Hi,
I want to know the coverage capacity of water repellant ie: lit/m2

The coverage rate varies with building material porosity. For instance, the coverage rate on poured in place, smooth face, concrete could be as high as 200 sq/ft per gallon where light weight CMU may require 40 sq/ft per gallon to achieve effective water repellent protection.
