Potassium Methylsilanetriolate

Product Overview

Potassium Methylsilanetriolate is a premium water-based silicone waterproofing agent widely used in the construction and building materials industry. Functioning as a highly effective hydrophobic impregnation, it penetrates deep into substrate capillaries to form a durable, invisible water-repellent barrier. This product serves as a reliable alternative to major industry standards such as Wacker SILRES BS 16 and Dow XIAMETER OFS-0777.

Working Mechanism

The active ingredients in Potassium Methylsilanetriolate react with carbon dioxide present in the air. This reaction creates an insoluble, network-like silicone resin film within the pores of the substrate. This unique mechanism ensures superior water repellency while maintaining the natural vapor permeability of the building material, preventing moisture entrapment.

Key Applications

• Surface Protection: Ideal for sandstone, limestone, marble, granite, brick, ceramics, and gypsum-based materials.
• Integral Waterproofing: Added directly to mixing water for cement mortar, concrete, or gypsum products to enhance overall moisture resistance.
• Damp-Proof Course Injection: Effective for treating rising damp in older buildings by injecting diluted solutions into wall bases.
• Aqueous System Additive: Used as a pH stabilizer in water-based paints and inks, accelerating film formation in silicone coatings.
