Description

Durex® Acrotel WRS Water-Repellent Sealer is a single-component, acrylic copolymer, VOC-compliant concrete & masonry sealer for porous substrates. It is formulated to be used as a high-performance non-film forming, water-repellent penetrating sealer to protect all types of concrete and masonry.

Advantages
  • VOC compliant; lower VOCs than silane-based sealers
  • Alkali resistant
  • Excellent moisture vapour transmission
  • Non-Film Forming. Invisible when cured.
  • Retains matte surface of concrete / masonry
  • Meets the requirements of ASTM C-309 for unit moisture loss (< 0.055 gm/cm2 of surface at 72 hours) and ASTM C-1315 for water retention
  • Longer lasting properties of water repellency than any silane-based sealer (minimum 5 years)
  • Unlike saline-based sealers, humidity or moisture does not limit the application and properties
Uses

Durex® Acrotel WRS Water-Repellent Sealer for Porous Substrates is to be used as a water repellent for the purpose of waterproofing and sealing masonry surfaces, stucco and concrete. It replaces harmful silane-based masonry sealers.
