JUBIGUARD Drip Shield Integral Waterproofing Compound

JUBIGUARD DRIPSHIELD – Anti-Corrosive Integral Liquid Waterproofing Compound for Ghana

JUBIGUARD DRIPSHIELD is a high-performance, integral waterproofing compound designed to make concrete and mortar intrinsically water-resistant. It works by chemically converting water-soluble compounds into stable equivalents, improving particle cohesion, reducing segregation, and enhancing plasticity. For contractors, engineers, property developers, and homeowners in Ghana, this product provides a reliable, long-term solution to dampness, water seepage, and premature structural deterioration in concrete and plaster surfaces. Supplied in 1L, 5L, 10L, and 20L packs, JUBIGUARD DRIPSHIELD is suitable for small-scale residential projects as well as large commercial and industrial construction works across Ghana’s diverse climatic zones.

CETECH Ghana offers this product through both online and offline stores, providing easy access, bulk supply options, and expert consultation for optimal use in Ghanaian construction projects.

What JUBIGUARD DRIPSHIELD Is

JUBIGUARD DRIPSHIELD is an integral waterproofing admixture, meaning it functions within the concrete or mortar matrix rather than forming a surface coating. When correctly mixed with cement, aggregates, and water, it modifies the internal structure of concrete and plaster by:

• Reducing capillary pores
• Improving particle bonding
• Increasing cohesiveness
• Limiting water penetration
• Reducing shrinkage and cracking

Unlike surface-applied waterproofing solutions that may peel, crack, or wear off, JUBIGUARD DRIPSHIELD becomes a permanent part of the concrete, offering long-term protection for structural elements constantly exposed to moisture, groundwater pressure, or humid conditions common across Ghana.

The product is ideal for all types of concrete, mortar, and plaster applications where water impermeability, enhanced cohesion, and reduced cracking are required.

How JUBIGUARD DRIPSHIELD Works

Concrete and mortar naturally contain micro-pores and capillaries that allow water to penetrate over time, leading to dampness, corrosion, and structural deterioration. JUBIGUARD DRIPSHIELD enhances the concrete matrix by:

• Strengthening internal particle bonding
• Increasing cohesiveness of fresh mixes
• Reducing segregation and bleeding
• Minimizing shrinkage cracks during curing
• Blocking water pathways within the material

The result is denser, more durable, and waterproof concrete and plaster that resist moisture, corrosion, and environmental stress.

Key Benefits of JUBIGUARD DRIPSHIELD

Waterproof Mortar and Concrete

• Reduces water absorption and seepage
• Protects structural elements from dampness, leaks, and moisture damage
• Ensures long-term integrity of buildings and infrastructure

Improved Workability

• Enhances the ease of mixing, placing, and finishing concrete and plaster
• Supports consistent quality in Ghanaian construction sites

Increased Cohesiveness

• Minimizes segregation of cement paste and aggregates
• Produces stronger, uniform structures with fewer voids

Corrosion Protection for Steel Reinforcement

• Limits moisture ingress that can corrode embedded steel
• Extends the lifespan of reinforced concrete, especially in coastal and high-humidity regions of Ghana

Low Shrinkage and High Durability

• Reduces cracking during curing
• Maintains structural performance under Ghana’s tropical climate and fluctuating rainfall patterns

Step-by-Step Application Method

Correct application ensures optimal waterproofing performance:

Step 1: Dry Mixing

• Charge cement and aggregates into the mixer according to the mix design
• Mix dry materials for 1–2 minutes for uniform distribution

Step 2: Initial Water Addition

• Add one-third of the required water and mix thoroughly

Step 3: Adding JUBIGUARD DRIPSHIELD

• Measure and add the recommended dosage of JUBIGUARD DRIPSHIELD into the remaining water
• Pour into the mixer and mix for an additional 2 minutes

Step 4: Placement

• Place concrete or plaster as per project requirements

Step 5: Curing

• Follow standard curing practices for concrete and plaster
• Proper curing is essential for full strength, waterproofing, and durability
