Mineral substrates that are treated with SILRES® BS 30 are leading to a color enhancement. The treatment with undiluted SILRES® BS 30 leads to easy to clean properties against oil- and waterbased stains.
Processing
- Surface preparation depends on substrate placement, type and strength, curing and finishing processes, age, condition, previous contamination, and the presence of existing coatings as well as the application of SILRES® BS 30. Surfaces should be clean from dust, dirt, oils, grease, curing compounds, other coatings, efflorescence, and laitance before applying SILRES® BS 30. Cleaning methods which are compatible with the application of SILRES® BS 30 include:
- Mechanical - abrasive blasting (sand, baking soda, vacuum).
- Chemical - acid etching, stripping, solvent degreasing, caustic soda scrubbing, alkaline soap scrubbing, high pressure washing, high pressure washing with sand.
- Heat - propane and acetylene torching.
- If strongly acidic or caustic cleaning agents are used, neutralize the surface and completely wash to remove any residues.
- Before using any surface preparation method, a test patch should be performed with the customer's approval to ensure that their needs are met.
- SILRES® BS 30 should be applied as supplied to achieve the desired application effect. One to two coats of SILRES® BS 30 should be applied to achieve an enhanced appearance. Two to three coats of SILRES® BS 30 should be applied to achieve an enhanced appearance with gloss. SILRES® BS 30 can be applied with a soft, lint-free cloth, sponge, or paint brush. Excess material should be removed to prevent inconsistencies in the enhancement. The product should be fully cured within 24 hours.
- A test patch should be performed prior to general application with the customer's approval to ensure the desired appearance is achieved.
- Substrates which are coated with SILRES® BS 30 are generally re-coatable with SILRES® BS 30. A test patch should be performed prior to general application with the customer's approval to ensure that desired appearance is achieved.
Properties
- Typical Properties
Value Units Test Method / Conditions Density (at 25°C) 1.03 g/cm³ DIN 51757 Kinematic Viscosity (at 25°C) 14 mm²/s DIN 51562 - Properties
- Formulated to impart an enhanced appearance on stone and natural tile substrates.
- Depending upon application, it provides either a matte or a gloss finish.
- Hardened SILRES® BS 30 is UV stable and provides excellent water repellency to reduce cracking, spalling, freeze/thaw damage, chemical degradation, biological growth, efflorescence, and dirt pickup, thereby lengthening substrate life and reducing maintenance costs.
- Coatings are vapor permeable to resist cracking, peeling and blistering.
- Easy remove of stains with a tissue.
- One coat sufficient. Several coats possible.
- Solvent dilutable and environmental friendly.
- Superior storage stability including freeze/thaw stability for ease of use.
