Use
FOBISIL extra W is a single-component water micro-emulsion on the basis of silane and siloxane without organic diluents. Especially intended for hydrophobization and treatment of concrete and reinforced concrete, also for treatment of natural or synthetic stone, sandstone, facings in exterior as well as in interior. Agent has significant penetration ability, hydro-phobic effect is permanent.

Instruction for preparation and application
Base preparation Surface must be clean, dry and dust free (dust must be removed by an industrial vacuum cleaner).
Application of solution. The solution is applied by spraying or by a roller or, possibly, a brush usually in two layers, in the amount which the treated surface is able to absorb. The goal is not to create a coat on top of the surface, rather penetration of the agent into the maximum depth. Second layer should be applied onto moist first layer (moist to moist), the first layer should not dry out.
Treated surface must be protected from rain and direct sunlight for at least 6 hours. In case of rain the treated surface should be covered.
Neither temperature of the base nor temperature of ambient air shall be below + 5 °C and above + 30 °C. At the temperatures higher than +25ºC the diluent evaporates quicker and therefore the ability of penetration to the deeper parts of the surface is lower. Tools and equipment can be cleaned with water.
Specific consumption The spreading capacity (specific consumption) of the FOBISIL extra W amounts depending on the absorbability of the surface to 0.04 ÷ 0.25 l/m2.
