Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ is a specially formulated integral liquid waterproofing compound composed of surface active plasticising agents, polymers and additives. It is used as an additive for cement concrete, mortar and plasters to enhance the properties of cement to impart waterproofing property and thereby provide benefits like no rusting of steel bars, no cracks and no dampness. Unique cement additive for plaster/ concrete from foundation to roof.
Uses:
- Waterproofing: It serves as an integral waterproofing admixture that prevents water penetration in concrete and mortar.
- Durability Improvement: Enhances the durability of concrete structures by reducing water-induced damage and corrosion of reinforcement bars.
- Workability: Improves the workability of concrete and mortar, making them easier to mix, apply, and finish.
