Exposed concrete surfaces are exposed to numerous environmental influences. These often lead to unsightly changes to the surface and even damage to the building structure. Modern fair-faced concretes are designed with concrete protection right from the planning stage in order to preserve the character of the concrete for as long as possible and to ensure the durability of the surface. Standardised concrete protection systems include hydrophobization, impregnation and coatings.

 

Concrete protection is particularly inconspicuous, but it is only temporary and therefore always needs to be renewed. Nowadays, modern protection systems go beyond this. The aesthetic demands and the requirements for increased durability of the concrete are met by transparent impregnations. The newly developed Emcephob Effect systems provide a reliable solution here.

 

The Emcephob Effect system comprises two variants: Emcephob Effect G for a glossy effect and Emcephob Effect M for a matt effect on exposed concrete. It is recommended that the surfaces are first primed with Emcephob Effect Primer to reduce the amount of trailing. Emcephob Effect products are applied crosswise with a roller. Transparent, hydrophobic and film-forming, both variants reduce the water absorption of the concrete, while at the same time being open to water vapour diffusion; they further inhibit carbonation and are UV- and weather-resistant – for an optimally protected and durable fair-faced concrete finish.
