Protectosil® CHEM TRETE BSM 350

Typical Applications

For use on concrete, to protect the reinforcing steel from corrosion due to the effects of water, deicing salts and other waterborne chemicals. For use on brick masonry, to protect against the ingress of wind-driven rain. For use on concrete pavement for highways, parking decks and airport runways, to reduce scaling due to deicer chemicals. Reduces the effects of mildew, efflorescence and stains on
vertical concrete and masonry buildings. Imparts water repellency to a substrate for an extended time.

Benefits at a glance

Protectosil® CHEM-TRETE® BSM 350 is composed of pure alkyltrialkoxysilanes. The silanes are designed to penetrate deep into the substrate and impart a high level of water and chloride ion screening. This provides the substrate with long-lasting protection. Because of the purity of Protectosil® CHEM-TRETE® BSM 350, it will not leave a residue on nonporous substrates such as glass windows, metal frames or painted surfaces. By incorporating Protectosil® CHEM-TRETE® BSM 350 into your integrated design, you can earn vital Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) credits for both new and existing construction projects. The main benefits of the product are:
• Low VOC formula
• Excellent resistance to water intrusion
• High resistance to wind-driven rain
• Breathable system
• Deep penetration into the substrate
• Reduces efflorescence
• No change in surface appearance
• No masking of windows necessary
• No blushing, peeling or yellowing
• High resistance to alkali attack
• Substrates already treated with Protectosil® CHEM-TRETE® BSM 350 can be painted over (tech bulletin available)
