Presentation Title: Silicones for Facade Protection
Presentation Abstract: Concrete is today’s main building material. It is a versatile building material, used especially in civil engineering in combination with steel. However, concrete and steel are vulnerable to harmful substances that penetrate the building material by means of moisture. This can result in costly concrete damage due to reinforcement corrosion. Only effective preventive measures such as hydrophobic impregnation provide reliable protection for concrete structures.
The unique advantages of prevention with silicone products includes the reduction of costly repair, reduces energy consumption and extended lifespan of the building, which ultimately contributes to sustainability
