CHEMSIL™ ZT300
Transparent water-repellent sealer
Product Description
CHEMSIL™ ZT300 is a clear, hydrophobic and oil resistant (oleophobic) siloxane/alkylalkoxysilane liquid that deeply penetrates to protect and preserve concrete/masonry surface. CHEMSIL™ ZT300 does this by condensing deep within the substrate. The dry CHEMSIL™ ZT300 application is completely invisible.
Product Uses
CHEMSIL™ ZT300 is used for all porous cementitious or natural mineral surfaces to internal or external walls, floors and paving including: concrete, brick, masonry, slate, terracotta, unglazed tile, sandstone etc., water and oil resistant.
- Oil resistant sealer to BBQ areas
- Anti-blooming sealer to walls and paving
- Anti-carbonation coating for exterior façades, walls, etc.
- Anti-fungal sealer to exterior porous paving
- Water-repellent sealer to single skin tilt-panel, brick and block
Note: Maximum waterproofing effect may take up to 8 days.
Advantages
- Fully Green Star compliant
- Easy to use, water based, single pack
- No “wet-look” or darkening of surface after drying
- Deep penetration, chemically bonds with substrate
- Unaffected by UV exposure, long life expectancy
- Treated surface allows substrate to breathe
- Reduces efflorescence and dirt pick-up
- Prevents concrete cancer and carbonation
- Eliminates moisture, prevents algae and mould growth
Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from contaminants. Repair all cracks and defects. Cure concrete 28 days and render 7 days. Protect glass from contact with product.
Application
Use low-pressure spray, soft bristled broom, roller or brush, to fully saturate the surface.
Vertical
Apply CHEMSIL™ ZT300 at the top until it begins to run down wall and maintain this “wet flow” until surface is totally saturated.
Horizontal
Flood floors and decks uniformly to saturate surface. Move any surplus liquid to adjacent untreated area by squeegee - remove any residues with warm soapy water and a cloth.
NOTE:
Chemsil produces a hydrophobic (water repelling) surface. Test adhesion of any coatings, adhesives, etc before use. Do not use to seal cracks or as a tanking membrane. For specific advice regarding application or use please contact your local GCP representative.
Coverage
Total application rate is 2 - 4m2/litre. Usage will vary significantly depending on porosity and texture of surface. Highly porous surfaces may require up to 1 litre/m2.
Packaging
CHEMSIL™ ZT300 is packed in 20L pails.
Clean up
Use soapy warm water to clean equipment or overspray.
Shelf Life
Sealed containers stored in a clean, dry place have a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture.
