Our mission, as...

... (+) upward towards the walls (-) (see the diagram above). It has been demonstrated that water molecules form dipoles (like magnets) that align themselves in such a way that they rise through the wall pores via a physical phenomenon known as capillarity. Capillary rise is distinguished by the presence of mineral salts in the walls of the nitrate type (originating from animal droppings) and sulfate type (originating from rock).

...In penetrant testing, the capillary forces of fine surface cracks and pores are utilized to make them visible. A distinction is made between color penetrant testing and fluorescent penetrant testing. Procedure description: Cleaning Penetrant Intermediate cleaning Developing Inspection...

...Sealants and water-based impregnating agents, strong adhesion, low viscosity, solvent-free WEICON S 180W Plus is a ready-to-use, very low-viscosity, aqueous sealant and impregnating agent that penetrates pores due to capillary action and seals them permanently elastic. It contains no solvents, is non-flammable, and has very strong adhesion. For example, the impregnating agent adheres very well...

...Normal setting water impermeability additive for concrete and mortar. This is a ready-to-use water impermeability additive that reacts with the cement and sand in the concrete or mortar mix, filling capillary voids and pores. ► Water Impermeability Additive ► Normal Setting ► Ready to Use ► Crystallized ► Economical ► Low Consumption APPLICATION AREAS • Tunnels • Foundations • Culverts • Channels • Water reservoirs • Control galleries • Manholes • Swimming pools FEATURES • Ready to use and practical • An economical insulation material • Does not affect the setting time and strengths of the mortar...

...The penetration method is similar to magnetic particle testing but is not limited to magnetizable materials. Fluorescent liquids penetrate into the finest cracks or pores through capillary action and are made visible by a special developer solution. Areas of application include: - Welded joints of all kinds - Titanium, stainless steel, aluminum forged parts...

...Xypex prevents the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction by causing a catalytic reaction that produces a non-soluble crystalline formation within the pores and capillary tracts of concrete and cement-based materials.

...Sealants bring color to your (old) floor Sealants close the capillary pores of the substrate and form a thin, cohesive film that serves as its own wear layer. The sealed surface enhances mechanical and chemical resistance. It acts as a liquid barrier, making your floor particularly durable and easy to maintain. Especially in the area of precision machinery, the sealant protects your equipment and investments by providing an almost dust-free floor. Design your industrial floors or exhibition areas in a variety of colors. Satin or glossy.

...During anodizing, the aluminum surface is converted into aluminum oxide. In colored anodizing, the capillary-like pore structure is utilized to fill the pores with special dyes.
