SILICONE-BASED WATER REPELLENTS

o. FO R E W 0 R 0

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted hy the Bureau of IndianStandards on 21 .April 1987, after the draft finalized by theWaterproofing and Damp-proofing Sectional Committee had heenapproved hy the Civil Engineering Division Council.

0.2 Silicone-based water repellents, when applied to masonry surfaces,generally extend their life and protect them from spalling, cracking,efflorescence and other types of damages caused by absorption ofwater. It may, however, be mentioned that their use for water-

/proofing of roofs, tanks, etc, is not recommended. Silicones function hyimparting durable water repellent film on the surface of capillary poresof the masonry to a depth of about I' 5 to 3·0 rom depending upon theporosity of the masonry surface. Silicone films do not seal the pores ofcracks on the masonry and the permeability of masonry to vapour andgases is not seriously impaired for performance tests. This standard isintended to specify the requirements and give guidance to the users forthe selection of the appropriate type of wnt er repellent for applicationto various types of masonry.

0.3 In the formulation of this standard, due weight age has been givento international coordin.uion among the standards and praci iccsprevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the pract icein the field in this country.

0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement ofthis standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall he rounded on' inaccordance with IS: 2-1960·. The number of significant placesretained in the rounded off value should he the same as that of' t hespecified value in this standard.

solution used, should be laid on the bottom of the tray in order toavoid inadequate treatment due to contact between the specimen andthe bottom of the tray.

The tray is then placed on a balance weighing accurately 0·1 gand its mass with the solution noted. Each test specimen is then placedsingly, with the selected test face downwards, in the tray for 15 seconds,removed, and held with the treated face downwards for a further10 seconds to allow drairiing hack into the tray. It is then placedtreated face uppermost and stored indoors at a temperatureof 25 ± 5°C. Immediately after the removal of the specimen anddraining, the mass of the tray and the solution is recorded and theamount of solution absorbed by the specimen is determined bydifference to the nearest 0-1 g.

The solution in the tray is made up to approximately the originaldepth with further water repellent before the next specimen is treated.

B-4.3 If solution pick-up of any brick is less than 4 g or of any block isless than 1 g, the specimen shall be discarded and not used in thesubsequent tests. If all bricks and blocks meet these minimum pick-uprequirements, then they may be used, as appropriate, in the tests.

Place the 6 bricks or slabs in a trayon wire gauze or other supporting medium with the test face upwardsand fill the tray to a depth of 10 mm with clean water topping up asnecessary to maintain the level. Remove the bricks or slabs after72 hours and immediately seal an faces other than the test face asfollows:

"Wipe away adhering water and seal plates of the rigid materialonto all faces other than the test face by applying silicone sealantto the edges of each face and pressing the material into contact.Sealant should also be built up around all edges. Weighimmediately and rapidly to within 1 g and then allow the bricksand slabs to stand freely exposed with the test faces upwards in awell-ventilated room for 7 days at 27 ± 2·C Re-weigh."

E-4. DETERMINATION OF RESULTS

F-l. DURABILITY TEST (CLASS A REPELLENTS)

P-l.1 Taking the 6 bricks used for carrying out the test in Appendix E,cut away the rigid material from one of the nominal 190 mm X 90 mmfaces of each brick. Ensure that there is a drip formed from thesilicone sealant around this face. Place the 6 bricks with this facedownwards on a shelf of gauge or other perforated material, atleast 300 mm above the ground; with the 'test face' of each brickfacing south in an external and unsheltered position.
