SILRES® BS 1703 SQ (000010587)

1 of 110 products in this brand
SILRES® BS 1703 SQ (000010587) is specifically designed for the in-plant water-repellent treatment of fiber-reinforced cement products, including fiber-cement boards. Its main purpose is to greatly reduce the capillary water absorption of these construction materials once they have set and reached equilibrium moisture. The use of SILRES® BS 1703 SQ provides enhanced protection against water damage, contributing to the longevity and quality of fiber-reinforced cement products.

Properties

SILRES® BS 1703 SQ is a liquid but waterless oligomeric siloxane of a relatively low viscosity. It is not water-thinable, but intended to be used in water-based construction material processes involving high-shear mixer units, especially for manufacturing fiber-reinforced cement-products, like example fiber-cement board. As an admix additive for the integral waterrepellent treatment, it is usually added undiluted into the mixer.
