HIGH PERFORMANCE, CLEAR, BREATHABLE, WATER

HIGHEST DEPTH OF PENETRATION.

SILOXA-TEK® 8500

Water Repellents

A new high performance

nanotechnology driven, clear

breathable, deep penetrating

water-based water and chloride

repellent that provides

exceptional penetrating power

and water repellency.

Siloxa-Tek® 8500 is a deep

penetrating water repellent that

protects against water-soluble

deleterious materials, and

freeze/thaw cycles. With its long

established hydrophobic agents,

and through the latest advances

in nanotechnology, its

intelligent nano particles

provide even deeper

penetration adding an extra

layer of protection.

Once applied the change of the

surface tension creates a surface

environment that is

hydrophobic forming an

effective shield that aides in a

dramatic reduction of chloride

and water absorption.

The proprietary nanotechnology

offers deeper penetration when

compared to traditional silane

isomers resulting in an even

longer service life that protects

the concrete, forming an

invisible barrier that leaves the

concretes appearance

completely natural.
