Application

Suitable for use on masonry substrates and fresh concrete.

Description

A blend of alkylpolysiloxane in an aqueous dispersion of hydrophobic substances. Aqua-Chek can be used on a wide variety of porous building materials to impart water repellency. Resistant to alkaline attack but has little effect on the water vapour permeability of substrates, thus allowing the wall to breathe. Supplied as a concentrate for dilution with water prior to use. Aqua-Chek has zero volatile organic compounds (VOC).


Features and benefits:

  • Contains no solvent.
  • Pronounced beading effect lasts for years, not months.
  • Virtually no change in surface appearance. Solvent-based products can darken masonry.
