Product based on ethyl esters of orthosilicic acid intended for strengthening (consolidation) of disintegrated mineral construction substrates outside and inside buildings. It is especially recommended for surface reinforcement of
narrow porous construction materials deteriorated by ageing processes caused by atmospheric conditions. The strengthening function of the product involves formation of silica in the construction material structure which is a strengthening binder for it. The process of silica formation is connected with hydrolytic polycondensation of ethyl esters of orthosilicic acid with water contained in the construction material capillaries and/or with water vapour present in the air. The described process takes place under the influence of a neutral catalyst which is included in the product. The product characterizes with very high ability to penetrate narrow porous capillaries of construction materials (such as natural stones,
terracotta, brick and renders).

Note: Before use to strengthen stones which contain swelling loamy minerals, it is necessary to perform initial tests.

Product advantages

• Strengthens the substrate mineral structure
• Optimum depth of penetration into weak substrate with a smaller amount of silicate binder precipitated
• Even level of resistance of the whole strengthening layer
• Does not reduce the substrate vapour permeability
• High resistance of binder formed to ageing processes caused by atmospheric conditions and UV radiation
• Possibility of application of subsequent materials of mineral nature
• Mild course of reaction without the disadvantageous tensions
• Neutral catalyst
• Easy and safe use (one-component product without toxicological hazards)
