Description
RC 224 is a colorless water-repellent high quality product for the treatment of mineral building materials. RC 224 is
UV and alkali resistant, and this without changing the aspect of the surface and the preservation of the vapor
permeability. After the application of the RC 224, the active product undergoes a chemical conversion: it is a polysiloxane and provides a permanent water-repellent and good pearling effect. RC 224 is a ready to use dilution of a
high quality and low molecular siloxane (10% active agents) dissolved in a slow evaporating hydrocarbon fraction
with a high penetration capability.
Traits
For making bricks, concrete blocks, aerated concrete and all porous rocks (white limestone) who are constantly
undergoing the adverse influence of rain, water repellent.
•
Reduction of water absorption and indoor humidity.
•
Protect against contamination of cleaned facades.
•
Prevention of salt efflorescence and frost damage.
•
Reduce moss.
•
Perfect vapor permeable.
•
Protect against acid rain.
Surface
In the application of RC 224, the surface should be as mentioned in § 5.4 of TV 224 of the CSTC clean, sound and
dry We remind you that before treating old soiled surfaces cleaning is recommended. (See cleaning techniques in
TV 197 of the CSTC and our chapter regarding cleaning agents). After cleaning, please rinse until it is completely
dust free the subsurface. Joints, cracks or cavities in the stone should be repaired first .One should, however wait 2
days before starting with the impregnation of fresh jointing. Pulverized material should first be treated a stone
strengthener from our range (RC stone strengthener) in order to rebuild the mineral structure. After the treatment
with our stone strengthener one should wait 24 hours before one applies RC 224.
Application
The treatment is preferably carried by the irrigation of the substrate under low pressure, so that no misting or
atomizing of the product takes place. The treatment takes place from bottom to top with a horizontal reciprocating
motion, so that a flush of approximately 20 cm is obtained. Two treatments should be carried out. Wet-on-wet. The
use of a Backpack Sprayer is recommended, or an electric pump as long as it ensures that the product flows at a
constant pressure across the surface.
Consumption
Is highly dependent on the porosity of the substrate from 0.2 to 1.5 l / m² for a proper evaluation absorption tests
will have to be carried out. With the Karsten tube absorption test(Technical data sheet n ° 224 C.S.T.C.).
Remark
ALL GLASS ELEMENTS SHOULD BE PROTECTED. RC 224 causes irreversible stains on blue stone and nonporous surfaces. RC 224 is not crack bridging.
