BRB Siloen® WRE

BRB Siloen® WRE is a water-thinnable, solventless silane/siloxane emulsion concentrate.

• Masonry water repellents
• Water-repellent deeply penetrating primers for emulsion paints, plasters, and concrete coatings
• Impregnation of building materials

• Excellent depth of penetration
• Fast development of water repellency
• High water penetration resistance by capillarity without clogging pores
• High vapor permeability, breathability
• Strong resistance to alkalis
• Stable in storage even when diluted

• Enhanced beading effect
• Permanently water-repellent, breathable coating
• Protection against rain and runoff water, avoids chloride penetration
• Prevents efflorescence and stops the growth of microorganisms
• Does not alter the aspect of the substrate
• Designed to replace solvent-based silane/siloxane masonry water repellents
• Provides good adhesion for paints when used as a primer
• Superior performance at high dilution rates

As masonry water repellent:

Tap water is suitable for preparing solutions of BRB Siloen® WRE to an active substance content of 5% to 10% (dilute the product in the ratio 1:4 to 1:9). For very high-quality concrete, a 1:2 ratio may be necessary. Stir solutions to restore homogeneity if phase separation occurs. Apply by brush, roller, or low-pressure airless sprayer. Two wet-on-wet flood coats are preferred to ensure complete coverage.

As impregnating agent for construction materials:

Construction materials may be impregnated with dilute BRB Siloen® WRE solutions (1:20 to 1:50). The dilution ratio depends on the material and method of application (e.g., spraying or dipping).

A Product Safety Data Sheet should be obtained from your BRB office prior to use. ATTENTION: Before handling, read product information, Product Safety Data Sheets, and container labels for safe use and any physical or health hazard information.
