What is silicone powder water repellent and its use method

Summary:
Silicone powder hydrophobic agent uses a high-tech carrier and slow-release technology, so that the active material can be released in time after contact with water, and the formation of hydrophobic protection after the curing of the substrate. As a hydrophobic additive, it can be used in dry-mix mortar systems with cement and minerals as raw materials to prevent the absorption of water by capillary pores in the material, greatly reduce the water absorption of the substrate, and provide excellent hydrophobic properties to the material. Silicone powder hydrophobic agent is especially suitable for caulking agent, putty, waterproof mortar, as well as external wall insulation system plaster mortar, decorative mortar.


The use of silicone powder hydrophobic agent:

1. Silicone powder hydrophobic agent is mainly used for waterproof treatment of powder to make the powder waterproof effect. The recommended addition amount is 0.3-0.5%.

2, silicone powder water repellent can also be directly diluted with water to stir the material, standing for 1 to 5 minutes, when the waterproofing agent to use. Dilution with water was carried out at 3%-5%.

3. The amount of silicone powder hydrophobic agent added and diluted depends on the waterproof requirements of the substrate. It is recommended to determine the best addition amount after a small test before use.
