Identification & Functionality

Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • After application, it reacts chemically with the reaction groups of the treated material and forms a durable protective water repellent coating chemically bonded to the treated surface.
  • When used as an additive in paints, the emulsion Unisil SE 50-53M usually does not reduce the stability of the paint during storage. This allows the use of the emulsion as an additive to various water-based paints (acrylic, styrene-acrylic, latex), improving the properties of the paint, the technology of its application, the properties of the coating.

Product Applications

For water repellent surface treatment:

  • brickwork made of ceramic or silicate brick;
  • reinforced concrete products;
  • concrete, aerated concrete;
  • lightweight fillers;
  • perlite;
  • mineral plaster;
  • ceramic materials (tiles).
Product Usage Information

Application at surface treatment

Preparation of surface:

  • Remove flaking, loosely bound to the base particles, remove dust and other contaminants. It is recommended to clean the surface with high pressure washers, steam cleaner, water jet or mechanically, remove dust. After wet cleaning, allow the surface to dry.
  • The application of the agent is recommended on a clean, dust-free surface. The application on a damp surface free from visible water is allowed.


Preparation of working solution:

  • Please dilute 1 L of agent in 5 - 10 L of water, depending on the absorbency and nature of the material to be treated.
  • The recommended amount of prepared water repellent solution should not exceed the amount required for one day of work.
  • Before use, please make a trial treatment on a small area of the surface or a single element.
  • The surfaces that cannot be treated must be closed to protect them from undesirable exposure to liquid.


Application methods:

  • Apply with roller, brush or spray gun until complete saturation of the surface, repeat application on still wet surface, i.e. "wet on wet". When application please provide uniform and complete absorption of the liquid in order to prevent spots and stains.
  • The consumption rate depends on the porosity of the material to be treated and the application method, and can range from approximately 0,2 to 0,5 l/m² of the prepared working solution.
  • Carry out work in dry weather conditions at temperatures between 5 °C to 25 °C. Drying time at a temperature of 20 °C is not more than 24 hours, at a lower temperature the drying slows down and may take longer.
