The absorption of water by the porous supports placed on the facade, both as cladding and as a constructive element of the masonry itself, is one of the main causes of their deterioration. In fact, water acts on materials directly or indirectly and plays a fundamental role in the processes of chemical – physical – biological degradation.
The Problem
The Solution
To ensure that the water does not exert its degrading action against porous materials, CIR offers a range of water-repellent protective products that can strongly limit the absorption of water inside the material and the pollutants it contains.
The water-repellent protectors proposed by CIR come from silicon-based polymers and can be considered as monomer derivatives that nomenclature the silane SiH4; some of them are produced using state-of-the-art technologies that allow to obtain active substances with NANOMETER diameter.

The Technician Advises
Before carrying out the protective treatment of a surface it is necessary to check each time the absorption of the support, in order to evaluate which product to choose, whether solvent based or water based. Always work on a clean and perfectly dry surface.
