How much FLAX emulsion do I need?
Linseed oil emulsion for protecting concrete surfaces. Protects surfaces from frost and salt and extends the life of concrete up to 3 times.
Linseed oil emulsion is a hydrophobic impregnation product used to treat concrete pavements, areas paved with concrete interlocking or composite paving, concrete fences or walls. The spray reduces the crumbling of concrete due to repeated exposure to frost and protects the concrete from the undesirable effects of de-icing salt that you bring to your sidewalk or paved area in front of the garage on the wheels of your vehicle.
Detail Description
Main advantages
Linseed oil emulsion does not smell, the impregnation is friendly to the environment as well as to the people who work with this product. It extends the life of concrete surfaces and saves you money.
The emulsion can be applied after 28 days of concrete curing at the earliest. A condition for achieving proper impregnation is also a sufficiently dry surface capable of absorbing water.
The treated surfaces must be cleaned of any residues of previous coatings and free from all loose parts. The emulsion is dosed according to the absorbency of the substrate, usually in the amount of 25 to 125 g/m2. The product can be applied by any technology that can maintain the required dosage. The most common are spraying with modified mechanical or conventional manual sprayers.
After spraying the emulsion, a milky white color is immediately formed on the concrete, which quickly turns dark gray when dried. The subsequent lightening of the concrete surface indicates the degree and speed of absorption of this hydrophobic impregnation. The usual time for the surface to lighten to its original color is usually 5 to 14 days, depending on the moisture content in the concrete, climatic conditions and the surface properties of the concrete. Monitoring the coefficient of longitudinal friction Fp of the road surface has shown that with proper application there is no reduction in traffic safety.
Technical specifications
The efficiency determined as the ratio of treated and untreated concrete was monitored by testing the resistance of surfaces to the combined effects of freezing and de-icing salts on laboratory specimens according to ČSN 73 1326, method A. This test methodology measures the total mass of surface debris achieved after repeated 25 freezing cycles in the KD-20 apparatus.
The following efficiencies were statistically measured after treatment with linseed oil emulsion:
Waste from untreated body Waste after emulsion application Application efficiency
0 0 -
less than 1000 g/m2 less than 50 g/m2 more than 95%
less than 5000 g/m2 less than 500 g/m2 more than 90%
We recommend applying linseed oil emulsion before the first winter. Application is not recommended on concrete that has already completely decomposed.
