Pudlo Economy Waterproofing Cement Admixture 1kg Powder

Pudlo Economy Waterproofing Powder

The Pudlo Economy Waterproofing Cement is an integral powder admixture formulated to significantly reduce the permeability of concrete, mortar, and cement renders. This chemical additive works by filling the microscopic voids within the cement matrix during the hydration process. It is a vital component for projects requiring enhanced resistance to moisture ingress and capillary rise in sub-grade or exposed structures.

Built for the Job

Site supervisors and masonry contractors specify this admixture for various damp-proofing applications where a cost-effective solution is required. The 1kg unit provides a convenient measurement for standard site-mixed batches, ensuring consistent dosing across the project. It is particularly effective in residential and commercial construction for areas in direct contact with soil or high-humidity environments. By reducing the water absorption of the cured material, it helps prevent efflorescence and protects internal finishes from damp damage.

• External rendering of boundary walls and building facades to resist driving rain.

• Basement tanking and floor screeds to provide a barrier against rising moisture.

• Construction of water-retaining structures like small tanks, ponds, and pits.

Product Highlights

Permeability Reduction

The chemical composition of this powder blocks the capillary pores in the cement paste to stop water travel.

Mix Optimization

• Increases the workability of the wet mix without requiring excessive water.
• Reduces the risk of shrinkage cracks during the drying and curing phase.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x 1kg Bag of Pudlo Economy Waterproofing Admixture

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always dry-mix the waterproofing powder with the cement before adding sand and water to ensure even distribution.

• Ensure the sand used in the mortar is clean and well-graded to maximize the effectiveness of the additive.

• Keep the product in a cool, dry place and protect the bag from moisture to prevent clumping before use.

• Proper curing of the finished render or concrete is essential to achieve the full rated water resistance of the system.
