Dichtament DS2: one component membrane forming waterproofing by crystallisation

Dichtament DS2: one component membrane forming waterproofing by crystallisationDichtament DS2 is one-component waterproofing system for concrete, brick, masonry or cement-bound surfaces. Dichtament DS2 is a combination of hydraulically setting pulverised material and selected polymers and produces outstanding waterproof surfaces. Dichtament DS2 waterproofing system works on the principle of waterproofing by crystallisation and forms an integral part of cement substrates. The crystalline penetration takes place by osmosis, and the treatment penetrates concrete even against hydrostatic pressure.Dichtament DS2 imparts hydrophobic impermeability to water and dampness to coated surfaces. Coated surfaces are efflorescence free, moss resistant and resistant to fungus growth. Dichtament DS2 maintains the breathing properties of concrete. Due to excellent adhesion and thixotropic properties, vertical and inclined surfaces can be easily coated. It is resistant to alkalis and UV rays. Dichtament DS2 provides outstanding waterproof and damp-proof coat for concrete structures, brick and masonry works, cement renderings, plasters, underground shafts and garages, retaining walls, tunnels, water tanks, roof slabs, sewers and basements etc. It can be used for resurfacing of bathrooms, cellar walls and floors exposed to dampness and attacks from moss and fungus. Dichtament DS2 also protects foundation walls and footings subjected to ground moisture, and water and salt efflorescence.Dichtament DS2 should be applied in two operations. A minimum coat thickness of 2 mm is recommended when Dichtament DS2 is directly subjected to water pressure.  In case of sandwiched system, the thickness of Dichtament DS2 can be between 1-2 mm depending upon actual site conditions. Subsequent coats may be applied when the previous coat is not completely dried out, subject to minimum of 1 hour. Care should be taken to protect the coating from being damaged during subsequent operations. The coating of Dichtament DS/DS2 must be cured by clean water to avoid rapid hardening for at least 7 days.MC-Bauchemie (India) Pvt.
