Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super: Enhanced Waterproofing Optimized for M-Sand

Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super is an advanced integral liquid waterproofing compound specifically engineered to address the challenges of modern construction, particularly the increasing use of manufactured sand (M-Sand). This specialized formulation not only waterproofs concrete and mortar but also enhances their workability and durability.

Building upon the trusted foundation of Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+, the “Super” variant is composed of surface-active plasticizing agents, polymers, and specialized additives. Its primary distinction is its superior performance with M-Sand, which is known for its different particle shape and texture compared to natural river sand.

Key “Super” Feature: M-Sand Compatibility

The defining characteristic of Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super is its enhanced formulation that improves the cohesiveness and workability of concrete and mortar mixes that utilize M-Sand. This results in:

• Improved Workability: It facilitates easier placing and compaction of concrete and plaster, which can often be challenging with the angular and less graded particles of M-Sand.
• Reduced Water Demand: The specialized plasticizers help in achieving the desired consistency with a lower water-cement ratio, which is crucial for dense, waterproof, and strong concrete.
• Prevention of Segregation: It ensures a homogenous mix, preventing the separation of aggregates and cement paste, a common issue with M-Sand mixes.

Comprehensive Features and Benefits

Beyond its M-Sand compatibility, Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super offers a host of benefits for robust and long-lasting construction:

• Integral Waterproofing: It forms a watertight barrier within the concrete and plaster, effectively blocking the pores and capillaries that allow for water seepage.
• Corrosion Resistance: By creating a more cohesive and dense concrete matrix, it provides enhanced protection to the steel reinforcement bars against corrosion and degradation.
• Increased Strength and Durability: The formulation helps in maintaining the setting time and compressive strength of the concrete within specified limits, contributing to the overall longevity of the structure.
• Reduced Shrinkage Cracks: It minimizes the development of shrinkage cracks in both plaster and concrete, preserving the structural integrity and aesthetic finish.
• Cost-Effective: By improving the efficiency of the mix and providing long-term protection, it proves to be an economical solution for durable construction.

Primary Applications

This versatile waterproofing admixture is ideal for a wide array of applications in both new construction and renovation projects:

• Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC): Suitable for slabs, beams, columns, and foundations.
• Water Retaining Structures: Ideal for waterproofing water tanks, sumps, and reservoirs.
• Plastering: Can be used for both internal and external plastering to prevent dampness.
• Mortars: Enhances the properties of cement-sand mortars for various applications.

Method of Application

For optimal performance, the recommended dosage is 200 ml of Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super for every 50 kg bag of cement. The mixing procedure involves adding the admixture to the gauging water before it is introduced to the dry mix of cement and aggregates.

In essence, Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ Super is a technologically advanced solution that not only provides superior waterproofing but also addresses the practical challenges posed by contemporary construction materials like M-Sand, ensuring a more resilient and durable end result.
