Potassium Methyl Silicate (CAS 31795-24-1): The Superior Choice for New-Generation Intelligent Crystalline Waterproofing
2025-10-08
Potassium Methyl Silicate (CAS 31795-24-1) is a milestone product in the field of construction waterproofing. It is not merely a coating but a reactive, intelligent waterproofing material. Its active components automatically penetrate deep into porous substrates and permanently enhance their waterproofness and durability through chemical reactions with the structure itself.
I. Core Mechanism: A "Symbiotic" Waterproof Layer with the Structure
1.Deep Penetration: The aqueous solution of the product has very low surface tension, allowing it to penetrate deeply (typically 3-10 mm) into concrete and mortar via capillary action.
2.Chemical Crystallization: Its active silanol groups (-SiOH) react with free calcium, silicate ions in the substrate, and atmospheric carbon dioxide, forming insoluble, dendritic crystals.
3.Permanent Sealing: These crystals effectively block and seal capillary pores and micro-cracks, building a permanent, rigid waterproof barrier within the substrate. The waterproofing effect persists even if the surface is damaged.
II. Exceptional Characteristics & Advantages
1.Permanent Waterproofing: The chemical reaction is irreversible, offering a service life concurrent with the structure itself.
2.Breathability: Effectively blocks liquid water while allowing water vapor to escape, preventing moisture buildup that causes blistering or spalling.
3.Substrate Enhancement: The formed crystals increase the density of concrete, improving its mechanical strength and weather resistance.
4.Eco-Friendly & Safe: Water-based, non-toxic, odorless, non-flammable, safe for the environment and applicators, complying with green building standards.
5.Colorless & Transparent: Does not alter the original appearance or color of the substrate after application, ideal for historic restoration or modern architecture with aesthetic requirements.
III. Primary Application Fields
1.Underground Structures: Waterproofing basements, subways, tunnels, utility tunnels.
2.Hydraulic Structures: Waterproofing and anti-corrosion protection for reservoirs, dams, sewage treatment plants, bridge piers.
3.Industrial & Civil Buildings: Waterproofing exterior walls, roofs, bathrooms, balconies.
4.Historic Preservation: Non-destructive waterproofing and weathering protection for masonry, monuments, and cultural heritage buildings.
5.Special Applications: Can be used as an additive in water-based paints and fillers to impart excellent water-repellent properties.
