How does stone protective silane waterproofing build a waterproof barrier for stone without affecting the breathability of stone?
Publish Time: 2024-12-04
In every corner of the city, stone is widely used in municipal facilities, architectural decoration and artwork creation for its durability and elegant beauty. However, although the microporous structure of stone gives it natural breathability, it also makes the stone susceptible to water erosion, leading to weathering, discoloration and damage. In order to solve this problem, stone protective silane waterproofing agent came into being. It can not only build a strong waterproof barrier for stone, but also maintain the breathability of stone and extend the service life of stone.
Stone protective silane waterproofing agent is a colorless, non-film-forming liquid material with excellent penetration ability. Its main components are stone protective silane monomers or small molecular structure siloxane oligomers. These active substances can react chemically on the surface of stone and the inner wall of micropores to form a thin mesh water-repellent layer. This water-repellent layer has extremely low surface tension, which prevents water molecules from spreading on it, thereby achieving a waterproof effect.
The secret to keeping stone breathable
Unlike traditional waterproof materials, stone protective silane waterproofing agent does not block or seal the micropores of stone. Instead, it only forms an extremely thin film on the pore wall of the stone, and the entire pore remains unobstructed. In this way, the moisture inside the stone can evaporate through the micropores, avoiding stone damage caused by excessive humidity. At the same time, because the water-repellent layer formed by stone protective silane waterproofing agent is non-polar, it will not interact with polar water molecules, thereby preventing moisture from penetrating into the stone through capillary action.
Excellent performance of stone protective silane waterproofing agent
Stone protective silane waterproofing agent not only has excellent waterproofing performance, but also has the following characteristics:
Strong weather resistance: stone protective silane waterproofing agent can be exposed to outdoor environment for a long time without degradation, maintaining a long-lasting waterproof effect.
Strong permeability: stone protective silane waterproofing agent can penetrate deep into the stone to form a uniform waterproof layer, effectively preventing moisture from penetrating from all directions.
Acid and alkali corrosion resistance: Stone protective silane waterproofing agent remains stable under alkaline conditions and will not fail due to the outward penetration of alkali in the cement base.
No change in stone surface effect: The surface color, glossiness and texture of the stone treated with stone protective silane waterproofing agent remain unchanged, maintaining the natural beauty of the stone.
Environmental protection and safety: Stone protective silane waterproofing agent is non-toxic and harmless, environmentally friendly, and will not cause harm to construction workers and the surrounding environment during construction.
Application scope of stone protective silane waterproofing agent
Stone protective silane waterproofing agent is widely used in the waterproofing treatment of various stones, including natural stones such as marble, granite, sandstone, as well as artificial stones, ceramic tiles, etc. In municipal facilities such as bridges, sidewalks, sculptures, etc., the application of stone protective silane waterproofing agent effectively prevents the erosion of stone by rainwater, groundwater and domestic water. In architectural decoration, stone protective silane waterproofing agent can protect stones such as exterior walls, floors and countertops from moisture and extend their service life.
Stone protective silane waterproofing agent, with its unique waterproof mechanism and excellent performance, builds a strong waterproof barrier for stone while maintaining the air permeability of stone. In municipal facilities and architectural decoration, the application of stone protective silane waterproofing agent not only improves the durability of stone, but also maintains the natural beauty of stone, providing strong support for urban construction and beautification. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the improvement of people's environmental awareness, stone protective silane waterproofing agent will play a more important role in the field of stone protection in the future.
