SILRES® BS 1701 features:

- Excellent penetration

- Solvent free and compatible with environment

- Low volatility

 

The treated concrete will have the following permanent properties.

- Significantly reduced chloride and water absorption

- No loss of air permeability

- Improved durability against freeze-thaw deicing salt stress

- Enhance durability

- Provides good adhesion to coatings

In building materials SILRES® BS 1701 reacts with moisture in the atmosphere and/or in the pores of building materials. The water in the pores eliminates the alcohol. The resulting active material greatly reduces the absorptive capacity of the concrete in the active zone (the depth of penetration after treatment), but does not block any pores. Impregnated building materials retain very high water vapor permeability.
