Waterproof Principle

Potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent can penetrate into the tiny pores of exterior wall materials. When it comes into contact with carbon dioxide in the air, it will react to form methyl silicic acid with waterproof properties. These methyl silicic acids will form a continuous waterproof layer within the pores and on the material surface. For example, for a brick exterior wall, potassium methyl silicate can penetrate deep along the brick joints and the tiny pores of the bricks and react inside, like building a microscopic "water - proof barrier" inside the wall to prevent the intrusion of rainwater and other moisture.

Enhanced Durability

Exterior walls are exposed to the natural environment for a long time and will be affected by factors such as rain - water erosion, ultraviolet radiation, and temperature changes. The waterproof layer formed by potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent can effectively reduce the damage of these factors to the wall. It can prevent problems such as wall mildew and spalling caused by rain - water penetration, and because it has a certain ultraviolet - resistance ability, it can also slow down the aging rate of exterior wall materials. For example, after using potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent on the exterior walls of some high - rise buildings, after years of exposure to the elements, the waterproof performance of the exterior walls remains good, and the appearance and structural integrity of the walls are also well - maintained.

Improved Appearance and Breath ability

Potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent will not change the appearance color and texture of exterior wall materials and can maintain the original style of the building exterior wall. At the same time, it also has a certain breath ability and will not prevent the water vapor inside the wall from being discharged because it completely seals the wall pores. It's like putting a "breathable raincoat" on the exterior wall, allowing the wall to "breathe" normally while being waterproof. For example, in the restoration project of the exterior walls of some historical buildings, using potassium methyl silicate waterproofing agent can achieve the purpose of waterproofing without destroying the original appearance and historical features of the building.
