Description
Nitocote SN511 is a penetrating treatment designed to protect concrete from both water and chloride ingress whilst still permitting water vapour transmission. It has a 95% active content of monomeric alkyl (isobutyl) trialkoxy silane which penetrates deeply into porous substrates and then reacts to produce a bonded hydrophobic lining to the pores.
This treatment markedly reduces absorption of water and water-borne salts, but still permits passage of water vapour. The treatment is not affected by UV light and does not produce any discolouration of the substrate.
Key Features
- Markedly reduces water and chloride ingress
- Deep penetration into substrates
