Athon WR 460 Emulsion is a 50% non-volatile emulsion containing water- dilutable silane and siloxane mixture for water-repellent treatment of surfaces.
•Good depth of penetration
•Rapid development of water repellency
•Highly durable and effective beading effect (water droplet formation)
•Non-tack drying
•Provides good adhesion for inks
•Compatible with water and environmentally friendly
•Stable in storage, even when diluted
Athon WR 460 Emulsion is an excellent water repellent for many absorbent mineral substrates such as bricks, natural sandstone and mineral agglomerates.
Not so suitable for dense and less absorbent natural stones, especially limestone, marble and reinforced concrete for bridges and roads (refer to Athon CA 770 Silane and Athon CA 794 Silane for this kind of substrates). Due to its aqueous consistency and storage stability when diluted, the product is ideally suited for factory waterproofing of prefabricated building elements based on clay, cellular concrete, mineral fibers and lightweight aggregates.
Athon WR 460 Emulsion can also serve as a water-repellent additive for water-based paints and plasters.
•Use as a hydrofobic impregnant agent:
Tap water is suitable for the preparation of dilutions of the product for use as a water-repellent facade. Dilutions of Athon WR 460 Emulsion in the ratio of 1:4 to 1:9 are recommended depending on how absorbent the substrate is. Always homogenize the concentrate and the diluted product before use. Apply dilution ready for use preferably by drenching. Two “wet on wet” coats are required to ensure complete coverage. If it starts to rain, stop the treatment and cover the impregnated areas.
•Use as an additive in concrete mixture
Pre-dilute Athon WR 460 Emulsion in a ratio of 1:4 with water. This premix should be added to the feed ratio of 1.0% to 5.0% of the cement content of the mixture. A significant reduction in water absorption can already be achieved at a concentration of 1.0% of the cement. The premix is added simultaneously or immediately after the mixing water – it should never be added together with other additives. The original water/cement ratio of the whole mix should be preserved – so the amount of water used in the premix should be discounted from the total water added. The longer the mixing time, the better the distribution of the product within the system, improving the additive effectiveness.
