description hydrophobic Portland cement is a unique variety of cement that is made to either repel water or have a high absorption resistance. It is produced by adding water-repellent substances, like oleic or stearic acid, to regular Portland cement clinker. These substances envelop the cement particles in a layer that repels water, rendering the material hydrophobic. This kind of cement is very helpful for building projects where water intrusion may be an issue, including tunnels, basements, or locations that receive a lot of rainfall. Hydrophobic cement aids in preventing water from seeping into the concrete, which over time causes problems with durability and structural damage.
