Sikagard®-706 Thixo - Silane-ased Impregnation Cream
Verified by manufacturer 3 days ago
A one-component reactive silane-based impregnation cream.
Application
Sikagard®-706 Thixo is used as water-repellent impregnation (hydrophobic treatment) for absorbent substrates such as concrete in civil engineering or building concrete structures subjected to heavy stress due to freeze and thaw cycles and de-icing salts or chloride attack in marine environment:
- 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).
Description
Sikagard®-706 Thixo is a one-component reactive silane-based impregnation cream.
It is a solvent-free product with ~80% content of active substance. Sikagard®-706 Thixo complies with the highest requirements of EN 1504-2 for hydrophobic Impregnation (penetration depth class II and resistance to freeze and thaw salt stresses).
Features and benefits:
- Non-sag (thixotropic) consistency, allowing wastage-free application of sufficient quantities and assuring deep penetration.
- Reduction of water absorption.
- Reduction of absorption of aggressive or deleterious agents dissolved in water (i.e. de-icing salts or chloride from marine environment).
- No noticeable change of water vapour permeability.
- Not film forming.
- Ready for use.
- Long term efficiency, deep penetration.
- Increases the resistance of concrete to freeze and thaw cycles and de-icing salts.
- Resistant to sea water.
- Low VOC content.
