WATER SHIELD

ProMasonry Water Shield is a clear, water based, low odor, penetrating Alkoxysiloxane water repellent for concrete and masonry surfaces.

SUGGESTED USES
Spray apply to vertical and horizontal concrete, concrete block, concrete pavers, natural stone, stucco and brick.

CHARACTERISTICS

  • Passes ASTM E514. Advanced silicone technology. Mitigates carbonation. Effective chloride ion screen. UV stable. Unaffected by microbiological activity.
  • Water vapor permeable.
  • Will not darken or alter light reflection of substrate when properly applied to a dry and untreated surface.
  • Repels water from penetrating substrate. Most damage to concrete, masonry and stone is due to water entry.
  • Meets all current VOC emissions for waterproofing concrete/masonry sealer.
  • Water based technology, low odor, easy handling and clean up.

PREPARATION

  • Substrate must be clean and free of loose debris, oils, paints, previously applied water repellents or any substance that can interfere with penetration.
  • Substrate must be dry; moisture in substrate will reduce penetration.
  • Re-point loose or deteriorating mortar, fill all voids and cracks in mortar.
  • Inspect flashing around all openings, caulking, expansion joints and roof components to determine condition and for evidence of water entry. Water Shield will not prevent water entry through cracks or voids in the substrate or other building components.

PRIMING
Priming is not necessary.

MIXING
Shake or stir until homogenous.

PLACEMENT

  • Always apply to a test area to ensure ProMasonry Water Shield will not affect the appearance of the surface due to reaction with previously applied materials or by drawing surface contaminants into the substrate.
  • For best results apply with a low pressure sprayer using a fan tip. For vertical applications begin at the bottom of the wall and work up generating a 4 - 6 inch rundown.
  • Work to natural break points in the structure.
  • Always keep a wet edge.
  • For horizontal applications begin at one edge and work backwards towards the opposite edge.
  • Apply enough material to saturate the surface, but do not allow material to pond. Brush out ponded material before surrounding area dries.

CURING
Protect from moisture and traffic for 8 hours. Material is fully cured in 14 days.

CLEAN UP
Clean tools, equipment and adjacent areas with water immediately after application. Clean glass with glass cleaner before material can cure.

PRODUCT HANDLING
1, 5 and 54 gallon plastic containers. 18 months in unopened containers. Protect from freezing. Transport and store in cool, clean, dry conditions in unopened containers. High temperature will reduce shelf life.
