THE CHALLENGE: Preventing water penetration which causes reinforcement to rust and bridges to age prematurely.
THE SOLUTION: Impregnating systems with silanes makes mineral surfaces water-repellent. These solutions penetrate deep into the substrate, providing long-lasting protection against water and chloride ingress.
THE SMART EFFECT: The service life of a structure can be extended by several decades for less than 0.5% of its total cost with the help of Evonik’s PROTECTOSIL® silane solutions. This saves costs and reduces the environmental impact by minimizing the need for frequent repairs and replacements.
