BRB Siloen® 696

BRB Siloen® 696 is a water-dilutable solvent-free silane emulsion.

BRB Siloen® 696 is specially designed to be used as:

• Water repellent liquid admixture for non-load-bearing concrete-based products
• High-quality impregnating and priming of alkaline mineral surfaces

• High alkali resistance
• Dilutable with water
• Solvent-free
• Provides hydrophobic properties
• No loss in water vapor permeability

• Superior water repellency, especially for material with higher alkalinity (> pH 9)
• Easy to use
• Good depth of penetration
• Long-lasting water repellence
• Doesn’t alter the aspect of treated material
• Improved resistance to freeze-thaw de-icing salt stress
• No significant impact on the concrete rheology (when used as admixture)
• Provides good adhesion of paints (when used as a primer)

As a water-resisting admixture: BRB Siloen® 696 must be added directly to the cement mixer when preparing the mortar. Typical dosage is between 4.5 to 6 liters per 1 cubic meter of hydrated mortar or 0.3 to 1% by weight of dry cement. To ensure homogeneous dispersion, BRB Siloen® 696 should be diluted in the processing water. Exceeding the recommended dosage may lead to a loss of mechanical properties.

As an impregnating hydrophobic agent: BRB Siloen® 696 should be used undiluted for load-bearing high-quality concrete. Applicators are recommended to wait at least 4 weeks after production for the concrete to achieve complete setting. Surface moisture should not exceed 4%. Apply by flow coating at low pressure in two coats wet-on-wet. For even coverage, use a smooth roller afterward.
