ARDEX WPM 163

Water-Resistant Penetrative Sealer

Ardex WPM 163  is a one-component, water-based, urethane-modified, acrylic water-resistant protective sealer that penetrates and cures within the pores of the surface being sealed. Ardex WPM 163 is semi-permeable allowing the surface to breathe and is not a waterproof membrane that will resist ponding water.

Benefits:

• Trafficable within 24 hours
• Penetrates and cures within the pores of the surface providing a seal for extended service life
• Good flexibility properties to withstand substrate expansion and contraction
• Can be applied to damp surfaces and freshly laid concrete
• Non-flammable and very low odour

Uses:

• As an economical single component sealer and dust suppressant for warehouse and showroom concrete floors to suppress dust formation and dirt collection with minimum downtime.
• As a water resistant sealer for external concrete or masonry walls to minimise water ingress while allowing the substrate to breathe and prevent internal surface condensation.
• As a grease and oil resistant sealer for concrete and masonry paths, paved areas, etc.
• As an easily applied water resisting sealer for concrete, roof tiles, brick, stone, slate and masonry to inhibit water penetration.
• As a protective sealer for sandstone to minimize dirt and atmospheric grime development while allowing the sandstone to breathe.
• As a sealer for timber wall panelling.
• Single component polyurethane dispersion sealer
• Requires only a short downtime for application
