Eucon Baracade WPT is a water repellent admixture for concrete based on a unique silicone polymer-based emulsion technology, effective in protecting poured and precast concrete where harsh exposure and/or decorative appeal are of concern. As the concrete sets, the pores and capillaries within the concrete are lined with water repellent components. This makes the concrete resistant to low-pressure permeability, or moisture “wicking", which reduces the potential for surface scaling, spalling, and other weather- related damage. For decorative, integrally-colored concrete this wetting resistance promotes faster drying. As a result, efflorescence potential is reduced and color vibrancy is preserved.
Typical Applications:
- Driveways, patios, sidewalks
- Architectural precast concrete
- Decorative, integrally colored concrete
Benefits:
- Resists freeze-thaw degradation
- Resists deicing chemical attack
- Preserves color vibrancy
- Reduces potential for efflorescence
Additional Features:
- Has minimal effect on other concrete properties
- Is consistent throughout the mix
- Becomes a permanent part of the concrete matrix
- Extends the service life of exterior concrete
- Maintains surface integrity & visual appeal
