Capillary Moisture - Restora WP 07
What is Capillary Humidity?
Capillary moisture is the type of moisture that occurs when moisture in groundwater or soil migrates upward due to the porous structure of building materials and building surfaces. This movement is caused by a physical principle known as capillary action. For example, when you dip the tip of a napkin in water, the water rises and wets the napkin. This has a similar effect on walls.
Where is Capillary Moisture Seen?
- It occurs on the ground floor and basement floor walls.
- It occurs in masonry and stack structures (stone and brick).
- It is frequently seen in old buildings, especially on ground floors without waterproofing.
- It occurs in areas with high moisture risk, such as historical buildings that need restoration.
Why Are Capillaries Dangerous?
- It causes the formation of microbes such as mold and fungus, especially on indoor surfaces, which is both risky for human health and creates an unpleasant odor problem.
- It swells the coatings on plastered and painted surfaces and causes them to peel off from the surface.
- It causes great damage to the main materials of buildings, especially concrete and steel reinforcement.
- It reduces energy efficiency by damaging thermal insulation.
Permanent and Effective Solution to Capillary Moisture: Restora WP07
Capillary moisture problems are insidious and gradual, making them difficult to detect. While temporary solutions may be effective, the problem will recur in the long run. For those seeking a permanent solution , RESTORA WP07 Capillary Moisture Prevention Material is injected into walls in a cream form. It creates a horizontal moisture barrier without damaging the porous structure of the surfaces. This is thanks to silane technology.
So, what is Silane Technology?
Silane technology is an advanced chemical formulation used to impart water-repellent properties to construction chemicals. Silanes are silicon-based organic compounds that penetrate the porous surfaces of building materials, creating a microscopic barrier against water.
How to apply WP07 to the restaurant?
- First, horizontal holes are drilled along the wall at 10cm intervals.
- Holes should be drilled 5cm shorter than the wall thickness.
- Dust should be cleaned from the holes with compressed air.
- Restora WP 07 is injected into the holes with a special cartridge gun.
- There should be no liquid contact with the surface for 24 hours after application.
Capillary moisture is a structural problem that takes time to detect but has a significant impact. These issues, which develop on your surfaces and structures, will eventually become a problem overall. With Restora WP07 Capillary Moisture Prevention Material, you can put an end to all your moisture problems.
