Are you facing challenges with moisture damage and reduced lifespan in your self-leveling compound applications? Then Silicone Hydrophobic Powder (SHP) might be exactly what you need to significantly improve your formulations. As ZOVAE, we understand the critical role of high-performance materials in construction, and our SHP is designed to deliver exactly that.
Silicone Hydrophobic Powder is a specially designed additive that transforms ordinary self-leveling compounds into high-performance, water-resistant materials. Think of it as a raincoat for your concrete – it creates a barrier that repels water and protects against the damaging effects of moisture. Essentially, it’s a fine, free-flowing powder composed of modified silane/siloxane polymers that, when mixed into cement-based mixtures, imparts a remarkable hydrophobic effect. This effect is achieved through the chemical bonding of the silicone polymers with the cement matrix, creating a durable and long-lasting water-repellent surface.
Imagine tiny umbrellas dispersed throughout your self-leveling compound. That's essentially how SHP works!
The SHP is thoroughly mixed into the dry self-leveling compound mixture. Its fine particle size ensures even distribution.
When water is added to the mixture, the SHP doesn't dissolve. Instead, it remains as discrete particles.
As the cement hydrates and hardens, the modified silane/siloxane polymers in the SHP react with the cement components, forming a chemically bonded hydrophobic layer. This layer lines the pores and capillaries within the concrete matrix.
This hydrophobic layer prevents water from penetrating the concrete, effectively reducing water absorption and minimizing the risk of moisture-related damage such as cracking, efflorescence, and freeze-thaw damage.
By reducing water penetration, SHP also helps to prevent the leaching of soluble salts from the concrete, which can weaken the structure over time. This contributes to the overall durability and lifespan of the self-leveling compound.
The strong chemical bonds between the SHP and the cement matrix ensure that the hydrophobic effect remains stable and effective over time, providing long-lasting protection against water damage.
In essence, SHP acts as a microscopic army of water-repellent agents, safeguarding your self-leveling compound from the harmful effects of moisture.
Silicone Hydrophobic Powder can be effectively used in various types and grades of self-leveling compounds, significantly enhancing their performance.
