Application and Usage Information
  • Product Application:
    • Water repellent treatment of plaster used to produce tiles and boards.
    • Water repellent treatment of dry-sprayed substances (e.g.: extinguisher powders, various fillers).
  • Usage Information: 
    • Water repellent treatment of plaster Bluesil™ WR 68 is added to the water to be mixed with the plaster preparation. Good water repellent properties are obtained by adding 0.2 to 0.5 % Bluesil™ WR 68 relative to the plaster powder. The quantity of water repellent varies according to the grade of plaster and the plaster-water mixing ratio. Adding Bluesil™ WR 68 to the plaster enables water absorption to be limited to values less than those set in current European standards.
    • Treating fillers In this case Bluesil™ WR 68 is used on its own, or for example with 3 % of glycol tetraoctylene titanate. Polymerisation takes place at room temperature. It may be accelerated by heating for a few minutes at . Comments: Do not bring near potash or caustic soda or any other alkaline compound. There is a risk of a violent release of highly inflammable products. Similarly, do not use in the presence of alcohols (or solvents containing a significant proportion of them) or other components containing reactive hydrogen atoms (SH, OH…) since hydrogen release may again occur.
