Hydrophobic treatment of cement pastes is most effective way to resist the penetration of water with aggressive ions to improve durability of cement-based materials. In this paper, the mechanism of carboxylic acid ammonium salt integral additionon hydrophobicity of cement-based materials is analyzed. The effects of carboxylic acid ammonium salt on hydrophobicity, moisture diffusion and hydration products are investigated by experimental methods.The results of water vapor sorption isotherm show that the addition of carboxylic acid ammonium salt increases the pore volume. The simplified analytical hydrodynamic model of cone type pore and Young’s relationship is proposed to analyze the relation between characteristic parameters of pore and the permeability of cementitious materials. It can be concluded that the hydrophobicity results from the change of pore structure and the hydrophobic surface of cone region. These results provide the guidance to design the durability and develop the new hydrophobic agent used in cementitious material.
