BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT

DESCRIPTION: BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT is a clear, silicone based waterproofer used for invisible protection on virtually all types of above grade concrete, brick, stone and masonry. BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT produces a hydrophobic barrier that is a 5% solids formulation. Water is used as its carrier.

USES AND APPLICATIONS: BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT may be used on vertical and horizontal above grade surfaces that must be protected from water and salt intrusion. Typical applications are as follows:

• Waterproofing masonry surfaces such as concrete, stucco, block, brick and stone
• Bridge and Parking Decks
• Land Barriers and Toll Islands
• All new or old concrete

• Excellent penetration of new or old concrete surfaces
• Does not discolor the substrait
• Low viscosity for maximum penetration of substraits
• Excellent resistance to ultraviolet light, salt intrusion and is alkali resistant
• Reduces Efflorescence
• Provides an economical protection for brick, block and similar masonry surfaces

PACKAGING: BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT is supplied in 1, 5 and 55 gallon containers

STORAGE CONDITIONS: BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT should be stored between 40º to 85ºF (16º to 29ºC) in a dry area. The shelf life is one year in the original unopened container. Protect the material from excessive heat and do not freeze

COVERAGE: BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT will cover approximately 500 to 750 sq. ft. (46 to 70 sq. m.) per 5 gallon pail depending on the porosity of the substrait.

COLOR: BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT is available in clear only!

PRODUCT MIXING: BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT is supplied as ready to use product and no mixing is required before application.

PRIMING: Priming is not required in any application of BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT

Existing Concrete: All spalling, loose, fragmented or unsound concrete should be removed by use of chipping hammers, small scarifies or other mechanical means. Heavy deposits of oils or grease may be removed by abrasive blasting or scrubbing with an industrial de-greasing agent. After scrubbing, flush thoroughly with clean water and then allow to dry completely before proceeding with the application. All patching and sealant work must be done prior to application.

New Concrete: All newly placed concrete must be cured for 28 days. If membrane curing compounds have been used, they must be completely removed by paint strippers, abrasive blasting or scarification.

APPLICATION: BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT may be applied by roller, squeegee or sprayer; For best results, the substrait should be thoroughly cleaned and dry prior to application of BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT. Application to a damp surface will greatly reduce the penetration of this type of material. For vertical surfaces, apply BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT from the top down. Apply sufficient materials to obtain an 8 to 10 inch (20 to 26 cm) run down from the point of application. On horizontal surfaces, flood the substrait with BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT. Using a roller or a squeegee, evenly distribute the material over the substrait and avoid puddling. Two coats are recommended for most substraits with a wet on wet application being preferred.

POT LIFE: BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT has an unlimited pot life but is moisture sensitive and you should avoid excessive opening and closing of the container.

DRYING TIME: BVS 5% V.O.C. SILICONE WATER REPELLENT should be protected from rain or traffic for 6 hours after application to allow drying time.
