WATERREPELL S

UNIVERSAL SILICON BASED WATER REPELLENT

BENIFITS

• Easily applied water repellent treatment giving a self-cleaning, hydrophobic surface to masonry, concrete
and asbestos sheeting.
• Excellent water repellent
• Excellent resistant to UV light.
• Minimizes efflorescence and prevents growth of fungus.
• Economical and very easy to apply
• Prevents entry of moisture into the walls, but allows the surface to breathe.
• Colorless hence maintains natural color of walls.

DESCRIPTION

WATERREPELL S is a ready to use, silane-siloxane based repellent which penetrates in concrete or cementitious substrates pores, providing an effective water repellent protective coating. Its UV resistant properties make the film durable for outdoor use. The use of silicone retards or prevents changes in the surface appearance by resisting the deterioration effects occurred due to atmospheric attack. Due to its excellent water repellent properties, dirt and other atmospheric impurities are washed off by rain and it’s clean appearance is maintained for a longer period. Also, WATERREPELL S prolongs the clear appearance of buildings and minimizes efflorescence.

USES

WATERREPELL S is suitable for external application to exterior walls of brick or concrete blocks, cement renderings, asbestos cement, concrete and all types of stone, including limestone. Also used as an injection damp coarse fluid and provides a durable barrier to water penetration of porous surfaces.

WATERREPELL S GIVES PROTECTION AGAINST:

• water Intrusion
• Salt Intrusion
• Weathering
• Spalling, Staining
• Efflorescence
• Fungi, Freeze-Thaw Scaling

WATERREPELL S CAN BE USED ON

• Architectural Concrete
• Structural Concrete
• Commercial Parking Garages
• Concrete Masonry Units
• Portland Cement
• Brick Masonry (non-glazed)
• Flagstones & Pavers (non-glazed)
• Limestone
• Sandstone

It is non-glossy and will not alter the color or surface texture of the natural substrate. This architectural grade sealer is 100% water vapor permeable and, unlike solvent-based products, is not hazardous. Water repellent S prevents moisture from seeping into concrete and also keeps damaging ice melting compounds from penetrating into concrete, making it especially ideal for use in parking garages where de-icing chemicals are required in order to protect from extreme moisture.

APPLICATION

Surface Preparation: All surfaces to be treated must be sound, clean and dry. Any defects and cracks, other than hair line cracks, should be made good. Dirty surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned and organisms such as algae or lichens should be removed. In no circumstances should detergents be used as they may reduce the efficiency of the treatment. The surface should be allowed to dry before the application of WATERREPELL S. WATERREPELL S should not be applied over mastics surfaces Glass, etc. should be protected against splashing during application.
Application: WATERREPELL S is supplied ready to use. Apply by brush or low pressure spray. The WATERREPELL S should be applied liberally so that it runs freely down the surface to about six inches below the point of application. When applying by spray, the pressure should be kept as low as possible to avoid excessive misting, and the nozzle held close to the surface. After application of WATERREPELL S, it dries within a few hours and becomes fully resistant to water in 24 hours. Brushes, spray equipment, etc. may be cleaned with water.

PACKING & COVERAGE

Packing: WATERREPELL S is available in 1, 5, 10, 50,100 liters carboys.

Coverage: 1Ltrs of WATERREPELL S will cover approx. 4 to 5 m2 of surface depending upon porosity and surface texture. Normally one coat is sufficient.

WATERPROOFING SYSTEM

Waterproofing system provides protection to the structure from water ingress. The practice of waterproofing dates back to ages where the different techniques used were bituminous, metallic sheet, poly-urethane based and so on.

The modern techniques used in waterproofing include:

1. Crystalline Waterproofing System

The crystalline waterproofing system works in a system where there are certain insoluble crystals which block the water bearing capillaries. This is a cement based system and is commonly used for the terrace gardens, balconies, basements, bathrooms, water tanks and other water bodies.

2. Flexible Membrane Waterproofing System

There are two main components involved for the successful working of the flexible membrane waterproofing system, Liquid Component and Powder Component. The liquid components acts as an acrylic emulsion and the powder component performs the function of a forming chemicals and fillers with polymer-modified cement. The combination of these two components forms slurry which is applied to the surface area needed to waterproof.

Importance of Waterproofing

Moisture and Humidity knows very well to find its way and seep into the interiors of your place thereby causing significant damage. It is very important to waterproof your home or building from all possible damage.

No waterproofing can lead to the development of cracks, paint peel off and even molds, mildew and air contaminants. It is also a great risk for the structure and foundation of the building. Not only for the building, it can also create health problems for the inhabitants. They also develop a musty smell which gradually increases making it difficult for the inhabitants.

Things to consider

Make sure you choose the best firm for waterproofing. If you select cheap waterproofing contractors you can also expect your work to be of cheap quality.
Before starting the waterproofing work give proper consideration to the area you need to waterproof in order to get an idea on the intensity of work to be done.
The right waterproofing system should be used according to their area of specification. That is, there are certain types of surfaces where crystalline waterproofing system is more suitable than the flexible membrane waterproofing system and vice versa. Though the products are of utmost quality there are fewer chances that you get the desired results.
Use the products before the expiry period. After which the application would not bring any desired results.

It is always recommended to go for those waterproofing companies which are BBB accreditation. In spite of spending a lot on this you deserve to get your waterproofing work last.
