APS-236 Emulsion
Waterborne, organo-modified siloxane emulsion designed for use as a penetrating and durable water repellent for concrete, split-face block, brick, natural stone etc. Rejuvenates the color and appearance of worn and weathered surfaces.
Characteristics
- Superior water repellency for various substrates.
- Low dilution levels required for maximum performance.
- Chemically bonds to the treated substrate preventing potential
damage from repeated freeze/thaw cycles. - Excellent storage stability. Freeze/thaw stable and elevated
temperature (50oC) stable. - No change or slight change in surface appearance
- Can be used in admixtures for cementitious products
Application
- Substrate should be clean and free from any contaminants (dust,
dirt, oil, grease, curing compounds, paint/coatings, efflorescence,
etc.) before applying APS-236 Emulsion. - Dilute product to 5—10wt% depending on the intended use in
water (preferably de-mineralized) and stir at low shear.t - Two coats of the dilution should be applied wet-on-wet
(approximately 15—20 minutes in between coats) to ensure the
best coverage. Do not allow second coat to pool or puddle on
treated surface. - APS-236 Emulsion can be applied by brush, roller, spray or dip.
- A minimum of 24 hours should be allowed before treated surface
comes in contact with water. Maximum water repellency will
occur approximately 48—72 hours after application, depending
on the curing conditions.
