- Industrial Additives Features
- Product Highlights
- After application, it reacts chemically with the reaction groups of the treated material and forms a durable protective waterproof coating chemically bonded to the substrate.
- When used as an additive in paint materials does not reduce their storage stability. This allows to use it as an additive to various water-based paints (acrylic, styrene- acrylic, latex), to improve the properties of the paint, the technology of its application and properties of the coating.

- 1.0 - 3.0 wt%, 0.2 - 0.4 (Perlite or vermiculite), 0.1 - 0.2 (Clay)
- Product Applications
- As an additive to water-based paints based on acrylic, styrene-acrylic, latex, silicone or silicat;
- for hydrophobizing treatment of expanded materials (perlite, vermiculite, expanded clay);
- to impart water-repellent properties to stone wool and glass wool.
Application (examples)
As the additive to water based paints: Add undiluted to paints and varnishes during or after their manufacture in an amount of 1,0 to 3,0 % by weight of the total composition, mix thoroughly. To determine a more accurate dosage, it is necessary to conduct individual tests taking into account the type of coating.When processing expanded materials.
Preparation of working solution:
Dilute 1 L of Unisil SE-55L in (5 – 10) L of water, depending on the absorbency and type of the substrate. It is recommended to prepare a one-off portion of water repellent in the amount not exceeding the consumption per one working day.Application:
By spraying. The flow rate for hydrophobization of perlite or vermiculite is (0,2 – 0,4) % for expanded clay (0,1 – 0,2) % (by weight). The emulsion csn be sprayed onto warm foam to avoid an additional drying process. However, prolonged heating of the treated material should be avoided.
- Precautions for Use
- When sampling the product, do not allow it to remain in an open container for a long time. After partially withdrawing the product, the container must be hermetically sealed.
- Always test the selected concentration of Unisil SE-55L on a small sample of material to determine the optimum amount of material and suitability for your particular application.
