o Porosity in plaster / concrete / mortar can easily show up
dampness on the substrates.
REASON.

7. 7
•Capillary System in the plaster / concrete induces the rising of
the water which creates dampness.
ROOT CAUSE – Capillaries in the substrate.
Mortar / Concrete without Integral
Waterproofing Compound
Discontinuity of Pore Tract Ensures No
Moisture Migration Within Concrete
Mass

OTHER PROBLEMS:
Concrete Dusting Plastic Shrinkage Cracks
Crazing Hairline Cracks

Why it happens:
 No control over water cement ratio
 e.g. either less water used while making plaster / concrete makes the mass dry post
curing of plaster and concrete resulting to cracks or dusting.
 Excess water used :
 Excess water used for achieving workability does not guarantee a homogeneous mix
of cement – sand / aggregates and results into separation of ingredients of plaster/
concrete (while laying concrete excess water leads to bleeding of cement – water
mix on top of the mass results into dusting in due course of time)
 No control on water cement ratio or less awareness about the role of water in
producing cement – sand plaster.
 Getting quality sand (silt free or less silt free as specified) also, plays vital role in
producing quality / homogeneous cement sand plaster / mortar.
ROOT CAUSE – Capillaries in the substrate.

• If capillary system in the concrete / plaster is broken, that will
hinder rising of the water through these capillaries thus will
control dampness.
• Further, these capillaries could be broken by reducing water
part.
Thus:
• Need to use an additives which can improve the workability of cement
sand plaster/mortar by reducing the demand of water & considering
the sand quality
• This additive improves plaster quality & strength by making it
homogeneous & impermeable.
• Thus solution is “Dr fixit Pidiproof LW+”
SOLUTION.

BENEFITS OF USING LW+.
1. Waterproofing Mortar & Concrete
– Reduction in porosity.
2. Resists corrosion which increases
life of concrete and mortar
3. Gives good Workability & makes
mix homogeneous
4. Increases Strength & Durability
