SILAN-TREAT 88-C is a deeply penetrating,
solvent-free, thixotropic silane-based water repellent for
concrete, stucco and other alkaline building surfaces. It is
supplied at 80% active solids content, and is applied
without dilution.
Common silane water repellents have the capacity to
penetrate deeply due to their low molecular weight, but
they are also relatively volatile. As a result, significant
portions of the applied treatment evaporate before they
can penetrate and react within the substrate. Ddue to its
thixotropic consistency, SILAN-TREAT 88C allows
sufficient material to be placed and for it to remain in
place for a sufficient period of time to achieve full
penetration and protection, generally with one
application.
SILAN-TREAT 88-C hydrolyzes under the influence of
substrate alkalinity and atmospheric moisture and
polymerizes to a polysiloxane which is tack free and
hydrophobic in nature.
SILAN-TREAT 88-C silane water repellent is
particularly effective for use on dense, high strength
concretes as may be used in construction of bridges, roads
and high-rise buildings, which are difficult to penetrate
with other types of sealers. It is suitable for use on all
types of concrete and other alkaline mineral substrates.
