VARIPHOB® CC 4272 is especially recommended for the surface protection of the following mineral based surfaces.
- Cement-based construction materials
- Concrete (non-load bearing manufactured concrete products)
- Reinforced concrete in bridge, road and building construction
- Alkaline mineral substrates
- Recommendation for Use
- VARIPHOB® CC 4272 is added undiluted in the airless procedure or can be applied with a roller, brush or spatula.
- Because of the thixotropic character VARIPHOB® CC 4272 can be applied in thicker coats.
- The optimal amount has to be determined in pre-trials.
- Soilings are to be removed prior to applying the product. The ground must be dry, solid and free from dust and grease.
- The efficiency and penetration depth of VARIPHOB® CC 4272 is depending on the moisture of the substrate.
- Water spots or individual moist spots on the concrete surface lead to an uneven impregnation. Water or rain may not get in contact with the cream until VARIPHOB® CC 4272 has been completely absorbed by the ground. Freshly treated surfaces must be protected from water impact.
- When used in combination with insulating materials, the stability of the insulating material to VARIPHOB® CC 4272 must be tested.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 12 months
- Storage Conditions
In closed original containers at room temperature (approx. 23°C) the product will be stable for at least 12 months.
- Stability
- VARIPHOB® CC 4272 is sensitive to frost; after the impact of temperatures below the freezing point irreversible changes can occur.
- The containers must be protected from direct sun radiation and keep from temperatures higher than 30°C.
