Applications for the construction industry

A range of construction materials is hydrophobised in the construction industry. The background for this is the tendency of many construction materials to absorb water. This water absorbency is brought about by the characteristics of the construction materials themselves and due to interaction with the prevalent climate and weathering at the respective location (rain, snow, air moisture, air pressure, sun, etc.). The properties of alkali soaps and metal soaps are used for hydrophobising. Depending on the use and desired effect, our products offer immediate or time-delayed or combined hydrophobising. Hydrophobising with HERWEMAG products takes place over the entire cross-section of the system, which generally results in a very good long-term effect.

Our HERWEMAG products cover the complete range for the hydrophobisation of mineral systems.
