HYDROQUEL IS SOLVENT-FREE AQUEOUS SILANE/SILOXANE CONCENTRATE WITH AN ENHANCED SUFACE BEADING EFFECT. IT IS DESIGNED TO REPLACE GENERAL PURPOSE SOLVENT-BASED SILANE/SILOXANE MASONARY WATER REPELLENTS. THE SILANE/SILOXANE REACTS WITH MASONARY SUBSTRATES PROVIDING PERMANENT WATER REPLELLENCY TO THE MANSONARY.

HYDROQUEL WHEN DILUTED WITH WATER IS RECOMMENDED FOR THE WATER REPELLENT TREATMENT OF ALMOST ALL MASONARY SUBSTRATES INCLUDING CONCRETE, CEMENT MORTAR ORRENDERS, CLAY BRICKS, TERRA COTTA TILES AND NATURAL STONES SUCH AS SANDSTONE, LIMESTONE AND SLATE ETC.

INSTUCTIONS FOR USE – STIR HYDROQUEL BEFORE DILUTION. A WORKING SOLUTION OF HYDROQUEL CAN BE MADE BY DILUTING THE HYDROQUEL WITH DEMINERALISED WATER TO A RATIO OF ONE PART HYDROQUEL TO NINE PARTS WATER (1:9 DILUTION). CONCENTRATION MAY BE CHANGED DEPENDING ON APPLICATION. A TEST SHOULD BE CONDUCTED BEFORE APPLICATION. SUCH A DILUTION SHOULD BE STABLE FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS.
THE ABOVE SOLUTION CAN BE APLIED TO MASONARY SUFACES BY BRUSH, ROLLER OR SRAYER. A GARDEN SPRAYER OR LOW PRESSURE AIRLESS SPRAYER IS PREFERRED. ONE OR TWO COATS MAY BE REQUIRED DEPENDING ON APPLICATION. IF TWO COATS ARE REQUIRED, THE SECOND COAT SHOULD BE APPLIED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIRST COAT IS ABSORBED BY THE SURFACE. THIS IS CALLED WET-ON-WET APPLICATION. THIS IS TO AVOID POSSIBLE POOR SPREADING OF THE SECOND COAT CAUSED BY THE BEADING EFFECT AFTER THE FIRST COAT DRIES. THIS MAY RESULT IN DIFFICULTY FOR THE SECOND APPLICATION OR CAUSE AN UNEVEN SUFACE FINISH. ALWAYS STIR SOLUTION BEFORE USE.

HANDLING AND STORAGE – HYDROQUEL IS CLASSIFIED AS A NON-HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. HOWEVER AS WITH ALL CHEMICAL PRODUCTS, GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT. THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE STORED IN CONTAINERS IN A COOL DRY PLACE AWAY FROM ANY IGNITION SOURCES.    CLOSED
