Sodium methyl siliconate SiFS-15

Description

SiFS-15 is an aqueous solution of sodium methyl siliconate for the impregnation of mineral construction materials in diluted form to make them waterproof. SiFS-15 reacts with the atmospheric CO2 to form an active water-resistant which firmly combine with the surface of the masonry within 24 hours. As with all siliconates, however, SiFS-15 can cause a white deposit on the surface of colored construction materials.

Features

• React with atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2)

• Colorless, preserve the natural appearance of the substrate

• Forms sodium carbonate as side products

Application

• Imparts water repellency to:

- porous building materials like bricks, roof tiles.

- aerated concrete

- gypsum and gypsum-based fiber boards

- light fillers, such as perlite, vermiculites and aerated concrete granules

• Densifier for concrete

• Additives for mortars, aqueous construction coatings,etc

• Oil drilling industry: Adjust mud density to prevent drilling collapse

How to use

For surface treatment & impregnation, dilute SiFS-15 with waterbefore use, suitable methods like dipping is necessary in order to achieve an adequate, uniform coating. The product is not recommended for treating exterior walls, since the unnecessarily uneven application will give rise to white spots.
