MasterShield PEL 355

Silane/Siloxane Hydrophobic Impregnant for Creating Water-Repellent Mineral Surfaces

How Does MasterShield PEL 355 Work?

MasterShield PEL 355 is a one-component, transparent, penetrating silane/siloxane impregnant. The product reacts chemically with a mineral substrate to form a surface that is repellent to water yet still permeable to water vapour.

MasterShield PEL 355 protects and preserves the substrate without altering the natural surface texture or colour.

What Are the Unique Features of MasterShield PEL 355?

The MasterShield PEL 355 molecules are very small and highly mobile. The relatively slow solvent evaporation rate at 25°C allows it to enter even the smallest pores. Its water vapour permeability allows the surface to "breathe" naturally. The application of MasterShield PEL 355 greatly extends the life and colour retention of brickwork. MasterShield PEL 355 can be used as an additional priming coat before acrylic protection barriers such as MasterShield AC 160 against CO₂ and SO₂ attacks.
