ICF Anionic Emulsion

Definition: ICF Anionic Emulsion is an anionic bitumen emulsion formed by dispersing water into bitumen in microscopic particles using special techniques. Upon application, it creates a black, water-resistant layer with enhanced adhesion strength as the water within evaporates.

ICF Anionic Emulsion is used as a primary component in single and double-component bitumen-based waterproofing products.

ICF Anionic Emulsions

Anionic emulsions, like ICF Anionic Emulsion, are versatile materials that find applications in a variety of construction and waterproofing scenarios. Their superior performance makes them an essential component in achieving durable and reliable waterproofing. Below are some key usage areas and advantages of these products:

Application Areas

  1. Foundation and Basement Walls:

    • Acts as a moisture barrier to prevent water ingress and dampness in underground structures.

  2. Terraces, Roofs, Kitchens, and Bathrooms:

    • Functions as an effective waterproofing material for dry or damp areas prone to water exposure.

  3. Primer for Bituminous Coatings:

    • Used as a primer to improve adhesion between bituminous layers and substrates.

  4. Reinforcement Applications:

    • Serves as a primer material and binder for applications involving fiberglass mesh, canvas, or similar materials.

  5. Mortars and Plasters:

    • Enhances impermeability and adhesion strength when added to cement and/or fine sand-based mortars and plasters.

  6. Construction Formworks:

    • Prevents swelling and deformation of wooden formworks due to water contact. Also used as a form-release agent to ensure smooth removal.

Advantages

  • Enhanced Waterproofing:

    • Creates a robust, water-impermeable layer that protects surfaces against moisture and water damage.

  • Improved Adhesion:

    • Provides excellent bonding properties, ensuring secure adhesion to various substrates.

  • Flexible and Durable:

    • Retains elasticity over time, accommodating minor structural movements without cracking.

  • Easy Application:

    • Can be applied directly on dry or damp surfaces using brushes, rollers, or sprayers.

  • Multi-Purpose Use:

    • Ideal for various construction needs, from primers to additives, offering a cost-effective solution.

  • Eco-Friendly:

    • Free from harmful solvents, making it safe for users and the environment.
