Product Specification: Liquid Silicone BS-16

Packing: 20 & 35 kg

Origin: Germany

Application:

• Imparting water repellency to:
  • Low-fired clay products immediately after they have been made: e.g. roof tiles, facing bricks, floor tiles, flower pots
  • Aerated concrete
  • Gypsum and gypsum-based plasterboards
  • Light fillers, such as perlite, vermiculites and aerated concrete granules
  • Insulating materials
• Processing
  • Diluted with water BS-16 is used for impregnating the surface of masonry materials when a suitable means of achieving an adequate, uniform coating, e.g. dipping, is available. The product is not recommended for treating the outside walls of buildings since the necessarily uneven application will give rise to white spots.
• Dilution
  • BS-16 is supplied as a concentrate and is diluted with water before use. Ordinary tap water maybe used. It is best to add the BS-16 masonry water repellent to the water with vigorous stirring.
