Prosoco Silane 40

Silane 40 protects horizontal and vertical concrete and masonry surfaces against water and waterborne contaminants. It chemically reacts with the substrate to produce a long-lasting water repellent effect. The product’s low viscosity and small molecular size allow maximum penetration into the concrete or masonry surfaces. Treated surfaces maintain their vapor permeability, slip resistance and other surface characteristics.

Product Description

Silane 40 is a clear, penetrating silane water repellent designed for horizontal and vertical concrete and masonry surfaces. This 40% active alcohol-based solution offers protection from water intrusion and deicing salts by forming a chemical bond within the substrate. It maintains surface breathability and leaves little to no surface residue.

Key Benefits

  • Deep Penetration: Low viscosity and small molecular size allow maximum absorption into substrates.
  • Durability: Offers long-lasting protection against waterborne contaminants and chloride-induced corrosion.
  • Breathable: Treated surfaces allow vapor transmission without trapping moisture.
  • Low Surface Impact: Does not form a film or alter surface appearance.
  • Safe for Vehicle Areas: Use on surfaces exposed to traffic or environmental wear.

Best For

  • Horizontal and vertical concrete
  • Reinforced concrete exposed to chloride
  • Stone, brick, and masonry substrates
  • Driveways and parking structures
  • Bridge decks and infrastructure
