Amazingly serving as a repair and waterproofing agent DRYFIKS ACR will boost structural performance for years to come against deplorable factors (water & environment).
As a bonding agent, waterproofing modifier, repair additive, and surface strength enhancer, this adaptable solution will simplify the entire process for residential, commercial and industrial construction projects alike.
What is DRYFIKS ACR?
DRYFIKS ACR is waterborne, UV-stable acrylic polymer emulsion for improving the properties of concrete and mortar mixes, waterproof coatings, and grouts.
It acts as a bond enhancer between old and new concrete surfaces, enhancing the strengthening layer of plaster and masonry structures. The polymer technology helps to avoid cracks, minimize shrinkage, absorb dust and improve abrasion resistance, thus resulting in stronger and longer-lasting surfaces.
DRYFIKS ACR provides superior bonding and water-proofing protection whether used in bathrooms, terraces, columns, beams, sunken slabs or repair works.

Application Areas For Waterproofing In Construction
Rampart wall
This type of concrete repair is used to restore ramparts and structural patching. In addition, it will increase the structural performance of the material by protecting it from atrocious environmental conditions and water, which in turn ensures the longevity of your columns, beams, and external walls.
Small roof terraces
This UV-stable water-based polymer is perfect for small flat roof areas such as terraces or balconies. It forms a thick matrix of protection that will keep water from penetrating or absorbing moisture and will continue to hold up when exposed to direct sunlight.
Masonry stone work
The versatility of this polymer provides an exceptional adhesive for all types of masonry stonework installations such as stone cladding and marble bedding. It will create an effective bond between these masonry surfaces along with their associated repair mortars to provide a bond enhancement mechanism to minimize premature surface failures.
Fixing or re-fixing of Tiles
This flexible product is an ideal solution for any type of tile replacement or new installation and assists with the reattachment of tiles and bricks. Commonly, it is utilized for waterproofing before installing tile in bathrooms, which increases bond strength between the substrate and the tiled surface to provide a leak-proof seal.
Weatherproof & frost resistant render
DRYFIKS ACR is used for the creation of externally rendered weatherproof and frost-resistant surfaces. It enhances the flexural strengths of the polymer modified mortars so that the material can withstand the movement of the substrate without developing any cracks, thereby ensuring a long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing job.
Pinhole Treatment
The Pinhole Solution, is a polymer emulsion used specifically on concrete surfaces to treat pinholes. It does this by applying a polymer film to the surface to reduce the porosity of the concrete and improve the adhesion of the concrete to itself. Once the film is applied, it also provides a smooth, dust-free and water-resistant finish.
How DRYFIKS ACR Works?
Traditional cement-based systems tend to be rigid and weakly bonded. DRYFIKS ACR Controls cement hydration by creating a polymer film in the matrix.
This polymer network:
- Improves cohesion
- Reduces porosity
- Enhances elasticity
- Strengthens bonding
- Improves waterproofing efficiency
The product is a long-lasting, crack-resistant, water-resistant surface.
Surface Preparation
To help achieve high-performance, proper surface preparation is needed.
- Scrub the surface with a metal or wire brush.
- Dust, loose particles, or oil and grease shall be removed.
- Decrease affected areas with the appropriate solvent.
- Soak the surface with clean water prior to application.
- Ensure that no standing water remains prior to applying material.
Application Method
Step 1: Wetting / Slurry Coat
Prepare bonding slurry mix:
DRYFIKS ACR Water: Cement = 1: 2: 3
Ensure all components are well blended.
Apply using brush or roller.
Make sure the substrate is fully impregnated.
Coverage:
Approx. 15–17 m² per kg
Step 2: Final Waterproofing Application
After slurry coat dries:
Prepare final mix:
DRYFIKS: Cement = 1: 2
Mix evenly using low-speed stirrer.
Apply two coats.
Apply with a gap of 5–6 hours between coats.
Coverage:
Approx. 2.5 m²/kg (two layers)

One of the most important properties when it comes to construction durability is proper bonding, crack resistance and waterproof protection. While traditional cement systems may stop moisture, they do not provide a long-term barrier to moisture and will eventually succumb to the forces of nature and structural movement.
DRYFIKS ACR can serve as a potent polymer modifier, turning regular cement applications into high-performance waterproofing and repair systems. It enhances adhesion, flexibility, abrasion resistance and water resistance that keep the structures strong, protected and maintenance-free for years.
Modern-day construction workers who desire a reliable means of repairing, bonding and providing waterproofing for their projects would benefit greatly from using DRYFIKS ACR products.
