A new high performance nanotechnology driven, clear breathable, deep penetrating water-based water and chloride repellent that provides exceptional penetrating power and water repellency.
Siloxa-Tek 8500 is a deep penetrating water repellent that protects against water-soluble deleterious materials, and freeze/thaw cycles. With its long established hydrophobic agents, and through the latest advances in nanotechnology, its intelligent nano particles provide even deeper penetration adding an extra layer of protection.
Once applied the change of the surface tension creates a surface environment that is hydrophobic forming an
effective shield that aides in a dramatic reduction of chloride and water absorption.
The proprietary nanotechnology offers deeper penetration when compared to traditional silane isomers resulting in an even longer service life that protects the concrete, forming an invisible barrier that leaves the concretes appearance completely natural.
Advantages:
- Composition -Nanotechnology driven high-performance isooctyltriethoxysilane. Its smaller molecular structure allows for deeper penetration increasing performance
- Excellent waterproofing - Penetrates deep within the concrete chemically reacting within the pores and capillaries creating a long-lasting hydrophobic surface that beads water
- 100% breathable - Non-film forming. Allows moisture within the concrete to escape without adverse effects to the sealer. Does not trap moisture
- Increases abrasion resistant - Reduces concrete dusting. Provides ease of maintenance, resist ASR / Alkali attack
- Protects against chloride ion penetration - Forms an effective chloride screen dramatically reducing chloride ion ingress preventing deicing salt / chloride damage
- Resists moisture intrusion - Resists wind-driven rain, prevents freeze-thaw damage, spalling, pitting and cracking.
- Resists organic growth - Resists mold, mildew, and efflorescence
- Department of Transportation approved - Meets or exceeds DOT specifications
- Improves durability - Prevents capillary uptake of water and the aggressive substances dissolved in it
- Resists freeze thaw and thermal cycling damage
- Natural flat finish - Does not change surface appearance, UV stable will not breakdown with light exposure
- Can be applied to cured, honed and polished concrete - Ideal for horizontal surfaces exposed to pedestrian and vehicle traffic, compatible with silicate densifiers
- Water based - Low VOC’s, low odor
- Penetrates never delaminates, never diffuses, peel or flakes will not discolor yellow or degrade from UV light exposure.
- CONCENTRATED: 1 gallon mixes with 4 gallon of distilled water to make 5 gallons of sealer
