Concrete Materials

For concrete building materials, potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent can significantly improve its waterproof performance. When potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent is added to the concrete during the pre - casting or post - casting surface treatment, it can penetrate into the concrete and react with the components in the concrete. This can not only fill the pores inside the concrete but also form a waterproof film on the concrete surface. For example, in the waterproof treatment of the concrete wall of a basement, potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent can effectively prevent the penetration of groundwater and enhance the waterproof ability of the basement.

At the same time, it can also improve the chemical resistance of the concrete. In some environments polluted by chemical substances, such as the concrete floor of a factory workshop, potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent can prevent chemical substances from penetrating into the concrete through water and corroding the concrete, thus prolonging the service life of the concrete.

Brick and Block Materials

The application of potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent in brick and block materials is similar to its application in exterior wall bricks. It can penetrate into the pores of bricks and blocks and improve their waterproof performance. For example, for the bricks used in landscape walls or courtyard walls in some landscape architectures, after being treated with potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent, they can better resist the erosion of rain - water and groundwater and maintain the stability and aesthetics of the wall.

In addition, for some hollow blocks, potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent can also prevent water from accumulating in the hollow part, thereby reducing the damage of blocks caused by freeze - thaw cycles. In cold regions, this is particularly important because when water freezes inside the blocks, the volume expansion will damage the blocks, and the waterproofing agent can reduce this risk.
