High‑Performance Polymer Additives for Cementitious Waterproofing Systems

❓

What Is Waterproof Mortar?

Waterproof mortar is a cement‑based mixture designed to prevent moisture penetration while maintaining strong adhesion and durability. Commonly used in basements, bathrooms, water tanks, swimming pools, and exterior walls, it forms a dense layer that resists water ingress.

⚡

Fórmula Avanzada

Unlike ordinary mortar, waterproof mortar contains functional chemical additives—such as cellulose ether (HPMC / MHEC), redispersible polymer powder (RDP), y polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE)—that enhance impermeability, flexibility, and long‑term strength.

Why Additives Matter in Waterproof Mortar

Performance additives are crucial for achieving a truly waterproof, crack‑resistant mortar. They modify the cement matrix to improve bonding, flexibility, and surface durability.

01
💧

HPMC / MHEC

Éter de celulosa

  • Retains moisture for full cement hydration
  • Improves workability, viscosity, and anti‑sag performance
  • Extends open time for convenient application
  • Enhances adhesion strength and surface consistency
02
🛡️

RDP

Polvo de Polímero Redisersible

  • Boosts tensile and bonding strength
  • Provides flexibility and crack resistance
  • Increases hydrophobicity and weather durability
  • Enhances film formation for long‑lasting waterproof layers
03
⚗️

PCE

Polycarboxylate Ether Superplasticizer

  • Reduces water demand without affecting workability
  • Increases mortar density and cohesion
  • Improves impermeability by minimizing capillary pores
  • Enhances flow for easier application and compaction
