AQUAREST WR 1300 is a reactive silicone fluid emulsion designed to impart long lasting water repellency and protection to various substrates like textiles, wood, paper, boards and construction materials.

Features

• Provides excellent durable water repellence
• Reactive silicone emulsion
• Dilution stable formulation
• Flexible to use with catalyst
• Forms strong hydrophobic film

How To Use

WR 1300 is usually applied from dilute solution. Solutions are prepared by diluting distilled pure water and stirring the mixture gently until it uniforms. The extent of dilution will depends on the surface to be treated and surface properties desired.Care should be taken that the dilution remains acidic as alkaline PH will lead to evolution of hydrogen.

Curing

Coatings of WR 1300 Emulsion are usually heat cured to develop water repellency. Curing temperatures range from 120°C to 175°C. With catalyst added at a typical ratio of 20:1 (emulsion to catalyst). Curing times are generally 4 to 5 minutes at 150°C or 30 to 40 Seconds at 180°C.

Additional Advantages

• Reduces moisture absorption
• Improves product life
• Prevents fungal & microbial attack
• Improves resistance to weathering
