Masonry Damp-Proofing

Solvent-free, silane/siloxane-based SILRES^® BS products from WACKER are injected through boreholes straight into the masonry, where they react chemically to form a long-lasting horizontal waterproof barrier. This stops rising damp and any entrained harmful substances in their tracks, and so allows the masonry to dry out.

Schematic illustration of masonry with boreholes. A horizontal barrier can be seen at the level of the boreholes. Moisture penetrates the masonry below the horizontal barrier. The masonry above the barrier is dry.

Masonry Injection for Horizontal Barriers

Damp-Proofing with Silicone Microemulsion Concentrates

SILRES^® BS silicone microemulsion concentrates are solvent-free, silane/siloxane-based damp-proofing agents. When diluted in water and injected into the masonry, they create a horizontal barrier that is even effective against high moisture levels.

Benefits:

Highly effective due to excellent penetration
Suitable for saturated masonry
Can be applied under pressure by injection (recommended) or by multistep injection without pressure
Tailored solution for every building site
WTA- and CSTC-certified

Damp-Proofing with Silicone Creams

SILRES^® BS Cremes are aqueous, solvent-free, silane/siloxane-based water-repellent agents. The ready-to-use product is ideal for chemical damp-proofing – by either pressure or gravity.

Benefits:

Ready to use
No need for elaborate preparation of masonry
WTA-certified
Excellent distribution in the mortar joint
Can be applied by pressure or gravity
Effective even at high saturation levels (up to 95%)
