SILICONE WATER-REPELLENT AGENT AQUAPROOF-1 (AKVAPROK-1)*

FEATURES

Water-repellent agent Aquaproof-1 – water solution of potassium methylsiliconate. Aquaproof-1 Standard is ready to use liquid. Aquaproof-1 Concentrate and Superconcentrate require dilution with water, depending on the tasks.

 

APPLICATIONS

Surface and volume hydrophobization construction materials:

Brick, Concrete, Foam concrete, Coquina, Plaster, Limestone, Asbestos products, Slate, Tile, Gypsum fiber boards, Marble.

 

ADVANTAGES

  • Aquaproof-1 is a plasticizer of II, III, IV groups and air-entraining admixture preparing the concrete solutions
  • Reduces the water absorption up to 1,5 times
  • Provides natural ventilation of the buildings
  • Preserves the appearance of the material
  • Prevents the contamination of the textured layer
  • Prolongs the service life of the buildings up to 3 – 5 times
  • Prevents the decreasing of the heat-insulating properties of the material
  • Ensures sustainability to ultraviolet rays and infrared
  • Provides increasing the frost resistance of the buildings up to 2 – 3 times
  • Provides increasing the corrosion resistance up to 1,5 – 2 times
  • Protects against efflorescence occurrence
  • Protects against the destructive action of mosses and lichens

MATERIAL CONSUMPTION FOR SURFACE TREATMENT

Consumption of working solution depends on porosity of treated material and it averages 350 ml/m2.

 

MATERIAL CONSUMPTION FOR VOLUMETRIC TREATMENT

When preparation of building solutions and concrete Aquaproof-1 is to be introduced together with mixing water by weight of the binder – cement or lime in amount:

Aquaproof-1 Standard

Aquaproof-1 Concentrate Aquaproof-1  Superconcentrate
0,75-1,5 % 0,25-0,5 %

0,1-0,2 %

 

INFLICTION TECHNIQUES

Brush, roller or spray.

SAFETY INFORMATION

The agent is non-toxic, fire and explosion proof, but it has alkaline properties. When working, wear rubber gloves, goggles, spray from windward side, use respirator.
