PROTECTOSIL® AQUA-TRETE® EM

Low-VOC waterborne emulsion. Silane/siloxane breathable reactive penetrating water repellent.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

Protectosil® AQUA-TRETE® EM is a penetrating, waterborne, vapor-permeable water repellent for use on concrete, brick, concrete masonry units and some natural stones. As a ready-to-use, low-VOC, silane/siloxane emulsion, this product reduces the ingress of water and waterborne contaminants by chemically bonding with siliceous materials within a substrate to form a permanent attachment to the water repellent molecule. This can prevent premature deterioration among other things.

APPLICATIONS:

Protects concrete from the effects of water, deicing salts
and other waterborne chemicals. Keeps concrete and other
substrates, including stucco, sandstone, terra-cotta, hand
molded bricks and some natural stones, clean by reducing the
amount of dirt and other pollutants that may be absorbed.
Prevents moisture absorption in brick masonry, especially
single wythe wall construction. Protects concrete masonry
units (medium- to normal-weight split-face, fluted or ground
faced blocks) from the ingress of wind-driven rain.
