Polvo hidrofóbico de silicona (SHP) en la construcción del sudeste asiático
Sudeste Asiático!construction, requiring advanced hydrophobic solutions to ensure building longevity. Silicone Hydrophobic Powder (SHP), a cutting-edge silicone-based powder, delivers exceptional hydrophobic properties, enhancing waterproofing and durability in Southeast Asian construction projects. This case study from Malaysia showcases SHP’s transformative impact in the region. Silicone Hydrophobic Powder
Customer Background
A leading construction firm in Malaysia, operating in Southeast Asia, was tasked with building a high-rise residential tower in Kuala Lumpur. Frequent heavy rain tested the limits of traditional materials, which lacked hydrophobic capabilities and often failed. To address this, they turned to SHP for its proven hydrophobic performance in exterior mortar, a critical need in Southeast Asian climates.
Application Process
SHP was incorporated into dry mortar at 0.2-1.0%, creating a robust hydrophobic layer within the cement matrix. This hydrophobic barrier reduces water absorption, making it ideal for construction in wet environments like Southeast Asia. The powder blends effortlessly, maintaining compatibility with additives and simplifying the construction process.
Results and Data
Testing revealed that standard mortar absorbed 5.2% water over 24 hours, while SHP-enhanced mortar dropped to 0.8%—an 85% improvement thanks to its hydrophobic nature. This leap in performance is vital for Southeast Asian construction, where moisture resistance is non-negotiable. Aging resistance also improved significantly.
Standard Mortar: 5.2% absorption, no hydrophobic effect
SHP Mortar: 0.8% absorption, contact angle > 130°
SHP Advantages
Superior Waterproofing: Its hydrophobic properties block water, minimizing absorption.
Seamless Integration: Easy to use in construction, with stable performance.
Durable in Southeast Asia: Resists aging and weathering in harsh climates.
Eco-Friendly: VOC-free, supporting sustainable construction.
Customer Feedback
“With SHP, our walls remain dry despite Southeast Asia’s relentless rain. Its hydrophobic strength is a game-changer for construction—cost-effective and reliable.”
Conclusion
Silicone Hydrophobic Powder (SHP) is a game-changing solution for Southeast Asian construction, offering unmatched hydrophobic protection. It reduces maintenance costs and extends building life in the region’s challenging conditions. Contact us to bring SHP’s hydrophobic excellence to your next construction project in Southeast Asia!
