Aquarep by Aquafin Pakistan is an extremely effective roof leakage solution for concrete and masonry protection, providing durable, breathable waterproofing. This water-repellent, penetrating material is designed to penetrate deep into the structure, thus protecting it. It is ideal for a wide range of construction materials, including high-density concrete, aerated blocks, and porous masonry.
Key Benefits of Aquarep
Deep Penetration & Bonding
The nano-sized active particles of Aquarep penetrate porous substrates, chemically bonding with the material to form a deep protective layer, rather than just on the surface.
Excellent water repellency
Aquarep, due to its very low surface tension, induces quick beading of water on treated surfaces and dramatically reduces its absorption.
Long-Lasting Protection
Chemically bonded for durability, Aquarep provides stable, long-term protection and a roof leakage solution that helps extend the life of building materials.
Breathable & One-Way Permeable
Aquarep prevents liquid water from penetrating but allows the vapor to escape, hence helping in preventing moisture build-up in the substrate.
Ability to Repair Cracks
The repellent is applied to very fine cracks, about 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm, adding resilience to the surface that might expand or contract.
High Chemical & Weather Resistance
Aquarep resists attack by a wide range of aggressive agents, including acids, alkalis, chloride ions, carbonation, and UV exposure. It also resists freeze-thaw cycling over a wide temperature range from –50 °C to 200 °C.
Preserves Original Appearance
Since it is colorless, Aquarep does not alter any of the original aspects of the surface and is suitable for aesthetic projects.
Eco-Friendly
Aquarep is designed to be environmentally friendly and waterproof without leaving harmful residues.
Where to Use Aquarep?
Aquarep is suitable for a wide variety of construction scenarios and roof leakage solutions, such as:
Concrete pavements (bridges, highways, overpasses)
External and Internal walls (masonry, concrete)
Roofs and other exposed surfaces
Parking garages and industrial floors
Warehouses, city squares, and architectural façades
How to Apply Aquarep?
Prepare the Surface
Application is only done on clean, completely dry substrates.
Remove dust, grease, or loose particles that can interfere with the penetration process.
Application Methods
Aquarep can be applied by spraying, brushing, rolling, or soaking, depending on the surface.
If applying by spray, use a low-pressure spray at about a 10–15 cm distance.
Saturation & drying Apply until the substrate is saturated with Aquarep.
For denser materials, after 5–10 minutes, wipe off the excess with a soft cloth to avoid surface residue.
Let the treated area air-dry in a well-ventilated space; it should be protected from rain until fully cured.
Curing Conditions
Optimum Application Temperature: 2 °C to 45 °C (35.6 °F to 113 °F).
The treated surface will exhibit strong hydrophobic effects and long-lasting protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will Aquarep alter the appearance of my surface?
No — Aquarep is colorless and does not alter the original appearance of the substrate. Therefore, it is suitable for areas that have aesthetic importance.
Q2: Does Aquarep offer protection against chemical attack?
Yes — it offers resistance against a wide range of chemical agents such as acids, alkalis, and chloride ions, along with resistance against UV and carbonation.
Conclusion
Aquarep by Aquafin Pakistan is an extremely powerful, nano-engineered water repellent and roof leakage solution that deeply penetrates construction materials for long-term protection. The unique combination of water repellency, environmental resistance, and breathability in this product line makes it perfect for infrastructure projects and architectural surfaces alike. Aquarep extends the service life of buildings by protecting them against moisture ingression and chemical attack without altering their appearance.
