Silicone water repellent

Based on its extensive experience in this field, Silways is regarded as a leading China manufacturer, supplier, exporter of silicone water repellents. The waterproofness of the product has been subjected to various rigorous tests to ensure its effectiveness.

Building materials that have been treated with a silicone water repellent retain their vapour permeability.

This is because organosilicon water repellents do not seal the pores at the surface of the mineral masonry substrate, but form a very thin layer on the pore walls. Siliconized pores are no longer wetted by water, and capillary water uptake is prevented.

Silicone water repellent Industry Knowledge Extension

Application range of silicone water repellent
Silicone water repellents are versatile products that can be applied to a wide range of surfaces to provide water and moisture resistance. Here are some examples of surfaces that can benefit from the application of a silicone water repellent :
1. textiles: Silicone water repellents can be applied to outdoor clothing, camping gear, and other textiles to provide protection against rain, snow, and other forms of moisture.
2. Building materials: Silicon water repellents can be applied to building materials such as brick, concrete, and stone to protect against moisture damage and to help prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
3. Automotive surfaces: Silicon water repellents can be applied to automotive surfaces such as windshields, paint, and tires to provide protection against rain, snow, and other forms of moisture.
4. Electronic devices: Silicon water repellents can be applied to electronic devices to protect against moisture damage and help extend the lifespan of the device.
5. Wood surfaces: Silicon water repellents can be applied to wood surfaces such as decks, fences, and outdoor furniture to provide protection against moisture damage and to help prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
It is important to choose the appropriate silicone water-repellent product for the specific surface being treated and to follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and maintenance.
The waterproof principle of silicone water repellent
The waterproof principle of silicone water repellent is based on its ability to create a hydrophobic (water-repelling) surface on the treated material. Silicone molecules have a unique chemical structure that allows them to form a protective layer on the surface that repels water and other liquids. This layer prevents water from penetrating the surface and allows it to bead up and roll off instead.
The silicone water repellent works by bonding with the surface on a molecular level to create a strong, durable barrier that is resistant to moisture and water damage. When applied to a surface, the silicone water repellent fills in the pores and imperfections of the material, creating a smooth and even surface that resists water penetration. This not only provides protection against water damage but also helps to prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
Overall, the waterproof principle of silicone water repellent is based on its ability to create a hydrophobic barrier that repels water and moisture, providing long-lasting protection for a variety of surfaces.

Here are some general guidelines to follow when using silicone water repellent :
1. Choose the appropriate product for the surface being treated. There are different types of silicone water-repellent products for different surfaces, so be sure to choose the right one for your needs.
2. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the silicone water repellent. Remove any dirt, debris, or previous treatments to ensure maximum adhesion and effectiveness.
3. Apply the silicone water repellent evenly and thoroughly. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for application, and apply enough product to cover the entire surface.
4. Allow the surface to dry completely before exposing it to moisture. Depending on the product, this may take several hours or more.
5. Reapply the silicone water repellent as needed. The durability of the treatment will depend on factors such as the surface being treated, the environment it is exposed to, and the specific product used. Check the surface periodically for signs of wear or damage and reapply the treatment as needed.
6. Dispose of any leftover products and clean up any spills or drips. Follow appropriate disposal and clean-up procedures to minimize environmental impact and ensure safety.
7. As with any product, it is important to carefully read and follow the manufacturer's instructions when using silicone water repellent to ensure maximum effectiveness and safety.
