Hydrophobic Agent

Product Name: Hydrophobic Agent

Item No: SilibaseWR-2306

Introduction:

SilibaseWR-2306 Hydrophobic Agent is high purity, undiluted iso-butyltrimethoxysilane. When diluted with an appropriate solvent, it can be used in the formulation of water repellent products. Upon proper application, the formulated product will penetrate and provide water repellency by chemically reacting with the cementitious substrate. Treated substrates are hydrophobic and retain their original appearance.  

SilibaseWR-2306 Hydrophobic Agent is a small molecule to allow for deep penetration into the construction materials (especially concrete and reinforced concrete) surface. This material reacts with moisture in the air and in the substrate in the presence of an alkaline or acidic environment to produce hydroxyl groups. These hydroxy groups will bond with the substrate and itself to produce a hydrophobic treatment that inhibits water absorption into the substrate. An alkaline environment, such as new concrete, will catalyze the reaction and speed the formation of the hydrophobic surface. 

SilibaseWR-2306 is like DowCorning’s Z-2306 silane, Wacker’s IO-TRIMETHOXY, Evonik Degussa’s Dynasylan IBTMO.

Application:

SilibaseWR-2306 can be used to render a wide range of surfaces and materials water repellent (e.g.construction materials, fillers), especially concrete and reinforced concrete. 

SilibaseWR-2306 should be diluted in solvents such as alcohols, chlorinated solvents, aliphatic solvents, and low molecular weight cyclic polydimethylsiloxane, Typical dilution levels are 40% and 20% SilibaseWR-2306 in a solvent. 

Blends of the solvents can also be used. The evaporation rate of the diluted material can be modified depending on the type and concentration of the solvent. Select the proper solvent for your application, as some silane/solvent blends may darken the surface.  

Methods of application include airless sprayer, roller and brush. When a brush or roller is used, repeated applications should be made until the surface remains moist for a few minutes. If an airless sprayer is used, application should continue until the substrate is thoroughly saturated. Sprayers should be fitted with solvent resistant hoses and gaskets. A test application is necessary on each surface to be treated to ensure compatibility and the desired water repellent result. Surfaces should be free of standing water, surface dirt, dust, oils, and other contaminants. The formulated SilibaseWR-2306 may be applied to damp surfaces although dry surfaces are preferred to achieve maximum penetration into the substrate.  

SilibaseWR-2306 can be used as a surface modifier to generate hydrophobicity and to increase compatibility to organic nonpolar matrices. 

SilibaseWR-2306 can be used in the production of silane crosslinking formulations. 

SilibaseWR-2306 can be used as a component for the manufacture of Ziegler-Natta Catalysts. 

Packing and Storage:

SilibaseWR-2306 is supplied in net weight 180Kg steel drum.  

In the unopened original container SilibaseWR-2306 has a shelf life of one year in a dry and cool place.
