- Application Details
- After dilution with water, SILRES BS 5140 should be applied to the freshly formed mineral fibers. The product can be diluted with any quantity of water. For the hydrophobation of mineral wool in terms of a post-treatment, the product should be directly applied to the mineral wool, example by spraying.
- The addition ratio based on the mineral fiber mass should be between 0.05 and 0.3 weight % (based on the weight of the dried final product). The quantity of SILRES® BS 5140 to be applied also depends on the desired water repellency of the final product; a general recommendation cannot be given. Individual tests must always be conducted in order to define the necessary quantities.
