Dow Water repellent Portfolio range

DOWSIL™ GP SHP 60 PLUS is a free-flowing powder designed to improve hydrophobic performance for cementitious dry-mix powder applications. DOWSIL™ GP SHP 60 PLUS display the features and benfits of aasy to disperse in water, easy to mix in powered composition, prevents efflorescence aesthetical problems by reducing the transport of water-soluble salts and makes cement-based materials more hydrophobic. DOWSIL™ GP SHP 60 PLUS is mostly commonly used in cement-based compositions and used to reduce the capillary movement of liquid water in grouts, joint fillers, mortar, EIFS, stucco, and facade-render.

DOWSIL IE-6692 is an admixture for cement-based construction materials with improved water resistance (e.g.pavers).

DOWSIL BY-16-846 is a 100% active additive to reduce water absorption for autoclaved fiber-reinforced panels, autoclaved lightweight cement (ALC) panels, fiber-reinforced cement (FRC) boards and other prefabricated building components.

XIAMETER AFE-0400 Antifoam Emulsion is a water-based 10% active silicone emulsion designed for fast foam knockdown and foam control in industrial applications such as dyeing, printing, fabric sinking, latex coating, bleaching, scouring, and finishing processes. It is an effective foam inhibitor in aqueous foaming systems and provides immediate foam knockdown and long-term foam inhibition at low addition levels. It can be added to all stages of the process and is stable in textile processes at pH 4–11. XIAMETER AFE-0400 Antifoam Emulsion can also be used to control foam up to 100°C. In addition, it has good compatibility with dyestuff, surfactants, and textile auxiliaries.

DOWSIL™  Z-6689 is an active component for formulating penetrating water repellent treatments. DOWSIL™  Z-6689 offers the benefits of being dilutable in organic solvent, produce a hydrophobic treatment, UV stable, excellent performance at low active solids levels & reduction in water absorption reduces cracking and spalling due to freeze-thaw and efflorescence, thereby increasing the life of the substrate and more. DOWSIL™  Z-6689 is suitable to use on neutral and alkaline mineral substrates such as brick, sandstone, concrete and mortar that require water repellency.

Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) for the consolidation of construction materials such as stones in buildings or monuments

DOWSIL™  IE-6683 is an is a 40% active, water-dilutable silicone emulsion use as a water repellent for porous construction materials. DOWSIL™  IE-6683 displays the benefits of fast beading action, low VOC, easy to use and environmentally friendly & highly dilutable. DOWSIL™  IE-6683 is great to use as an ingredient in the formulation of water-repellent, water-based primers, paints and coatings. 

XIAMETER™ OFS-0777 Siliconate Water repellent for masonry and natural surfaces Penetrating and breathable. Low VOC.  Nonflammable Features & Benefits. Imparts water repellency to a wide variety of substances. Can be applied by vacuum impregnation or surface treatment (brushing/ rolling/ dipping) for the surface treatment of wood. Reduces water absorption into the substrate, thus reducing spalling due to freeze-thaw and efflorescence, thereby increasing the life of the substrate.

XIAMETER™ OFS-0772 Siliconate is a non-flammable, water soluble sodium methyl siliconate solution designed to impart water repellency to a wide variety of surfaces. Key Application: Bricks; to increase water repellency and reduce water absorption, Manufactured and natural stones, such as limestone, sandstone and ceramics; to reduce efflorescence and improve resistance to effects of weathering, Roofing granules and other products used in contact with asphalt; to provide stain resistance and to improve adhesion of granules to asphalt, High absorptive mineral aggregates such as Perlite™; to reduce water absorption, Decorative tile; to seal against moisture.

DOWSIL 2-9034 EMULSION is a wood water repellent giving dimensional stability and protection against decay.
