Bikol^® Capillary Barrier + is a gel-based silane monomer for repellent treatment of masonry subject to capillary rising damp.

Bikol^® Capillary Barrier + is an easy to use product, filling small holes made at the base of the masonry.

Bikol^® Capillary Barrier + (5 kg.) can be injected with the M-Power 50Z, the M-Power 30Z or a similar type of injection pump.

Strenghts:

• Bikol^® Capillary Barrier + is a waterproofing cream ready to use;
• Its thixotropy allows use in horizontal holes without the product drains out from the hole;
• The product is well distributed in porous media ensuring a homogeneous migration several centimetres through the pores and capillaries of the masonry;
• Treatment with Bikol^® Capillary Barrier + gives the high masonry hydrophobic, so the blockade of capillary rise and at the same time an unchanged breathability to water vapor;
• Easy injection through gun;
• pH 7-8.

It is ideal for:

• Indoors and outdoors porous brickwork, built with solid bricks and/or stone, rock and tuff;

Preparing the surfaces:

1. Remove all existing deteriorated plaster up to a height that exceeds the obvious maximum line of rising damp by at least 30 cm.
2. Make a sequence of horizontal blind holes with a diameter of 14 mm, at a distance of 12 cm, approximately 10 cm above the ground. The holes should preferably be aligned horizontally and implemented, where possible, following the course of the mortar joints of bricks or stones that make up the masonry.
3. The depth of the holes should be 4-5 cm less than the thickness of the wall.
4. Once the holes have been drilled, clean them out by blowing or vacuuming out any residues.

Instruction for application:

1. Made holes in the masonry, put in Bikol^® Capillary Barrier + through manual reciprocating pump to achieve a complete filling of the holes avoid trapping air inside. To avoid it, it’s enough to use a tube/extension and fill the hole from the bottom and not vice versa.
2. Filled the holes, seal them with a bit of mortar.

Follow the course of the mortar joints of bricks or stones that make up the masonry:

Indicative Consumption*:

Bikol^® Capillary Barrier +: 12 ml./m. for every cm of thickness of the wall.

Ex.: if I need to waterproof brickwork that is 8 m long and 25 cm thick: (8 m. x 25 cm. x 12 ml.) = 2400 ml. (1 pail)

* Indicative consumption of cartridges of Bikol^® Capillary Barrier + required to work on one linear of masonry, according to the thickness of the wall. The values are provided purely as a guideline as they can vary, even substantially, based on the surface.
