Better surface protection with solutions from RUDOLF
Agent of positive change
Moisture in facades, masonry, bridges or other architectural buildings is considered to be one of the main factors causing damage to buildings.
With RUCOSAN® and RUCOTEC®, RUDOLF develops and produces construction chemical products protecting mineral substrates and for the renovation of buildings.
Anti-graffiti coatings facilitate the removal of aerosol paints (graffiti), markers, stickers, chewing gums, etc.
Special surface treatments of natural and artificial stones such as flaming, sandblasting, brushing, etc. result in a lower colour depth compared to polished surfaces.
Rising damp is a well-known problem especially in basements and buildings located in areas with a high groundwater level. Moisture in masonry often manifests itself in form of a humid indoor climate or peeling plaster. Without appropriate measures, it can lead to severe mold growth and cause serious damage to the building structure. The repair of which can entail considerable costs. Therefore, the usage of sufficient protective measures to avoid rising moisture is essential to guarantee the foreseen life time of the building without enormous maintenance costs.
Physical and chemical weathering lead to structural damage of buildings over time. Therefore, RUDOLF offers consolidifying agents, which restore the integrity of weathered stones and mineral construction materials.
A professional insulation of exterior walls and roofs significantly helps to improve the energy balance of a house and thus not only saves a lot of money, but also contributes to environmental protection. However, all natural and mineral insulating materials have a hydrophilic character due to their voluminous pore structure. This leads to an increase of capillary water absorption and to faster degradation of the substance, which can be prevented by a hydrophobic impregnation.
RUDOLF offers various solutions for impregnations for a wide range of construction materials in order to ensure maximal lifetime and appealing optical appearance. These hydrophobic creams based on silanes and siloxanes for the surface treatment of facades and mineral substrates are ready-to-use and are characterised by easy handling.
RUDOLF offers various solutions for impregnations for a wide range of construction materials in order to ensure maximal lifetime and appealing optical appearance. These hydrophobic impregnations based on silane/siloxane emulsions or liquids can be used for surface treatment of facades and all types of mineral substrates as well as for the integral treatment of cementitious building materials, such as concrete and fibre cement boards.
Fluorocarbon impregnating agents lead to a high reduction of the surface energy and thus outstanding water, oil and stain repellent properties can be achieved. Moreover, solvent based impregnating agents penetrate very easily and deeply into mineral substrates. RUDOLF’s solvent-based oil- and stain repellent impregnations are therefore, highly suitable for polished or dense surfaces with small pores.

Water based impregnating agents are odourless and contain very low VOC. The aqueous fluorocarbon impregnating agents of RUDOLF additionally lead to a high reduction of the surface energy and thus outstanding water, oil and stain repellent properties can be achieved.
