Hydropel WB - clear water repellant
Hydropel is a clear water based silane / siloxane compound formulated to impart excellent water repellency to a wide variety of mineral building materials. The product is designed to penetrate the first few millimetres of the surface rendering the substrate water repellent dramatically reducing the absorption of water and water born salts whilst still allowing free passage of water vapour.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Surface to be treated should be dry, firm and free from grime, oil and friable laitance. Surface should be cleaned with water or water and detergent and allowed to dry. It is essential that the surface be free of oily products such as form oil. (Use Chemgo special biodegradable cleaner).
Do not apply if rain is expected or if conditions are damp and cold (below 10'c) or if excessively hot and windy.
Do not splash or spray product on any surfaces not to be treated. If splashes do occur the product can be washed off with water before drying. If the product has dried it can only be removed mechanically.
