Facade Cream Water Repellent 5 Litre

Details

Funcosil FC is a special product for hydrophobizing impregnation of brick, clinker, sand-lime brick and render.

Characteristics:
• Reduction of water absorption with simultaneous
• High diffusion capacity
• Excellent penetration capacity
• Optimal resistance against alkalis
• Strong protective effect against frost/de-icing salt loads
• Creamy and can therefore be applied without loss
• Can be worked over-head
• Early rain tight

Funcosil FC is excellently suited for hydrophobizing mineral building materials. As opposed to conventional liquid products, Funcosil® FC can be applied in just one working operation. Depending on porosity, the effective ingredient penetrates into the substrate where it reacts and becomes a polysiloxane. The initially white layer disappears completely after approx. 10 to 20 minutes.

Funcosil FC has been designed so that the active ingredient penetrates as deeply as possible into the facade which provides optimal protection against the absorption of water and pollutants and therefore also damage caused by frost- /de-icing salt. The water repelling effect takes longer to develop with emulsions and is improved by rain.

Substrate:
The substrate must be in sound condition. Structural defects such as cracks, cracked joints, defective connections, rising damp and hygroscopic moisture must be remedied first.

It must also be ensured that water and damaging salts dissolved in the water cannot penetrate behind the hydrophobized zone. Surfaces to be impregnated often have poor absorption capacity because of a crust of dirt/patina of various types. The cleaning measures used to restore the original absorption capacity should be as gentle as possible, e.g. by spraying with cold or warm water or by steam cleaning. Stubborn soiling is preferably removed by mechanical means.
