SILRES® POWDER D is a high-quality specialty product for enhancing the water repellency and water resistance of non load-bearing precast concrete products or mineral construction material mixes, e.g. premixed plasters, joint mortars and powder paints.
Properly formulated products exhibit:
- low water absorption coefficients
- excellent droplet effect
- low soiling tendency
- durability
SILRES® POWDER D can be used in both dry powder and liquid systems.
To produce non load-bearing precast concrete products or mineral construction material mixes such as premixed plasters, joint mortars or powder paints mix SILRES® POWDER D with the other dry materials using suitable equipment.
Very good water repellency and durability can be achieved with 0.1-0.5% based on the dry weight.
After sufficient water has been added, mortars can be mixed by hand or machine. Since mixing by hand only generates low shear forces, it is best to allow the mixture to mature by leaving it to stand for 5 minutes, and then to stir it again.
