Products and Systems for the Protection and Repair of Concrete Structures - Test Methods - Water Absorption and Resistance to Alkali for Hydrophobic Impregnations
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13580 standard focuses on test methods and requirements for hydrophobic impregnations used in the protection and repair of concrete structures. This standard specifically addresses the water absorption and resistance to alkali of these impregnations.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized test method to assess the effectiveness of hydrophobic impregnations in preventing water penetration into concrete surfaces. By evaluating the rate at which treated concrete absorbs water, this standard helps to determine the level of protection provided by the impregnation.
In addition to water absorption, this standard also evaluates the resistance of the impregnation to alkali. Alkali resistance is important as the presence of alkali in concrete can potentially degrade the impregnating material and compromise its effectiveness.
