Mechanism of action
- ZycoSil Max penetrates up to approximately 4 mm into the substrate and converts the siliceous surface rich with hydrophilic silanol groups to hydrophobic alkyl siloxane groups as per the reaction below:
- Complete drying is critical to complete the reaction and achieve water resistance.Surface tension of the hydrophobic surface created by ZycoSil Max will ensure that water remains on the surface & does not enter into the nano pores of cementitious surface due to surface tension effects
- -OH groups make surface very hydrophilic (water loving):
High water permeability leads to water ingress in the building through seepage and deterioration of the plaster / concrete substrate. - Molecular level reaction (hydrophobic groups):
ZycoSil Max reacts upon contact with the surface and creates a permanently water
repellent layer on its surface. The surface is subsequently rendered impermeable to water
ingress. - ZycoSil Max penetrates up to 4 mm deep, whereas typical microcracks formed due to weathering
(wet / dry cycles and thermal expansion / contraction) are shallower. Thus ZycoSil Max prevents water seepage without the need to use a crack bridging polymer membrane topcoat. Further, due to hydrophobicity of the ZycoSil Max treated surface the formation of microcracks is reduced
substantially as the surface is now no more subjected to wet / dry cycles.
Application Methodology
Solution Preparation
ZycoSil Max must be diluted with potable water (TDS below 1000 ppm) to obtain a clear transparent solution.
Test the water quality before making ZycoSil Max solution. Take 225 gm water in a clean beaker; add 5 gm of ZycoSil Max to it under manual stirring, till ZycoSil Max dissolves. A clear solution indicates good water quality. If the sample solution turns turbid / whitish the water quality is not acceptable. In rare cases when turbidity is seen even in potable water do not use ZycoSil Max and contact Zydex representative.
Prepare ZycoSil Max solution by mixing ZycoSil Max with water in ratio of 1 : 45.
Horizontal Surfaces
Ensure the surface is clean and dry, free of loose particles. For effective and long term waterproofing, brush or roll ZycoSil Max solution in the recommended dilution ratio on the area to be treated till saturation, to ensure up to 4 mm penetration into the substrate.
ZycoSil Max is best applied at ambient temperatures of 10 °C to 35 °C. We recommend that the application be done in the morning or evening hours, to avoid peak heat of the sun.
ZycoBond Max solution should be applied on the ZycoSil Max treated surface wet-on-wet.
Vertical Surfaces
Prepare solution of ZycoSil Max with water in ratio of 1 : 45 then add 2 liters of ZycoBond Max to prepared solution.
For achieving best performance, brush or roll above solution from bottom to top.
Full saturation for the vertical surface is achieved when, solution starts dripping upon brushing or rolling.
Drying
ZycoSil Max treated surfaces become waterproof only after the water dries off completely. Check waterproofing by splashing water on the treated surface. If the water droplets remain for at least 10 to 15 minutes, waterproofing and surface curing is confirmed.
For semi-wet areas and during rainy seasons, the procedure for ZycoSil Max waterproofing application is as follows:
Depending on surface wetness and residual water absorption capacity, ZycoSil Max should be diluted with water in the ratio of 1 : 4 to 1 : 10. Overcoat ZycoBond Max solution wet-on-wet as usual. For quick and complete drying, use halogen lamp or hot blower on the surface. Confirm waterproofing on horizontal or vertical surface with RILEM test.
The dilution ratio and the exposure time with the halogen lamp must be decided by the applicator depending on the site conditions.
Storage and Shelf Life
- Best before 4 years from the date of manufacture, when stored in cool and dry place at original, unopened condition.
