Technical Caracteristics

Mixture of solvents and  silane/siloxane organic products.

Advantages and Uses

  • Great water-repellent properties.
  • Great barrier against capillary water absorption without creating any kind of layer on the substrate.
  • It does not block the pores. 
  • Great permeability against water vapour.
  • It prevents the substrate from damaging effects caused by humidity, avoiding them or reducing and delaying, at least, their appearance. 
  • High resistance to alkalis.
  • Great penetration capacity.
  • With condensation catalyst in order to get its maximum efficiency faster.
  • Good resistance against ultraviolet rays.
  • It does not produce any shine nor yellowish colour in the surface.
  • It reduces the parameter's dirtying, and the proliferation of algae.
  • Ideal for renovation works of natural stones.

Suitable Substrates

It should be applied on mineral-based construction substrates such as:
  • Brickwork or lime-sand blocks.
  • Porous limestone.
  • Concretes, specially porous ones, and mineral plaster.
  • Fibre-cement sheets.
  • Mineral base natural and artificial stones.
  • Granite, mineral whitewash, etc.
  • It is not suitable for damp-proofing of gypsum.

Application Procedure

  • Apply by means of a sprinkler or using an irrigation system,  saturating the treated surface.
  • It should be applied two or three times in a row, it is not necessary to wait for the coat to dry between one application and the other.
  • The substrate should be slightly wet, however you cannot apply the product in case of having superficial humidity stains or if you think the substrate might be soaked.
  • Do not apply it under extreme weather conditions, since it will reduce the penetration efficiency of the product.
  • Avoid its application on arid or hot substrates, as the penetration of the product will be reduced and therefore its reaction, decreasing its effectiveness.

Recommendations

  • Avoid as much as possible air contact (the container should always remain closed)
  • The product will always be kept at inferior temperatures to 30ºC and away from direct sun exposition.
  • Do not dilute the product with solvents.
  • Do not apply it with temperatures under 5ºC nor superior to 30ºC
  • Do not apply it under relative humidities superior to 85% nor on top of wet substrates.
  • Keep it in cool and dry places.

Consumption according to dimensions (kg/m²)

(The efficiently will depend on the application conditions as well as the compaction and the power of suction of each parameter)

Notas

The information and instructions in this datasheet are based on our current tests and technical knowledge. They are intended as general guidance and do not constitute a binding commitment by PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC. It is the sole responsibility of the user to verify, prior to use, that the product is suitable for the intended application and to ensure that it is applied correctly and in accordance with applicable regulations and good industry practice.

PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC cannot control how its products are applied on site throughout the entire project and therefore cannot accept responsibility for their application by contractors or other parties involved in the execution of the work. Support visits to the jobsite by our technical staff do not change that. Our responsibility is limited exclusively to defects that can be directly attributed to the supplied products, whether used individually or as part of a system, caused by manufacturing defects.

 

It is the responsibility of the project designer, site manager, contractor, or other relevant professionals to ensure that the selected products are appropriate for the specific project, taking into account their properties, the substrate, site conditions, and any existing issues.

In the event of a claim, the original packaging must be provided to ensure proper product traceability.

Any performance values stated for PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC products or construction solutions, whether in UNE standards or other applicable standards, are based solely on the specific test conditions defined in those standards (such as substrate type, temperature, and humidity). These values may not apply to situations where products are tested or used under different conditions.
