ImperGuard® SV

Solvent-based water repellent for concrete

ImperGuard® SV is a highly efficient solvent-based product designed to protect concretes against water penetration.

ImperGuard® SV significantly reduces capillary absorption of water. This outstanding performance deeply protects porous and low porous concretes against penetration by precipitation.

ImperGuard® SV thus eliminates negative effects caused by humidity : erosion, degradation due to continuous ‘freezethaw’ cycles, efflorescence, saltpeter, development of micro-organisms, etc.

ImperGuard® SV is a non-film forming impregnation product, the material is still permeable to air and water vapour. Completely colourless after application, it does not change the appearance or the nature of the treated material. It is also fully resistant to UV rays and does not yellow over time.

Surface preparation :

  • 1
    The conditions of application and substrate preparation must comply with French unified code of practice DTU 59.1.
  • 2
    Apply the product to a clean, dust-free, grease-free and dry surface.
  • 3
    Clean using Guard Cleaner® Surface Preparation to open up the porosity of the concrete and allow optimum grip of the protection. This step also allows the elimination of traces of efflorescence, laitance or cement bloom. Repeat the operation in case of persistent traces.
  • 4
    To remove grease stains, use Guard Cleaner® Maintenance.
  • 5
    Rinse carefully until the surface is free of any trace of cleaner.
  • 6
    Wait for complete drying through, approximately 24 hours before treatment.

Application :

  • Use the product in its pure form: do not dilute it.
  • Shake the packaging well before use and carry out a preliminary test.
  • Apply the product in one layer.
  • Let the product penetrate and dry (from 10 to 60 min)
  • Do not overload the material, remove any excess with a soft cloth dabbing the material before drying.
  • The surface must be protected for 24 hours (rain, grease, etc.).
  • Optimum efficiency of the product obtained after 48 hours.
