WATER REPELLENT (SOLVENT BASED)

Silicone based water repellent highly recommended for hydrophobization of facades. Damage to facades and porous building materials is mostly due to moisture, rain and beading water. Water repellent limits the penetration of water into the material without preventing it from breathing by obstructing the pores.

Damp is the enemy of building materials. Rain for instance causes various kinds of damage to walls: cracking, erosion, splitting, mold, chemical damage and a reduction in heat-insulating properties. This product limits water penetration preventing substrate damage. Ideal for the treatment of building materials like concrete of all types, inorganic plasters, asbestos cement, chalky sandstone, masonry, artificial or natural stones, cellular concrete, plasters based on mineral paints, etc.

Surfaces should be solid, clean and dry, free from oil, grease, salt, dust and other contaminants.

1. Alkaline and acid surfaces should be cleaned and neutralized.
2. Deteriorated previous coatings, weak and blistered paints or chalky substances should be removed by scrapers, paint removers or flame spraying.
3. Holes, crevices, hollows, irregularities etc. … should be filled with Ready Putty
