Feb Febproof Plus 5 Litre liquid waterproofer, water resistant and plasticiser admixture to mortars and non structural concrete which helps prevent transmission of water through sand or cement renders, also improves the workability of the product, Feb proof Plus also acts as an inhibitor for efflorescence, Feb Febproof Plus reduces water absorption and makes mortar or non-structural concrete less permeable, as a strong air-entraining plasticiser, the water to cement ratio is much lower for the same workability, Feb-Proof Plus is suitable for use in rendering finishes and pointing mortars, It is also used in reconstructed stone and non-structural concrete members.

The Febproof Plus Waterproofer and Plasticiser Admixture is a premium dual-purpose solution designed to enhance the quality and durability of cement-based mortars and concrete. Supplied in a 5-litre container, it is perfect for medium-scale applications such as bricklaying, external rendering, pointing, and repairs. This advanced admixture combines superior waterproofing properties with improved workability, ensuring a smoother, more pliable mix that is easier to apply and less prone to cracking or shrinkage during curing. By reducing water absorption, Febproof Plus provides long-lasting protection against damp, efflorescence, and freeze-thaw damage, making it suitable for use in challenging conditions. Whether for indoor or outdoor use, its weather-resistant formula ensures professional-grade results across a wide range of construction and renovation projects. Trusted by professionals and DIY users alike, Febproof Plus is a reliable and efficient choice for achieving strong, durable, and water-resistant mortar and concrete finishes.

Feb Febproof Plus water proofer also entrains air and this reduces capillary and water channel development, thus ensuring greatly increased water tightness and resistance to frost, in addition due to its plasticising action reductions in water content of up to 20% are attained,  Feb proof Plus slightly retards the mix, e.g. a 3:1 sand cement mix will be retarded by about up to an hour.

Questions and Answers: 

Unique FAQs for Febproof Plus Waterproofer and Plasticiser Admixture (5 Litre)

1. How does it enhance both waterproofing and durability?
Febproof Plus uses a dual-action formula that creates an internal barrier within the mortar or concrete, drastically reducing water absorption while maintaining the structural integrity of the mix. By enhancing the cohesion and reducing shrinkage during curing, it ensures long-term durability, even in wet or harsh environments. The waterproofing properties also protect against common issues like freeze-thaw damage and prolonged dampness, extending the lifespan of your construction.

2. Can Febproof Plus be used in areas with extreme weather exposure?
Absolutely. its been specially formulated to withstand a wide range of environmental conditions, from heavy rain to freezing temperatures. Its air-entraining technology protects the mortar or concrete from water ingress and freeze-thaw cycles, making it an excellent choice for exposed areas like retaining walls, exterior rendering, and foundations.

3. Does Febproof Plus change the consistency of the mortar or concrete?
Yes, but in a positive way. As a plasticiser, Febproof Plus improves the flow and workability of the mix, creating a smoother, more pliable consistency that’s easier to apply. This enhanced texture reduces manual effort and ensures better adhesion to surfaces, resulting in a clean, professional-grade finish with reduced likelihood of cracks or imperfections.

4. How does Febproof Plus help prevent common mortar issues like efflorescence?
Efflorescence occurs when water draws soluble salts to the surface of mortar or concrete, leaving behind white streaks. It minimizes water movement within the mix by reducing permeability, effectively cutting off the path for salts to migrate. This means your mortar stays clean and visually appealing over time, without the need for additional treatments or frequent cleaning.

5. Can Febproof Plus be used for interior projects, such as bathrooms or basements?
Yes, it is versatile enough for both interior and exterior applications. Its waterproofing capabilities make it especially valuable in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, wet rooms, and basements. Whether you're laying bricks, rendering walls, or repairing damp-prone surfaces, Febproof Plus ensures a durable and water-resistant finish that meets interior needs.

6. Is Febproof Plus suitable for large-scale DIY projects?
Definitely. While it’s a go-to product for professional builders, it is also straight forward enough for large-scale DIY applications. Its easy-to-use formula integrates seamlessly into the mix, whether you're repairing a wall, laying a patio, or adding a layer of waterproof rendering. The clear dosage guidelines make it simple to achieve consistent results, even for non-professionals.

7. How does Febproof Plus perform in low temperatures?
It is ideal for use in colder climates. Its ability to reduce water content and introduce air pockets into the mix makes it resistant to the expansion and contraction caused by freezing and thawing. This added frost resistance helps prevent damage during winter months and ensures your construction retains its strength and appearance year-round.

8. What types of projects is it best suited for?
It excels in a wide variety of applications, from external bricklaying and rendering to internal repairs and waterproofing basements. It’s particularly valuable in projects where water resistance and durability are critical, such as retaining walls, garden features, patios, or foundations. Its flexibility and ease of use make it a staple product for any project requiring professional-grade results.
