    Product Description (continued)

    We will focus on the following products and applications:

    1) General purpose masonry water repellents Silblock LO-N

    masonry water repellent and Silblock WA masonry waterrepellent.

    2) Silblock WSR masonry water repellent that combines oleophobic

    and hydrophobic behavior, typically resulting in an outstanding

    reduction of capillary water absorption and an increased stain

    resistance. It is a water-based stain and water repellent resin

    solution.

    3) CoatOSil* 2059 masonry water repellent that can impart water

    and stain resistance onto calcium carbonate based substrates.

    4) Paint additives that can add durability to exterior latex and

    acrylic based paints.

    General Purpose Masonry Water Repellents

    Silblock LO-N masonry water repellent is approximately 100%

    alkylated alkoxy siloxane which may be considered for use in water

    repellent treatments of highly alkaline building materials such as

    concrete, mortars, porous ceramic bodies (examples of which are

    ceramic roofing tiles and facing bricks), calcium silicate bricks and

    natural stones. It must be diluted before use in anhydrous solvents

    such as aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons (examples of which are

    toluene, xylene and mineral spirits).

    Silblock WA masonry water repellent is a 60% active silane/siloxane

    emulsion. It can offer excellent water absorption reductions and

    chloride penetration reductions (NCHRP244 Series II and IV). It may

    be considered for use in water repellent treatments of concrete,

    plasters/mortars, porous ceramic bodies, lime sand stones, natural

    stones and cement fiberboards.

    A New Intermediate for Masonry Water Repellents:Single-Product Innovation for Protecting Construction

    Materials

    Silblock WSR masonry water repellent is an innovative

    silicone-based emulsion that can combine water resistance and

    oil resistance properties in a single additive to be considered for

    formulated coatings used to treat masonry construction materials.

    By typically offering good penetration on highly alkaline building

    materials, Silblock WSR masonry water repellent can deliver

    advanced water and oil protection in numerous potential

    applications, including concrete, building restorations, bridge

    decking, patios and sidewalks, roofing tiles and interior counter

    tops. The material can help to reduce efflorescence and to improvefreeze thaw resistance.

    Silblock WSR masonry water repellent is a waterborne material

    that complements our solvent-based Silblock SO masonry water

    repellent. This combined offering gives flexibility of choice for a

    formulation that best addresses product requirements from both

    a performance and environmental aspect.

    With Silblock WSR masonry water repellent, we have combined

    oleophobic and hydrophobic behaviors in a single product,

    resulting in typically outstanding stain resistance and reduction of

    capillary water absorption.

    Note: Test data. Actual results may vary.

    Figure 1 demonstrates that Silblock WA masonry water repellent

    can provide performance similar to conventional solvent-base

    systems.

    Figure 1:The solvent based sealer (Silblock LO-N masonry waterrepellent) and the water-based sealer (Silblock WA masonry water

    repellent) were both diluted to 5.5% actives and applied by brush

    to different substrates. After seven days drying, the coated side was

    exposed to water and the water intake was measured by weight.

    The result is expressed as a percentage of the untreated uptake.

    Silblock WSR Masonry Water Repellent (continued)

    Silblock WSR masonry water repellent may effectively penetrate

    a number of building materials, including fresh concrete, plaster,

    calcium silicate brick, fibrous cement and expanded concrete, to

    deliver water and stain resistance. In addition, it typically allowsexcellent water vapor permeability, so surfaces can breathe.

    The performance of fluoropolymers as stain resistant materials

    is well known. However, they do not offer long-term water

    repellency. Alternatively, silicones are effective and widely

    used water repellents that can also provide vapor permeability.

    However, until now, due to lack of oleophobicity, silicones have

    exhibited limited stain resistance properties.

    The water absorption and stain performance of new Silblock WSR

    masonry water repellent on concrete was compared to stan-

    dard products and to untreated substrates. For testing, the five

    products were diluted to 5% actives by weight. The prepared

    emulsions were applied by brush to the substrate at 150 g/m2

    .After application, the panels were dried for seven days at room

    temperature. For the water absorption measurements, the coated

    sides of the specimens were exposed to tap water, and the water

    absorption was calculated as water uptake in %. The results are

    shown in Figure 2. Silblock WSR masonry water repellent ex-

    hibited low water absorption while the fluoropolymers exhibited

    significantly higher water absorption.

    Figure 2: Water Absorption of Various Fluoropolymers

    For the stain resistance test, drops of the following staining

    agents were applied to the coated substrates described above:

    Old machine oil

    Machine oil Olive Oil

    Mustard

    Ketchup

    The staining agents were left on the specimens for five hours and

    then washed off with tap water. The results are shown in Figure 3.

    Silblock WSR masonry water repellent was comparable with the

    silicone emulsion in terms of reduced water absorption and with

    the fluoropolymer in its stain resistance.

    CoatoSil* 2059 Masonry Water Repellent

    Non-Fluorine-Based Stain Resistant Penetrant

    The industry is making a strong effort to find alternatives to

    fluorocarbons for water repellency and stain resistance protectionfor substrates. Silicone-based sealers are of considerable interest

    for the improvement of capillary water absorption and minimiza-

    tion of oleophobicity for reactive masonry surfaces like concrete

    and marble.

    CoatOSil 2059 masonry water repellent is the first generation

    surface protectant for possible use with concrete and calcium

    carbonate based masonry. This non-fluorine-based masonry water

    repellent is inherently oloephobic and hyrdrophobic, due to its

    superior film forming capabilities. CoatOSil 2059 masonry water

    repellent can offer combined reduction in capillary water absorp-

    tion and organic stain repellency for calcium carbonate masonry

    such as quartz, tumbled marble, honed marble, limestone, certain

    pavers and terracotta. It is a solvent-less water-based emulsionof an aminofunctional siloxane. CoatOSil 2059 masonry water

    repellent has exhibited performance profiles superior to original

    silicone-type water repellents. Potential applications for this water

    repellent may include: office buildings, schools, parking garages,

    bridges, retaining walls, remedial applications as well as new

    construction.

    Silblock Additives for Masonry Paint Systems

    Paint systems are used primarily in the refurbishment and

    restoration of buildings. While a mineral-based paint may onlybe applied on an untreated substrate, silicone masonry paints

    may be applied easily on walls that have already been coated.

    The key characteristics of a properly formulated silicone masonry

    paint are the low water permeability (typical of emulsion paints),

    or high water vapor permeability (typical of mineral-based paints)

    and good weather stability.

    Silblock F masonry paint additive and Silblock 3657 masonry

    paint additive are solvent-less silicone emulsions to be considered

    for use in silicone masonry paints. Silblock F masonry paint

    additive can be considered for use with straight acrylics, where

    a high transition glass temperature is needed Silblock 3657

    masonry paint additive can be considered for use with styreneacrylics, where a lower glass transition temperature is needed.

    If a primer is required, either aqueous Silblock LD masonry water

    repellent or aqueous Silblock WA masonry water repellent may

    be considered.
