DESCRIPTION

ChimneySaver Solvent-Base Water Repellent is a penetrating water repellent which contains a proprietary modified siloxane in a mineral spirits carrier. The modified siloxane penetrates most masonry and concrete pores and capillaries up to 1/4 inch or more depending on surface porosity and moisture content at the time of application. ChimneySaver Solvent-Base Water Repellent reacts with the silica in concrete and masonry in the presence of ultraviolet light and atmospheric moisture. This reaction forms strong permanent bonds beneath the surface and creates a hydrophobic zone that prevents water molecules from penetrating, while allowing free migration of water vapors. The chemical bonds formed in this process allow the product to become an integral part of the substrate and provide long-term water repellent protection.

USES

ChimneySaver Solvent-Base Water Repellent can be used on most vertical or horizontal exterior, above-grade masonry surfaces including: adobe, architectural concrete (precast or cast-in-place), clay brick, mortars, natural stone, limestone, granite, sandstone, terra cotta, exposed aggregate products, Portland cement, stuccos and concrete masonry units. Natural substrate color and surface textures are unaffected, with little or no gloss created.
