Civil Engineering, Construction & Exterior Paints
Applications
The SILRES® B series prevents water absorption by forming a hydrophobic layer when it penetrates the pores of inorganic building materials. Unlike film-forming coatings, these organo-silicone-based water repellents do not block the pores, thus maintaining the breathability of the substrate.
By coating, impregnating, or adding it internally to various substrates, silicone can add functionality to civil engineering structures.
Silicone adds functionalities such as water repellency by coating, impregnating, or adding it internally to thermal insulating materials for buildings.
Silicone adds functionalities such as water repellency and durability to architectural building materials by coating, impregnating, or adding it internally to various substrates.
Silicone can provide performance properties to gypsum boards, such as preventing water absorption.
Silicone is used in many applications for precast concrete products, which are manufactured in factories for easy on-site assembly and installation. These applications include water repellency and joint sealing.
The SILRES® BS series of water absorption and efflorescence preventives can add properties such as water absorption and efflorescence prevention to various substrates without changing their appearance by coating, impregnating, or adding them internally.
Silicone is widely used in paints for purposes such as resin modification, defoaming during the manufacturing process, and providing heat and weather resistance.
Compared to organic adhesives, silicone modified adhesives offer superior weather resistance, heat resistance, low temperature resistance, resilience, and fatigue resistance.
Silicone sealants are elastic sealing materials that offer excellent durability, weather resistance, and adhesion.
