Sikagard 706 Thixo 1-part reactive silane based impregnation cream SIKA

Sikagard 706 Thixo

Sikagard-706 Thixo is a one part reactive silane based impregnation cream. It is a solvent free product with ~ 80% content of active substance. Sikagard-706 Thixo complies with the highest requirements of EN 1504-2 for hydrophobic Impregnation (penetration depth class II & resistance to freeze and thaw salt stresses).

Characteristics and Advantages

• Non-sag (thixotropic) consistency, allowing wastage-free application of sufficient quantities and assuring deep penetration
• Reduction of water absorption
• Reduction of absorption of aggressive or deleterious agents dissolved in water (i.e. de-icing salts or chloride from marine environment)
• No noticeable change of water vapour permeability
• Not film forming
• Ready for use
• Long term efficiency, deep penetration
• Increases the resistance of concrete to freeze and thaw cycles and de-icing salts
• Resistant to sea water
• Low VOC content

Where to use

Sikagard®-706 Thixo is used as water-repellent impregnation (hydrophobic treatment) for absorbent substrates such as concrete in civil engineering or building concrete structures subjected to heavy stress due to freeze and thaw cycles and de-icing salts, chloride attack in marine environment, etc…

• Suitable for protection against ingress (Principle 1, method 1.1 of EN 1504-9)
• Suitable for moisture control (Principle 2, method 2.1 of EN 1504-9)
• Suitable for increasing the resistivity (Principle 8, method 8.1 of EN 1504-9)
