Hydrophobic impregnations are specialized products that protect surfaces against moisture and water. These products contain silicones, which repel water and dirt, and the impregnated surface remains clean for a long time. They also prevent the formation of rust and moisture on the surface.
Impregnation is an easy and cheap way to provide substrates with hydrophobic properties.
How to use a hydrophobic impregnation
Impregnations should be used on porous, unpainted substrates so that they can penetrate deeply into the surface. The general rules for using impregnations may vary and depend on the type of surface on which we want to apply the product and the form of the preparation. However, there are several important rules that should be followed when using these products.
Remember to properly prepare the surface, i.e. clean the surface of dust, sand and other contaminants with detergents or cleaning agents intended for this purpose. Remember that the surface should be completely dry before applying the product and always apply the impregnation according to the manufacturer's instructions! In the case of spray products, apply an even layer at an appropriate distance from the surface. When using liquid or gel products, apply the hydrophobic impregnation with a brush, roller or sponge and work in batches - this way you will avoid streaks and stains.
Impregnations should not be used on surfaces that we want to paint in the future - this will not be possible for 3 to 6 years!
The use of hydrophobic impregnations
Due to their properties, hydrophobic impregnations are used in many areas and industries. Thanks to them, you will extend the life of materials and ensure the aesthetic appearance of the surface for many years.
Impregnations are often used in construction, where they protect surfaces such as concrete, plaster, brick, stone or roof tiles. They provide protection against water absorption, weather conditions, and the development of fungi and mold.
Impregnating products are also perfect for protecting fabrics and clothing, wood, metals, glass and ceramics.
