Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super – Integral Liquid Waterproofing

Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super: Advanced Integral Liquid Waterproofing for Plaster and Concrete

For demanding construction projects, you need an advanced waterproofing solution. Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super is a cutting-edge integral liquid waterproofing compound designed to enhance the quality and longevity of plaster and concrete. It is added directly to the mixing water, where its active chemicals reduce the permeability of the cement matrix, effectively blocking the passage of water through capillary action.

This “Super” variant offers enhanced performance over standard liquid waterproofers. By drastically reducing water absorption and minimizing shrinkage cracks, Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super ensures that basements, foundations, water tanks, and exterior walls remain dry and free from damp patches and efflorescence.

Why Choose Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super?

LW+ Super is built for high-reliability applications, offering superior benefits:

• Enhanced Waterproofing: Provides higher protection against water ingress and dampness compared to basic liquid waterproofers.
• Improved Plaster Quality: Enhances the workability of the mortar, leading to a denser, more cohesive, and smoother plaster finish.
• Reduced Shrinkage: Helps control plastic and drying shrinkage in both concrete and mortar, minimizing surface cracking.
• Increased Life: Prevents corrosion of steel reinforcement by reducing moisture penetration, thereby increasing the lifespan of the structure.

Key Features of Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super

• Integral Admixture: Provides waterproofing throughout the depth of the mortar or concrete.
• Non-Chloride: Safe for use in reinforced cement concrete (RCC) as it does not promote corrosion of steel.
• High Compatibility: Works seamlessly with all standard types of Portland cement.
• Efflorescence Control: Minimizes the unsightly white salt deposits that appear on masonry surfaces due to dampness.

Recommended Application Areas

This premium liquid waterproofing additive is essential for:

• Critical Structures: Plastering and concreting of areas requiring maximum dampness protection, such as basements and lift pits.
• Water Retaining Structures: Overheads tanks, sumps, and boundary walls exposed to hydrostatic pressure.
• External Walls: Protecting building facades and parapet walls from severe monsoon conditions, used before applying exterior paint.
• Wet Areas: Mortar for bedding and grouting tiles in bathrooms and kitchens.

How to Use Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super (Dosage & Mixing)

1. Measure Dosage: Use 200 ml of Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super for every 50 kg bag of cement. Maintain a water-cement ratio of 0.4.
2. Premix: Add the exact measured dosage of the product into the total gauging water. Stir well to mix completely.
3. Mixing: Use this fortified water to mix the cement, sand, and aggregate until a homogeneous mortar or concrete is achieved. Avoid dry mixing the product with cement/sand.
4. Application: Apply the waterproofed plaster or concrete using appropriate construction techniques. Cure the repaired or newly plastered area properly as per standard practice. See expert techniques for maximizing concrete lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is LW+ Super compatible with other admixtures?
A: Generally, it is best used alone. If you must use another additive (like a superplasticizer), conduct a site compatibility test first.

Q: Does this product affect the setting time of the mortar?
A: Used at the recommended dosage, Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super should not significantly alter the initial or final setting time of the cement.

Q: Can this be used in combination with crack fillers?
A: Yes, it is used in the bulk plaster/concrete mix. Cracks (like those over 5mm) should still be pre-treated using appropriate crack fillers and repair polymers.
