Silane 40

40% active, clear, penetrating silane water repellent

Silane 40 protects horizontal and vertical concrete and masonry surfaces against water and waterborne contaminants. It chemically reacts with the substrate to produce a long-lasting water repellent effect. The product’s low viscosity and small molecular size allow maximum penetration into the concrete or masonry surfaces. Treated surfaces maintain their vapor permeability, slip resistance and other surface characteristics.

  • Long-lasting protection of concrete and masonry against the damaging effects of water and deicing salts
  • Forms an effective chloride screen that reduces corrosion of rebar in reinforced concrete caused by water and water-carried salts
  • Does not form a surface film or gloss
  • Treated surfaces “breathe” – does not trap moisture
  • Reduces efflorescence, mildew and atmospheric staining
  • Leaves little or no residue on clean window glass. Always test
  • Safe for use on surfaces subjected to vehicle traffic
  • Resists water penetration when applied over existing shrinkage cracks of 0.02 inches or less

OVERVIEW

PROSOCO® Silane 40 is a clear, penetrating silane water repellent for concrete surfaces containing a solution of silane reduced in solvents. Silane 40 protects horizontal and vertical concrete and masonry surfaces against water intrusion and salt attack. The product’s low viscosity and small molecular size allows maximum penetration into the concrete or masonry surfaces. PROSOCO® Silane 40 chemically reacts with the substrate to produce a long-lasting water repellent effect. Surfaces treated with Silane 40 maintain their vapor permeability, slip resistance and other surface characteristics. Depth of penetration is controlled by the application rate (loading rate).
