Potassium Methyl Siliconate SiFS-16

Description

SiFS-16 is an aqueous solution of potassium methyl siliconate for the impregnation of mineral construction materials in diluted form to make them waterproof. SiFS-16 reacts with the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) to form an active water-resistant substance which firmly combine with the surface of the masonry within 24 hours. SiFS-16 is an ideal and economical water repellent for various construction materials, especially for porous substrate. As with all siliconates, however, SiFS-16 can cause a white deposit on the surface of colored construction materials.

Features

• Cures with atmospheric CO2
• Colorless, preserve the natural appearance of the substrate
• Forms potassium carbonate as side products
• Suitable for thin and less damp walls
