Silicone Waterproofing Agent

Product Name: Silicone Waterproofing Agent

Item No: SilibaseWR-1001

Introduction:

SilibaseWR-1001 Silicone Waterproofing Agent is a water-thinnable, solventless silane/siloxane emulsion. Dilute solutions of SilibaseWR-1001 Silicone Waterproofing Agent serve as high quality, general-purpose water repellents for impregnating and priming mineral surfaces. 

SilibaseWR-1001 Silicone Waterproofing Agent contains a stabilized mixture of silanes and siloxanes that are susceptible to hydrolysis. Hydrolysis occurs only after  application to the substrate, which breaks the emulsion. Alcohol is released and the emulsion is converted into a silicone resin water repellent. 

SilibaseWR-1001 Silicone Waterproofing Agent reduces the capillary absorption of the building which it has penetrated but does not clog pores or capillaries. There is therefore little or no impairment of the building material´s ability to "breathe". 

Chemical Name: Silane / Siloxane Emulsions

Typical Physical Properties:

Color and Appearance: Milky white

Density (25/25℃): 0.95

Active Ingredient: 40%

Application:

Dilute SilibaseWR-1001 Silicone Waterproofing Agent is an excellent water repellent for many absorbent mineral and even highly alkaline substrates, such as bricks, concrete, sand lime brick, natural sandstone and mineral plasters. It is not so suitable for less absorbent, dense natural stone, especially limestone and marble. 

Owing to its aqueous consistency and storage stability when diluted, SilibaseWR-1001 Silicone Waterproofing Agent is ideal for in-plant impregnation of building materials made of clay, aerated concrete, sand-lime brick, fibrous cement, mineral fibers and lightweight aggregate. 

SilibaseWR-1001 Silicone Waterproofing Agent may also serve as water-repellent primer for emulsion paints and plasters, silicone resin emulsion paints and silicone resin plasters, as well as for concrete coatings.

Tap water is suitable for preparing solutions of SilibaseWR-1001 Silicone Waterproofing Agent for use as facade water repellent or primer. We recommend an active substance content of 6-12% (dilute the product in the ratio 1:4 to 1:9), the exact figure depending on how absorbent the substrate is. For adequate penetration on very high-quality concrete, it may be necessary to dilute only 1:2. 

Apply the ready-to-use solution in the usual way; flooding is the preferred way. Two "wet on wet" coats are needed to ensure complete coverage. Owing to the content of wetting agent in SilibaseWR-1001 Silane / Siloxane Emulsions, reimpregnation later does not present any difficulties. 

If it starts to rain, stop treatment and cover the impregnated areas.

Packing and Storage:

SilibaseWR-1001 Silicone Waterproofing Agent is supplied in 25Kg and 200Kg drum. 

In the unopened original container SilibaseWR-1001 Silicone Waterproofing Agent has a shelf life of at least 9 months in a dry and cool place. 

Storage beyond the date does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons.
