No Hydro Masonry Protection Cream is a breathable, colorless, water-repellent treatment for brick, concrete, and stonework walls. No Hydro Masonry Protection Cream is applied in a single coat application to the wall surface and will penetrate 12mm fully before curing to a water-repellent barrier that will last up to 25 years.
No Hydro Masonry Protection Cream is formed by carefully selected silanes and siloxanes that line the masonry pores to form a water-repellent silicone matrix. As it works by lining the pores rather than blocking them the masonry is allowed to breathe and does not suffer from increased frost damage (spalling). No Hydro Cream is effectively protected from the sun and other forms of UV light due to its unique formulation and deep penetration, resulting in a 20 – 30 year life span.
12mm Penetration
No Hydro Deeply Penetrating Cream can penetrate more deeply into masonry than other liquid-applied masonry water repellents. This, as well as enhancing longevity, enhances the No Hydro Water Repellent Cream crack-bridging capability and can provide water-repellency beyond the depth of small cracks.
It should also be mentioned to receive the best protection, larger gaps will need to be filled during the treatment. Mortar lines may need to be repointed with a sand/cement or sand/lime mix.
Stone, Brick and Concrete Protection
No Hydro Masonry Protection Cream is effective when used on masonry substrates that contain a large proportion of sand (SiO2) – e.g. brick, mortar, sandstone, granite, etc…
This is because the active ingredients in our cream form an extremely strong covalent bond with silicon dioxide (SiO2). No Hydro will also reduce heat loss therefore is energy efficient.
Chimney Protection
Dampness caused by weather damaged brick work on chimneys is a typical issue that many people deal with unsuccessfully due to incorrect diagnosis of the source and/or treatment. No Hydro Masonry Protection Cream can be used as reliable protection with a long life expectancy. With many benefits using No Hydro Protective Cream for the application will give you up to 25 years of protection against bad weather protecting properties chimneys porous bricks and mortar preventing water ingress, penetrating damp, water absorption and frost damage.
It should be mentioned that it might also be beneficial to inject a No Hydro Damp Proof Cream at the lowest accessible point in the chimney stack to mitigate moisture tracking down this route.
Effective Results
No Hydro provides effectiveness on concrete, mortar, brick, and sandstone. No Hydro cream based formulation is resistant to light rain after just 12 hours and heavy rain after 24 hours. As the product is designed to go deep into masonry, it may take up to two months for a visible “beading effect” to appear after rainfall on the wall although you will notice resistants after just 12 hours.
Penetrating Damp
Rain penetration into masonry can occur in buildings of all ages. It penetrates right through the wall and is visible as a damp patch often causing discolouration and peeling/flaking of paintwork or wallpaper, this is often misdiagnosed as rising damp however, rainwater penetration can be damaging to a property, even if it does not penetrate all the way through a wall e.g moss growth, increased heat loss, and frost damage can be caused by rain penetration into masonry.

Application
Application for No Hydro Masonry Protection Cream
Remove any loose mortar, dust, etc using a masonry brush. When biological growth such as moss, algae, or lichen needs to be removed, apply No Hydro Multi-Surface Biocide per instructions.
No Hydro Masonry Protection Cream is a single coat application and can be applied by brushing around details such as windows. Care should be taken to ensure that No Hydro breathable water repellent does not splash onto glass, paintwork, plants, etc. Any splashes should be cleaned away with warm soapy water.
Larger areas can be covered more quickly using roller application. No Hydro Masonry Protection Cream can also be applied by electric roller or airless spray – contact our technical department for details.
Check for any missed areas that have not been treated (e.g. voids in brickwork, deep mortar beds) and apply No Hydro Masonry Protection Cream to these areas using a brush.
No Hydro Masonry Protection Cream appears white immediately after treatment – making it easy to tell which areas have been treated.
15 – 20 minutes after application, No Hydro Breathable Water Repellent starts to penetrate into the masonry and the whiteness will fade.
After 24 – 48 hours the wall will have returned to its original appearance.
As No Hydro Masonry Protection Cream is formulated to penetrate deeply into masonry it can take up to two months after application for a noticeable “beading effect” to appear when rainfall strikes the wall. The masonry will be resistant to light rain after two to four hours.
Our product is supplied in the form of a thick cream that appears white immediately and is applied to the wall surface using a roller or paint brush within 24 hours of applying the surface will return to its natural appearance, it can be applied to dry walls and uniquely be applied to wet walls.

Back in December when i purchased the masonry protection cream, i bought only 1 bucket to see if it worked. in march i bought another 12 to apply to my whole property thats how good it was, within hours i noticed the water bead effect no hydro talk about, ive used similar products that cliam the same results as no hydro but no way does any come close to it. For reference i used the product on 250 year old sand stone house in Mullingar, Co Westmeath, Ireland.
