Hydrophobic Modification of Concrete Using a Hydrophobizing Admixture

The construction industry relies on building materials that provide not only high physical and mechanical performance but also adequate thermal and durability properties. However, several factors still limit the quality and service life of concrete products. The development of the construction industry provides new opportunities for designing efficient construction facilities. To obtain enhanced design capabilities, it is very important to relieve the load on the structure, this can be achieved by reducing the mass of materials without losing strength. This study investigates the enhancement of foam concrete through the combined incorporation of mineral fibers recycled from basalt insulation waste and complex polymer modifiers. The aim was to improve the material’s mechanical performance, durability, and pore structure stability while promoting the sustainable use of industrial by-products. The experimental program included tests on density, compressive strength, water absorption, and thermal conductivity for mixtures of different densities (400–1100 kg/m3). The results demonstrated that the inclusion of mineral fibers and polymer modifiers significantly enhanced structural uniformity and pore wall integrity. Compressive strength increased by up to 35%, water absorption decreased by 25%, and thermal conductivity was reduced by 18% compared with the control mixture.
