substrate.
  • Reduces chloride ion ingress and movement.
  • Does not act as a vapour barrier.

Usage

Sikagard®-710 W is used as water repellent and colourless protective surface treatment on absorbent exposed materials such as concrete, cementitious rendering, concrete tiles, fibre cement, brickwork (clay and lime sand, non-vitrified), natural stone.
Sikagard®-710 W is used as water-repellent impregnation (hydrophobic treatment) for absorbent substrates such as on concrete surfaces in civil engineering applications, including bridges and other infrastructure structures or building concrete structures.
  • Suitable for protection against ingress (Principle 1, method 1.1 of EN 1504-9),
  • Suitable for moisture control (Principle 2, method 2.1 of EN 1504-9)
  • Suitable for increasing the resistivity (Principle 8, method 8.1 of EN 1504-9)  

Advantages

  • Reduction of capillary water absorption.
  • Reduces efflorescence.
  • Reduces dirt penetration into the pores.
  • Reduces the growth of mould and fungi.
  • Water-based formulation with no strong odor and free from solvent.
  • Hydrophobic impregnation without film formation.
  • Does usually not change appearance of the substrate.
  • Reduces chloride ion ingress and movement.
  • Does not act as a vapour barrier.
