Water-repellent of modified silane-siloxanes, with polyurethane, dilutable in water. In absorbent mineral bases, such as floors and pavements, where it is desired to combine interior water-repellent protection and resistance to surface wear.
DESCRIPTION: FAKOLITH FK-7 NanoTane is a concentrated, consolidating, solvent free micro/nano dispersion, (low Voc) water-based hybrid, water-repellent and oil-retardant, formulated on the basis of nano-silanes, siloxanes and innovative C6 fluorinated compounds, free of PFOA and PFOS, reinforced with polyurethane and combining in-depth action with surface protection. Colourless, although it will enhance the tone of the base a little, providing a satin finish. Protects against deterioration of horizontal and vertical surfaces, resulting from water absorption, and against the adherence of dirt and grime, or friction wear, providing colourless, oil-retardant and water-repellent conservation and protection on virtually all absorbent mineral material bases, both interior and exterior. Forms a fine film that penetrates into the pores of the surface and provides long term protection against pollution dissolved in water, frost deterioration and the spread of micro-organisms, making it difficult for in-depth adherence of dirt and grime, facilitating both cleaning and maintenance work. Does not result in significant physical changes to the treated surface, particularly in terms of breathability (Value SD = 0.10). Its protective properties will not come fully into effect until at least 7 days have passed following correct application.
MAIN USE: FK-7 NanoTane provides protection against deterioration and the accumulation of dirt and grime on mineral surfaces, particularly on floors, such as micro-cements, cements, concretes, etc.
HOW TO APPLY: Carefully protect all surfaces that are not to be treated from splashing. Following suitable preparation of the base, and on dry surfaces, using a short-pile roller apply a total of 3 coats. Wait until the previous coat is dry to the touch before applying the next. Apply the first coat diluted 1:3 with water (1 part product to 3 parts water). When dry apply a second coat diluted 1:2 with water. When dry apply a last coat, diluted 1:1 with water. Clean utensils immediately after use with water. Actual drying times will be determined by ambient temperature. Do not subject the surface to high levels of stress until 48-72 hours have elapsed following application. The water-repellent properties will not come fully into effect until at least 5-7 days have passed following correct application. For more information consult the specifications sheet and/or application guidelines, along with the safety sheet.
AVERAGE YIELD: FK-7 NanoTane, when undiluted, provides a yield of approx. 15-35 litre/m², although this may vary considerably depending on type of surface, function and method of application. Average consumption in solution is approx. 250 ml/m², although this may also vary between 100 and 400 ml/m².
