Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ (101) – Integral Liquid Waterproofing for Cement

Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW Plus: Integral Liquid Waterproofing for Concrete and Plaster

For decades, **Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW Plus** has been the trusted standard for integral liquid waterproofing in construction. This classic compound is specifically designed to be mixed directly into cement mortar and concrete, where its unique formulation chemically acts to reduce the porosity and water permeability of the matrix. This is essential for protecting buildings against water damage, efflorescence, and dampness.

By effectively blocking the capillary pores, **Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW Plus** ensures that water cannot easily pass through the plaster or concrete layer. It is a cost-effective, time-tested solution for contractors and homeowners looking to build long-lasting, damp-free structures from the foundation up.

Why Choose Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW Plus?

LW Plus offers proven benefits for improved construction quality:

• Reliable Waterproofing: Provides dependable water resistance to cement plaster and concrete, preventing damp patches and leakage.
• Improved Workability: Acts as a mortar plasticizer, making the mix smoother and easier to spread, leading to better compaction and a denser finish.
• Reduced Shrinkage Cracks: Helps control drying and plastic shrinkage, minimizing the development of fine cracks in the finished plaster.
• Ease of Use: Simple dosage and quick incorporation into the mixing water, making application easy on site.

Key Features of Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW Plus

• Integral Admixture: Waterproofs the material throughout its depth, not just the surface.
• Non-Chloride: Safe for use in reinforced concrete (RCC) as it will not corrode steel reinforcement.
• High Compatibility: Compatible with all common types of Portland cement.
• Economical: Provides a high degree of waterproofing performance at a low cost per bag of cement.

Recommended Application Areas

This liquid waterproofing additive is vital for:

• Foundations & Basements: Protecting subterranean structures from ground moisture.
• External Walls: Used in plaster to shield building facades from heavy rain and dampness, before applying exterior paint.
• Water Retaining Structures: Concreting and plastering of sumps, overhead tanks, and underground tanks.
• Wet Areas: Mortar for screeds and plastering in bathrooms and kitchens.
