Description

XIAMETER OFS-0777 Siliconate is a water-dilutable solution of potassium methyl siliconate designed to impart water repellency to a wide variety of surfaces. Supplied at a concentration of 40 percent in water, XIAMETER OFS-0777 Siliconate is usually diluted to a concentration of 3 percent or less before application. The siliconate reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form an insoluble water-resistant treatment within 24 hours.

Applications

• As a surface treatment in applications that utilize its ability to impart a water repellent surface and reduce water absorption

• For use on bricks, sandstone, limestone, and ceramics

• As water repellent for wood surfaces impregnation

Features

• Imparts water repellency to a wide variety of substances

• Can be applied by vacuum impregnation or surface treatment (brushing/ rolling/ dipping) for the surface treatment of wood

Benefits

• Reduces water absorption into the substrate, thus reducing spalling due to freeze-thaw and efflorescence, thereby increasing the life of the substrate

• Impregnation of wood with XIAMETER® OFS-0777 reduces capillary water absorption of treated surfaces

• Impregnation of wood with XIAMETER OFS-0777 enhances release of tannins, leading in some cases to more greyish appearance

• Colorless and non-yellowing protection preserves the natural appearance of inorganic substrates

• Penetrating and breathable

• Low VOC

• Nonflammable

Composition

• Water dilutable potassium methyl siliconate solution

• Clear to slightly yellow
