Protekta Silane Cream                                                                                                          

A silane-siloxane based thixotropic cream.

Protekta Silane Cream is a low molecular weight, low volatility and creamy consistency to ensure deep penetration and also easy to see what surface is covered. High quality water repellency can be achieved even in the most dense concrete. Once the product has been applied to the concrete surface, it penetrates deeply into the substrate and polymerizes binding permanently with substrate, forming a permanent hydrophobic layer, which resists water, chloride ion and other pollutants.

Depending on the surface, Protekta Silane Cream can reduce water absorption almost completely by 94%; the chloride ion absorption rate reduced by more than 96%.

Uses

It can be used on reinforced concrete structures including bridges, piers, stones and marbles.

Advantages

•   Penetrates deeply into dense concrete
•   Simplified application on overhead and vertical surface
    due to its creamy or thixotropic properties
•   The product does not splash or run-off uncontrollably
•   Can be applied easily to a surface standing under it as
    it will not fall onto applicator
•   Reacts chemically with concrete to form a
    hydrophobic chloride / carbon dioxide resistant zone

Application

1. The surface should be clean and free from dust,
    loose particles, oil and grease.
2. Protekta Silane Cream can be applied to dry concrete
    surface by brush or roller or airless spray gun.
3. One coat is usually sufficient (depending on the depth
    of the concrete, the application rate may vary significantly).
4. Allow to air dry, cream will penetrate and surface will
    return to original unchanged look and water repellency
    will be visible within 24 hrs after drying.

Dosage : 40 – 50 Sq.ft./L

Protekta Micro Emulsion                                                                                                    

A silane-siloxane based for water repellency.

Protekta Micro Emulsion is an excellent silane-siloxane based emulsion for surface water repellency. Provides excellent anti-corrosion and anti-carbonation protection of reinforced concrete. This thermodynamically stable emulsion is supplied as a ready-to-use product. It is designed to be used for reducing surface water absorption of building materials and renders the surface water repellent and is permanently bonded to surface material and will not be washed out. Micro-size of particle is nano – can penetrate even dense surface.

Uses

It can be used to protect, maintain durability, and appearance of building facades made of brick, tiles, stones, concrete, marble etc.

Advantages

•   Easy to use, water based product
•   Non hazardous, non corrosive, and stable at high pH
•   It reduces surface water absorption by about 95%
•   Micro-size can penetrate into dense surface
•   Does not leave any oily or other residue on the treated surface
•   This water repellency zone also reduces efflorescence and staining
•   It passes IS 12027-1987 (Reaffirmed 2003)

Application

1. The surface should be clean and free from dust, loose particles, oil and grease.
2. Depending on the job, Protekta Micro Emulsion can easily be applied by brush, roller or spray.
3. The product is preferably applied by saturation flooding using a hand pressure spray or airless spray pump,
    so as to avoid direct contact of the brush or the roller with the surface.
4. For vertical surface, the product should be applied as a liquid thin film stream, which runs down the surface
    approximately 30-40 cm.
5. A second application should follow immediately after the first coat as it is absorbed by the surface temperature
    of about 20-25°C.
6. This is termed as “wet-to-wet” application. The object is to saturate the surface to allow uniform surface penetration.

Dosage : 25-30 Sq.ft./L

Packing : 20L, 50L, & 200L (Other sizes available upon request)
