•Use as a hydrofobic impregnant agent:
Tap water is suitable for the preparation of dilutions of the product for use as a water-repellent facade. Dilutions of Athon WR 460 Emulsion in the ratio of 1:4 to 1:9 are recommended depending on how absorbent the substrate is. Always homogenize the concentrate and the diluted product before use. Apply dilution ready for use preferably by drenching. Two “wet on wet” coats are required to ensure complete coverage. If it starts to rain, stop the treatment and cover the impregnated areas.
•Use as an additive in concrete mixture
Pre-dilute Athon WR 460 Emulsion in a ratio of 1:4 with water. This premix should be added to the feed ratio of 1.0% to 5.0% of the cement content of the mixture. A significant reduction in water absorption can already be achieved at a concentration of 1.0% of the cement. The premix is added simultaneously or immediately after the mixing water – it should never be added together with other additives. The original water/cement ratio of the whole mix should be preserved – so the amount of water used in the premix should be discounted from the total water added. The longer the mixing time, the better the distribution of the product within the system, improving the additive effectiveness.
