Influence of Cracks[3]

• Objective of the Study:• To show the influence of crack in the effectiveness

of hydrophobic treatment using different types of product (high active content silane liquid or cream, low active content silane/siloxane)

• Summary of the results: Importance of the type of product used in the durability

behaviour Best performance achieved with cream Silane No long term protection achieved with low active

silane/siloxane Effective protection achieved even if the treatment occurs

before the crack appears

13For Different Substrates

Concrete Brick Natural & Artificial Stone

Standard Tests (Alberta B388)Requirement (example)

Sealer Type Water uptake in % to a control non treated

Before Abrasion After Abrasion

Type 1a 82,5% 75%

Type 1b - 86%

Type 1c - 85%*

Note*: 144 grams abrasion instead of usual 72 grams for type 1a & 1b

16

StandardsCanada (Alberta B388):

Requirements: Reduction of water uptake after surface abrasion Reduction of water uptake after alkali exposure Water vapour transmission Etc.

Other Standards: Quebec Department of Transport MTQ Standard 3601

In general, there are three different levels of these Sika protection systems:

System 1:Durable concrete protection

System 2:Durable concrete andreinforcement protection

System 3:High performance protectionfor extreme conditions

Standard Tests (Alberta B388)Classification:

Type 1: Penetrating sealers for use of traffic bearing exposed to abrasion

Type 1a: for sheltered conditions – relative moisture content of substrate not

exceeding 55% Type 1b: for outdoor condition where the relative

moisture content of substrate not exceeding 70%

Type 1c: low VOC, high performance. For application in outdoor

conditions to new bridges and overlays cast with low water cement ratio

(0,30 – 0,45) where the relative moisture content is maximum 80%
