    CREATING TOMORROW'S SOLUTIONS

    SILRES® BS 4004
    Silane Emulsions
    SILRES® BS 4004 is a water-thinnable, solventless emulsion, based on a mixture of silane and siloxane.

    Dilute solutions of SILRES® BS 4004 serve as highquality, general-purpose water repellents for hydrophobic impregnating
    and priming mineral surfaces. Mineral substrates treated with SILRES® BS 4004 are especially characterized by an
    excellent beading effect.

    Moreover SILRES® BS 4004 can be used for the mass hydrophobation of non-load bearing concrete products.

    Properties
    SILRES® BS 4004 emulsion contains a stabilized mixture of silanes and siloxanes that are susceptible to hydrolysis.
    Hydrolysis occurs only after application to the substrate, which breaks the emulsion. Alcohol is released and the emulsion is
    converted into a silicone resin water repellent.

    SILRES® BS 4004 reduces the capillary absorption of the building which it has penetrated, but does not clog pores or
    capillaries. There is therefore little or no impairment of the building material´s ability to breathe.

    SILRES® BS 4004 has the following special features:


    • good depth of penetration
    • rapid development of water repellency
    • highly durable and effective beading effect
    • tack-free drying
    • provides good adhesion for paints
    • water-based and environmentally compatible
    • stable in storage, even when diluted

    • Silicone Primers
    • Primer for Paints

    Application details
    Dilute SILRES® BS 4004 is an excellent water repellent for many absorbent mineral substrates, such as bricks, sand-lime
    brick, natural sandstone and mineral plasters. It is not so suitable for less absorbent, dense natural stone, especially
    limestone, marble and reinforced concrete for bridges and roads.

    Owing to its aqueous consistency and storage stability when diluted, SILRES® BS 4004 is ideal for in plant hydrophobation
    of building materials made of clay, aerated concrete, sand-lime brick, mineral fibers and lightweight aggregate.

    SILRES® BS 4004 may also serve as a water-repellent primer for emulsion paints and plasters, silicone resin emulsion
    paints and silicone resin plasters.
    Processing as a Hydrophobic Impregnating Agent:

    Tap water is suitable for preparing solutions of SILRES® BS 4004 for use as facade water repellent primer. We ecommend
    an active substance content of 5-10% (dilute the product in the ratio 1:4 to 1:9), the exact figure depending on how
    absorbent the substrate is. Always homogenize the concentrate and also the diluted product before use (short mixing).

    Apply the ready-to-use solution in the usual way preferred way. Two "wet on wet" coats are needed to ensure complete
    coverage. If it starts to rain, stop treatment and cover the impregnated areas.

    Processing as a Concrete Admixture (Water Resisting Admixture):

    SILRES® BS 4004 | Most recent change: 01.07.2020 2/3


    The recommended admixture range of a 1:4 dilution of SILRES® BS 4004 is 1.0 % to 5.0 % of the cement content. A
    significant reduction in water uptake can already be achieved at a concentration of 1.0 % of the cement. SILRES® BS 4004
    is added either simultaneously with or immediately after the mixing water – it should never be added along with other
    additives. To keep a constant w/c value the total mixing water is reduced by amount required earlier for dilution. We
    recommend testing compatibility with other concrete admixtures separately. A longer mixing time will thoroughly distribute
    the product within the overall system, which in turn will make it highly effective.

    When used in concrete goods or similar concrete products according to EN 1338, 1339 or EN 1340, an initial-type test (cf.
    section 6.2 of the respective standard) is recommended.

    Packaging and storage


    Storage
    The "Best use before end" date of each batch is shown on the product label.

    Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case
    however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons.
