Not Necessarily the More Concentrated the Better

While high demand for W‑ONE’s W‑4 Water Repellent shows strong market trust in its waterproofing performance, it’s important to understand that “more concentrated” doesn’t always mean better results.” The product is formulated to work optimally when diluted according to recommended ratios — typically at least 10 parts water to 1 part W‑4 for standard use, and up to 50 parts water for lighter tasks. If users apply the solution with insufficient dilution or undiluted, the chemical may fail to penetrate deeply into the substrate, which diminishes effectiveness — and can even lead to surface staining or incomplete curing. Correct dilution helps ensure the waterproofing agent enters pores and micro‑cracks effectively, maximizing performance as designed.

Not necessarily the more concentrated the better.

Recently, the number of W4 Water Repellent being sold has been very encouraging. Glad that market love and trust our product in solving their water leakage problem.

However, there are cases in which users did not follow the instruction of use. W4 gives the best performance when diluted with 10 TIMES of water. It can be further diluted (up to maximum of 50 times) in less-demanding cases. However, some users actually diluted less than the instructed amount (or even un-diluted), hoping that a more concentrated solution gives better performance.

It alarmed us that we need to improve on conveying the clear and right message to dealers, contractors and home owners. And it must start immediately.

W4 Water Repellent MUST be diluted with AT LEAST TEN TIMES of water. Without which, the chemical would not be able to penetrate deeply nor to cure completely. Moreover, insufficient dilution is more likely to cause surface staining. So, everybody, please bear it in mind.

Follow Proper Dilution for Best Waterproofing Results

To achieve the best performance from waterproofing products like W‑4 Water Repellent, follow the manufacturer’s dilution instructions carefully. Over‑concentrating the solution may seem logical, but it can prevent proper penetration and curing, affecting water resistance and long‑term protection. By using the correct ratio and application method, you’ll ensure deeper absorption, effective moisture resistance, and a more reliable waterproofing outcome for your project.
