Silane/Siloxane based hydrophobic impregnant
How does MasterShield PEL 355 work?
MasterShield PEL 355 is a one component, transparent, penetrating silane/siloxane impregnant. The product reacts chemically with a mineral substrate to form a surface that is repellent to water yet still permeable to water vapour.
MasterShield PEL 355 protects and preserves the substrate without altering the natural surface texture or colour.
What are the unique features of MasterShield PEL 355?
The MasterShield PEL 355 molecules are very small and highly mobile. The relatively slow solvent evaporation rate at 25EC allows it to enter even the smallest pores.
Its water vapour permeability allows the surface to "breath" naturally. The application of MasterShield PEL 355 greatly extends the life and colour retention of brick- work.
MasterShield PEL 355 can be used as an additional priming coat prior to acrylic protection barriers such as MasterProtect 160 against CO2 and SO2 attacks.
