Hardening / Consolidating
SCALP CONSOLIDANT HYDROFUGE is a 2-in-1 treatment: it consolidates porous materials while protecting them from water. Ideal for stone, brick, concrete, or mineral coatings, it provides long-lasting reinforcement for damaged surfaces while protecting them from moisture and atmospheric pollution. As an impregnation product, it does not alter the appearance of the surface.
SCALP MINÉRALISANT 95 is a mineralizing agent for stone facades designed to deeply consolidate porous materials such as limestone or siliceous stone, brick, concrete, and mineral coatings. Invisible after application, it provides long-lasting reinforcement without altering the appearance of the substrate. Ideal for restoring old facades, historic monuments, or modern buildings, it provides effective protection against moisture, aging, and external damage.
It can also be applied by drone, an ideal solution for hard-to-reach areas or large surfaces, ensuring fast, even, and safe application.
SCALP PRIMAFIX is a multifunctional primer designed to reinforce, repair, coat, and protect substrates such as concrete, mortar, masonry, or mineral plaster. This product is essential for substrate preparation.
Its specific formula hardens soft, brittle, or powdery materials while improving the adhesion of subsequent layers: paint, plaster, mortar, adhesive, or coating. SCALP PRIMAFIX acts as a true “chemical bond” between materials, ensuring a strong and durable bond.
This primer consolidates in depth while reinforcing the impermeability of surfaces. It thus helps to limit the appearance of cracks, reinforce the waterproofing of substrates, and extend the life of structures. It is particularly suitable for old, degraded, or absorbent substrates, which are often encountered during renovations.
What is a consolidating or mineralizing product ?
Consolidating and mineralizing products are essential protective treatments for porous materials such as stone, brick, concrete and plaster. Their main role is to reinforce the internal structure of substrates, increasing their cohesion and limiting their degradation over time.
These products are particularly useful on old, weakened or degraded materials, to restore their strength without altering their original appearance. By penetrating deeply, they harden supports, reduce porosity and improve resistance to weathering, atmospheric pollution and aging.
There are two main families of consolidants :
- Silicate-based consolidants (often called mineralizers): act by chemical reaction with siliceous materials to reinforce the mineral structure of the substrate.
- Resin-based consolidants: provide mechanical cohesion to friable materials, particularly in heritage restoration projects.
When and how to apply a consolidant or mineralizer ?
The application of a consolidating or mineralizing product is recommended in several cases:
- On old facades or monuments made of stone, rendering or brick that have become powdery or crumbly.
- On renovation projects, to stabilize surfaces before painting or applying water
- On porous surfaces exposed to the elements, to extend their
It is essential to apply the product to a clean, dry and sound substrate. If necessary, prior cleaning with a facade cleaner or anti-foam treatment can be carried out.
SCALP consolidating products can be applied by brush, roller, hand sprayer or airless, depending on site conditions. They are generally colorless and non-film-forming, which means they don't form a film on the surface and preserve the natural appearance of the material.
Can a consolidant be combined with another treatment ?
Yes, the application of a consolidant can be combined with another treatment.
- A water repellent can be applied after the consolidant has completely dried, to provide lasting protection against water infiltration.
- Alternatively, a finishing coat or mineral paint can be applied to a previously consolidated substrate, guaranteeing better resistance over time.
At SCALP, products such as SCALP MINERALISANT 95 reinforce porous materials in depth, while protecting them against soiling and reducing their sensitivity to external aggression.
