DOWSIL™ BY 16-846 Fluid

What is DOWSIL™ BY 16-846 Fluid?

A water repellent admixtures additive for prefabricated concrete components, such as ALC panels, fiber reinforced cement boards, siding boards.

Admixture-type additive for neutral and alkaline factory-manufactured boards and panels to reduce water uptake of the panels and impart water repellency to the surface
Principally for boards where high-temperature postcure (autoclaving) is used

Reduces water absorption by up to 75%
Typically used as supplied no predilution required
Excellent performance at low additive levels (typically used at < 1% of weight of panel)
Reduces freeze/thaw effects on boards
Increases dimensional stability of boards, avoiding bending, twisting and warping effects due to excessive moisture absorption
Reduces effects of mildew
Reduces surface powdering of boards
Performs well on all types of common porous cement-based building substrates
Increases life of substrates by preventing water entry
Performs well at low concentrations
