AQUAPEL ™ and AQUAPEL + PLUS ™

New Generation, Micro-Emulsion, Silane/Siloxane Water Repellents for Horizontal Concrete Surfaces

Product Description

AQUAPEL is a new generation, 100% reactive, waterborne silane-siloxane sealer. This clear, penetrating, breathable water repellent is ideal for use on interior and exterior, above grade concrete. AQUAPEL penetrates the surface and chemically bonds directly with the substrate which results in a surface that is highly resistant to both moisture and salt.

AQUAPEL's unique, odorless, VOC compliant formulation offers permanent, invisible, non-yellowing protection. AQUAPEL's accelerated chemical reaction with the natural minerals in the substrate produces a stable and predictable hydrophobic surface within seven to ten days after application.

AQUAPEL is available in two concentrations. Regular AQUAPEL is ideal for normal duty, cast-in-place concrete with moderate exposure to salt and/or water. High solids AQUAPEL PLUS is for increased long-term protection on porous concrete, elevated structural concrete slabs, and on normal concrete with severe exposure to salt and water.

Basic Use: AQUAPEL effectively protects buildings, parking decks and virtually all concrete surfaces. It offers positive salt screening in northern, as well as southern climates. AQUAPEL's non-flammable, non-volatile formula minimizes corrosion of reinforcing steel and protects concrete from the damaging effects of deicer chemicals, road salts, and other chemicals. AQUAPEL's successful field and lab performance make it ideal for walkways, stairs, parking decks, garages, driveways, dams, piers, bus and truck terminals, precast and prestress concrete. Other uses include architectural concrete, concrete and brick pavers, and exposed aggregate surfaces.
