BACK TREATMENT AGAINST RISING HUMIDITY FOR NATURAL STONE AND ABSORBING MATERIALS
BS H2O is a special water-repellent emulsion made with reactive resins dissolved in water. Its special formulation, specifically developed to be applied on the bottom of the tiles and slabs, creates a protective membrane that prevents humidity from rising through the material, without, however, affecting its original breathability and at the same time, increasing the adherence between the treated material and the adhesives used to install it.
BS H2O is used as a back treatment before installing any of those materials, subject to rising humidity and all of the problems linked to it.
BS H2O is always used in combination with a Faber pre-installation treatment applied to 5 sides (top+edge) to guarantee maximum protection and perfect adherence with any type of bonding agent.
BS H20 can also be used as a bonding additive together with cement-based products to create mortar with the best possible chemical and mechanical resistance and adherence, even to old surfaces in bad condition.
Frequently asked questions
What is BS H2O used for? BS H2O is a water-repellent emulsion used as a back treatment on the bottom of tiles and slabs before installation. It creates a protective membrane that prevents humidity from rising through the material.
Does BS H2O affect the material's breathability? No. It prevents rising humidity without affecting the material's original breathability, and it increases adherence between the treated material and the adhesives used to install it.
Can BS H2O be used with cement-based products? Yes. It can be used as a bonding additive together with cement-based products to create mortar with high chemical and mechanical resistance and adherence.
