- Application Details
- Dilute SILRES® BS 1001 is an excellent water repellent for many absorbent mineral substrates, such as bricks, sand-lime brick, natural sandstone and mineral plasters. It is not so suitable for less absorbent, dense natural stone, especially limestone, marble and reinforced concrete for bridges and roads.
- Owing to its aqueous consistency and storage stabilitywhen diluted, SILRES® BS 1001 is ideal for in-plant impregnation of building materials made of clay, aerated concrete, sand-lime brick, fibrous cement, mineral fibers and lightweight aggregate.
- SILRES® BS 1001 may also serve as a water-repellent primer for emulsion paints and plasters, silicone resin emulsion paints and silicone resin plasters as well as for concrete coatings.
Processing- Tap water is suitable for preparing solutions of SILRES® BS 1001 for use as facade water repellent primer. We recommend an active substance content of 5-10% (dilute the product in the ratio 1:4 to 1:9), the exact figure depending on how absorbent the substrate is.
- Apply the ready-to-use solution in the usual way; flooding is the preferred way. Two "wet on wet" coats are needed to ensure complete coverage. If it starts to rain, stop treatment and cover the impregnated areas.
Properties
- Typical Properties
- Properties
- SILRES® BS 1001 emulsion contains a stabilized mixture of silanes and siloxanes that are susceptible to hydrolysis.
- Hydrolysis occurs only after application to the substrate, which breaks the emulsion. Alcohol is released and the emulsion is converted into a silicone resin water repellent.
- SILRES® BS 1001 reduces the capillary absorption of the building which it has penetrated, but does not clog pores or capillaries. There is therefore little or no impairment of the building material´s ability to "breathe".
- Good depth of penetration
- Resistance to alkalis
- Rapid development of water repellency
- Provides good adhesion for paints
- Water-based and environmentally compatible
- Stable in storage, even when diluted

Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
- Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons.
- The more dilute they are, the more they tend to cream. However, this phase separation may be reversed by brief stirring or agitation. This will restore it to a homogeneous emulsion, without loss of efficacy.
- SILRES® BS 1001 contains minor amounts of a preservative that protects the emulsion against microbial contamination and fungal attack. The quality of the water used may make it necessary to add a biocide after dilution; in principle, nearly any water-based preservative may be used.
