Fields of application

DURAHIT^® Concrete Impregnation 160 is a premium impregnation system especially designed for achieving depth hydrophobation for optimum protection in demanding concrete projects. The impregnation is suitable for concrete with advanced requirements in durability and quality and where it deserves protection against water, weather and chemical loads.DURAHIT^® Concrete Impregnation 160 is particularly suitable for the application in:
>  Concrete Traffic Areas in Airport Constructions like Runways, Aprons, Parking Areas
>  Concrete Traffic Areas in Road Constructions
like High- and Motorways
>  New Jersey Barriers
>  Tunnel Constructions
>  Sea Ports
>  Buildings and Bridges
>  Industrial flooring

The depth impregnation system achieves a very effective protection mechanism which provides the following benefits:
>  Optimum water repellence
>  Decreased steel corrosion
>  Increased frost- and thawing salt resistance
>  Enhanced resistance against defects
These properties lead to advantages
˃ Reduced maintenance costs
˃ Attractive long-term appearance
> Contribution to Sustainability

Working principle

DURAHIT^® Concrete Impregnation 160 deeply enters the concrete structure and reacts with its cement-based substrates in order to generate a hydrophobic capillary system. This effect reduces the capillary suction and decreases concrete’s water absorption abilities. As a result, the absorption of water and its therein dissolved substances is minimised. Concrete’s frost- and freeze-thawing salt resistance is significantly increased. The applied protective film is not yellowing, is weather-proof (UV-stable), permeable to water vapour and resistant against alkali loads.
