Product Description

Mapei Mapecrete Creme Protection has been developed as a solvent-free, water-soluble silane-based, thixotropic impregnating cream, ideal for hydrophobic treatment of concrete.

Best Uses

Mapecrete Creme Protection will protect the surface of concrete floors or walls against capillary penetration of water, the ingress of chlorides or other pollutants and continuous exposure of surfaces during freeze/thaw cycles. Mapecrete Creme Protection is particularly recommended for horizontal and vertical concrete surfaces exposed to atmospheric agents, on concrete structures and infrastructures such as bridges, roads, floor joists, concrete buildings in general and concrete floors.

  • Excellent reduction in chlorides and water absorption
  • Protection against attack by de-icing salts
  • Excellent resistance to alkalis
  • Excellent level of penetration into the concrete
  • Helps the bond of successive painting cycles
  • Solvent-free
  • Water dispersion product
  • Compatible with the environment
  • Low VOC content
  • Thixotropic

The special formulation of Mapei Mapecrete Creme Protection makes it suitable for application on both porous and well-compacted concrete. Mapecrete Creme Protection has been formulated to protect surfaces against the ingress of chlorides, one of the primary causes of the deterioration of reinforcement steel in concrete. Mapei Mapecrete Creme Protection is suitable for marine environments due to the high capillary-penetration capacity and high concentration of silane contained in the impregnator allowing the product to form an excellent chemical bond with the treated concrete. This will guarantee a complete, long-lasting hydrophobic treatment.

Application

Preparation of the substrate
The surface of the concrete must be sound, perfectly clean, dry and free of all traces of dust, grease and form release agent. Make sure that new concrete surfaces are well cured. Sand the surface, remove all dust and wash the surface before starting application of the product. Any cement laitance present on the surface to be treated must be removed mechanically.

Application of the product
Spread Mapecrete Creme Protection directly on the surface with a squeegee, an airless spray gun, by brush or with a roller. Mapecrete Creme Protection may be applied in one or two coats, according to the absorption and condition of the concrete substrate. Immediately after applying the product, the surface turns a whitish colour with a creamy consistency which then becomes transparent when dry (from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the absorption of the concrete). Thanks to the thixotropic consistency of the product, it may also be applied on vertical surfaces.
