JUBIGUARD Drip Shield Integral Waterproofing Compound

JUBIGUARD Drip Shield Integral Waterproofing Compound JUBIGUARD Drip Shield Integral Waterproofing Compound is a high-performance liquid admixture designed to make concrete and mortar waterproof from within. It is added directly to cement mixes to reduce water permeability, improve workability, increase cohesiveness, and protect steel reinforcement against corrosion. For builders, contractors, engineers, and property owners in Ghana, this product provides a reliable, long-term solution to water seepage, dampness, and premature structural deterioration in concrete and plastered surfaces. Supplied in 1L & 5L container, JUBIGUARD Drip Shield is suitable for both small-scale projects and large commercial or industrial construction works across Ghana’s diverse climate zones. What Is JUBIGUARD Drip Shield Integral Waterproofing Compound? JUBIGUARD Drip Shield is an integral waterproofing compound, meaning it works inside the concrete or mortar matrix rather than forming a surface coating. When mixed correctly with cement, aggregates, and water, it modifies the internal structure of concrete and plaster, reducing capillary pores and preventing water penetration. Unlike surface waterproofing products that can peel, crack, or wear off over time, integral waterproofing compounds like JUBIGUARD Drip Shield become part of the concrete itself. This makes them especially effective for structural elements that are constantly exposed to moisture, groundwater pressure, or humid conditions—common challenges in Ghana’s construction environment.

JUBIGUARD Drip Shield works by: Improving particle bonding within the cement matrix Increasing cohesiveness of fresh concrete Reducing segregation and bleeding Minimizing shrinkage cracks during curing Blocking pathways that allow water penetration The result is denser, more durable concrete and plaster with improved resistance to moisture and environmental stress. Key Benefits of JUBIGUARD Drip Shield JUBIGUARD Drip Shield delivers multiple performance benefits that address common construction challenges in Ghana. Waterproof Mortar and Concrete The primary function of JUBIGUARD Drip Shield is to make mortar and concrete waterproof. It reduces water absorption and seepage, protecting structures from dampness, leaks, and moisture-related damage. Improved Workability of Plaster and Concrete The compound enhances workability, making concrete and plaster easier to mix, place, and finish. This is especially valuable on busy construction sites where consistent quality is required. Increased Cohesiveness of Concrete By improving internal bonding, JUBIGUARD Drip Shield reduces segregation of aggregates and cement paste. This leads to a more uniform and stronger final structure. Resistance to Corrosion of Steel Water penetration is a major cause of steel reinforcement corrosion. By limiting moisture ingress, JUBIGUARD Drip Shield helps protect embedded steel, extending the lifespan of reinforced concrete structures. Low Shrinkage and High Durability Reduced shrinkage minimizes the formation of cracks during curing. This contributes to long-term durability, particularly in areas exposed to temperature changes and humidity. Step-by-Step Application Method for Best Results Correct application is critical to achieving optimal waterproofing performance. Follow these steps carefully: Step 1: Dry Mixing Charge cement and aggregates into the concrete mixer according to the specified mix design. Mix in a dry state for 1–2 minutes to ensure even distribution. Step 2: Initial Water Addition Add one-third (1/3) of the total required water into the mixer and mix thoroughly. Step 3: Adding JUBIGUARD Drip Shield Add JUBIGUARD Drip Shield as per the recommended dosage into the remaining mixing or gauging water. Pour this mixture into the concrete mixer and mix for another 2 minutes. Step 4: Placement Place the concrete or apply plaster as required for the project. Step 5: Curing Cure the applied mortar or concrete according to good construction practices. Proper curing is essential to achieve full strength and waterproofing performance. Ideal Applications in Ghanaian Construction JUBIGUARD Drip Shield is suitable for a wide range of applications commonly found in Ghana’s residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Water Tanks and Reservoirs Used in overhead tanks, underground tanks, and water reservoirs to prevent leakage and water loss. Foundations and Substructures Ideal for foundations exposed to groundwater or seasonal flooding, helping protect buildings from rising damp. Swimming Pools Provides integral waterproofing for pool walls and floors, reducing long-term maintenance issues. Terraces and Flat Roofs Helps prevent water seepage through slabs, a common problem during Ghana’s rainy seasons. Bathrooms and Wet Areas Effective in bathroom walls and floors where constant moisture exposure occurs. Basements and Sewers Suitable for basements and sewer systems where water resistance and durability are critical. External and Internal Plaster Improves plaster quality and resistance to moisture on both interior and exterior surfaces. Performance in Ghana’s Climate Conditions Ghana’s climate includes high humidity, heavy rainfall in certain regions, and strong sunlight exposure. JUBIGUARD Drip Shield is well-suited to these conditions because: It reduces moisture ingress in humid environments It supports long-term durability in tropical climates It minimizes damage caused by repeated wet-dry cycles These characteristics make it a practical choice for construction projects across coastal, forest, and savannah zones in Ghana. Durability, Lifespan, and Long-Term Value When used correctly, JUBIGUARD Drip Shield contributes to the long-term durability of concrete and mortar. By reducing water penetration and corrosion risks, it helps structures maintain their integrity for many years, lowering repair and maintenance costs. This makes it a cost-effective solution for developers, contractors, and property owners focused on lifecycle value rather than short-term savings. Storage and Handling Guidelines To maintain product quality: Store in unopened containers Keep away from direct sunlight Store preferably below 30°C Minimum shelf life is 18 months when stored correctly Proper storage ensures consistent performance on site. Safety and Compliance Considerations JUBIGUARD Drip Shield is designed for professional construction use when handled according to standard safety practices. Users should: Follow recommended dosage Use appropriate personal protective equipment during mixing Adhere to standard concrete curing procedures These practices help ensure both safety and performance compliance on construction sites. Advantages Over Surface Waterproofing Methods Compared to surface-applied waterproofing coatings, JUBIGUARD Drip Shield offers several advantages: Becomes part of the concrete structure Does not peel or delaminate Provides uniform protection throughout the material Protects steel reinforcement internally Reduces long-term maintenance needs This makes it especially suitable for structural elements that are difficult to access after construction.
