Key Attributes

• All-in-one hydrophobicity by hybrid technology
• Reduces the re-drying time
• Saving of resources
• Strongly reduces the capillary water absorption
• Increases the surface hydrophobicity and provides a good beading effect
• Improves strongly the water vapor permeability
• Low tendency to dirt pick-up
• Increases the early water resistance
• High durability in the final coating (the crosslinking character of VARIPHOB® AC 3030 prevents it from being washed out)
• Film-forming
• Easy to incorporate
• Free from cyclic silicones (D4/D5/D6)

Application Technique

• VARIPHOB® AC 3030 is especially recommended for pigmented formulations.
• Preferred Application Fields:
  • Dispersion paints and plasters
  • Silicate paints and plasters
  • Silicone resin paints and plasters

Recommendation for Use

• In classic color formulations, a combination of silicone resin and silicone oil is typically used to adjust the hydrophobic properties of the coating material.
• Thanks to its unique hybrid technology, VARIPHOB® AC 3030 can be used to create formulations containing only VARIPHOB® AC 3030 as a hydrophobic component. This simplifies recipes and reduces the number of raw materials used.
• We generally recommend adding 1.0 - 8.0 % VARIPHOB® AC 3030 in aqueous coating systems related to the total formulation.
• The optimal dosage has to be determined in pre-trials.
• The product is typically considered a binder when calculating the pigment volume concentration due to its crosslinking character.
• In aqueous coating systems the product is added during or at the end of the production process.

Storage & Handling

Shelf Life

12 months

Storage Conditions

• In closed original containers at room temperature (approx. 23°C) the product will be stable for at least 12 months.
• Stir before use.

Stability

• VARIPHOB® AC 3030 is sensitive to frost, after the impact of temperatures below the freezing point irreversible changes can occur.
• The containers must be protected from direct sun radiation and keep from temperatures higher than 30°C.
