Conservare - H100 Consolidation Treatment

H100 Consolidation Treatment

Stone and masonry strengthener & water repellent

Description and Use

For badly deteriorated stone that requires consolidation and protection from water, Conservare H100 is a combination consolidation/water-repellent treatment. This ethyl silicate treatment, modified with a silane water repellent, replaces the natural binding materials while protecting the treated surface from water-related deterioration.

Conservare H100 may be used on most types of sandstone, limestone, cast stone, stucco, brick and terra cotta. All patching and pointing materials should be in place before application of Conservare H100

Advantages

* One component - easy-to-use.
* Low viscosity allows deep penetration. Will not form hardened surface crust.
* The new binder is mineral - similar to the original stone - no synthetic polymers.
* Rapid tack free drying - no dirt attraction.
* Forms no byproducts harmful to the masonry.
* Good vapor permeability - the treated surface "Breaths."
* New binder is acid resistant - resists acid rain.

Limitations

* Effective consolidation requires thorough laboratory and field pretesting. Contact PROSOCO for information on the recommended test programs.
* Limited shelf life - remains storage-stable for 12 months in sealed containers. Treated areas may bond to silicone and polyurethane molds (frequently used for casting replacement stone). Use a release agent to prevent mold from adhering to the treated surface.
* Not suitable for some types of marble.
