SILRES® BS 1703 SQ (000096394)

1 of 110 products in this brand
SILRES® BS 1703 SQ (000096394) is also primarily intended for in-plant water-repellent treatment of fiber-reinforced cement products, such as fiber-cement boards. It exhibits a higher flash point and increased storage stability compared to SILRES® BS 1703. While it may have a slightly opalescent appearance with a slight yellowish discoloration, it does not affect the excellent performance of the product.

Applications
  • Fiber Cement Boards
  • SILRES BS 1703 SQ is added undiluted into the mixer, usually at dosage levels ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 % by weight based on the overall solids level. For the unimpaired product performance, proper mixing into the cement-based slurry is required. The product should be added to the slurry after all solids, especially cement.

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 e.g. fiber-cement board. As an admix additive for the integral water repellent treatment, it is usually added undiluted into the mixer.
