DESCRIPTION

Feb Febproof Plus reduces water absorption and makes mortar or non-structural concrete less permeable. Due to its strong air-entraining plasticiser, the water-to-cement ratio is much lower for the same workability.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Improves weathering properties.
• Reduced suction aids pebble-dashing – larger areas covered easily. 
• Improves water resistance. 
• Reduces onset of efflorescence. 
• Improved application properties. 
• Supplements/replaces lime. 
• Drying shrinkage, crazing and cracking reduced.
• Improved frost resistance.
• Contains a highly hydrophobic material which is dispersed throughout the mix and thus reduces moisture penetration.
• Feb Febproof Plus also entrains air and this reduces capillary and water channel development, thus ensuring greatly increased water tightness and resistance to frost. In addition, due to its plasticising action, reductions in water content of up to 20% are attained. Feb® Febproof Plus slightly retards the mix, e.g. a 3:1 sand/cement mix will be retarded by about up to an hour.

USES

• Feb Febproof Plus is suitable for use in rendering finishes and pointing mortars. It is also used in reconstructed stone and non-structural concrete members.
  ▪ External rendering
  ▪ Special finishes
  ▪ Pebbledash
  ▪ Roughcast
  ▪ Stucco, etc
  ▪ Reconstructed stone

LIMITATIONS

• Do not use in structural concrete. 
• Not intended as a DPC replacement. 
• Will not withstand permanent hydrostatic pressure.
• For tanking applications, use in conjunction with DPM.
• NOTE: final finish does not repel water. If a water-repellent finish is required, coat render/screed etc with FEBSILICON.
• To avoid excessive air entrainment, do not overdose or over mix. Always premix this product with gauging water – never add direct to mix. Do not mix with other additives in same gauging water.
• Dispose of this product and packaging correctly.  Do not allow to enter watercourse. It is the user’s responsibility to determine suitability for use. If in doubt, please contact Technical Services Department for further advice.
