What is Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888?
Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888 is a penetrating, water-based silane-siloxane sealer used for the protection and waterproofing of exterior masonry surfaces such as concrete, brickwork, and natural stone.
How does Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888 protect masonry surfaces?
Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888 penetrates deep into the capillaries of the masonry substrate and forms a hydrophobic barrier that repels water, oil, and other liquids, preventing their ingress and the related problems of staining, efflorescence, and deterioration.
What are the key features of Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888?
Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888 is a non-film forming, breathable sealer that maintains the natural appearance of the substrate. It is resistant to UV, alkali, and freeze-thaw cycles, and provides excellent protection against water, chloride ions, and environmental pollutants.
How is Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888 applied?
Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888 can be applied by brush, roller, or low-pressure spray on clean, dry masonry surfaces. It is supplied ready to use but can be diluted with clean water if required. Two coats are recommended for optimal performance.
Does Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888 change the appearance of the surface?
No, Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888 does not form a visible film or significantly change the color or appearance of the masonry surface. It may slightly darken some light-colored, porous substrates, but the effect is usually minimal and temporary.
What is the coverage rate of Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888?
The coverage rate of Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888 varies depending on the porosity and texture of the substrate. As a guide, it covers approximately 80-100 sq.ft./L/coat on dense, smooth surfaces and 40-60 sq.ft./L/coat on porous, textured surfaces.
How long does Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888 take to dry?
Trubuild Water Thinnable Sealer WTS-888 dries to touch within 2-3 hours and achieves its water-repellent properties in 24 hours under normal conditions. Allow at least 2-3 hours between coats and protect from rain or water exposure for at least 6 hours after application.
