Silane Siloxane Sealer For Concrete Brick & Masonry Surfaces
Silane Siloxane sealers are suspended in either water or solvent based solutions. Both water based silane siloxane sealers and solvent based silane siloxane sealers offer the same benefits and expected life. The differences between the two only become important when it comes to resealing a surface, or resealing a previously sealed surface with a water…
Read moreThe three most common types of water repellent sealers derived from silicone are silane sealers, siloxane sealers, and silane-siloxane hybrid sealers. Silane Sealers: Silane sealers have a very small molecule size, allowing them to penetrate deep into the surface of the concrete or masonry. The small molecule size is both a strength and weakness. The…
Read moreWater based silane siloxane sealers are silane siloxane sealers suspended in water. The offer the same benefits as a solvent based silane siloxane sealer, they just have a lower VOC because of their water base. Water based silane siloxane sealers can be applied to a variety of surfaces including: Poured and pre-cast concrete Concrete block Granite Brick…
Read moreAs mentioned in our Water Repellent Comparison article, Siloxane sealers are chemically reactive water repellent sealers. They have a large molecule size and offer aggressive surface protection. The problem with Siloxane sealers is that their large molecule size prevents them from penetrating deep into the substrate and by remaining exposed in the surface pores, they…
