Technical Data Sheet

DOWSIL™ GP SHP 60 Plus Silicone Hydrophobic


Powder

Free-flowing powder designed as a hydrophobic additive for demanding cementitious dry-


mix formulations

Features & • Free-flowing white powder


Benefits • Easy to disperse in water
• Easy to mix in powered composition
• Can be added at levels ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 weight %
• Prevents liquid water transport through cured cementitious material through surface or
capillary action
• Can substantially decrease water absorption by cementitious material when in direct
contact for up to 24 hours
• Prevents efflorescence aesthetical problems by reducing the transport of water-soluble
salts
• Makes cement-based materials more hydrophobic
• Limited impact on mechanical properties of set mortars
• Limited impact on dry mix ease of use

Composition • Silane/Resin-based

Applications • Added as ingredients of cement-based compositions to improve hydrophobic


performance of final set mortar.
• Used to reduce the capillary movement of liquid water in grouts, joint fillers, mortar,
EIFS, stucco, and facade-render.

Description DOWSIL™ GP SHP 60 Plus Silicone Hydrophobic Powder was developed to offer the
performance of a liquid silicon-based hydrophobic material in dry delivery systems. DOWSIL
GP SHP 60 Plus Silicone Hydrophobic Powder is a formulation containing a finely dispersed
silicon-based active. The powdered composition provides good storage stability and release
of the active ingredient upon addition of water. This product can find uses in many
application areas where the protection of the substrate from liquid water ingress is a critical
issue.

DOWSIL GP SHP 60 Plus Silicone Hydrophobic Powder provides excellent dispersibility


into water.

As with other silane-based products, bulk hydrophobic property of mortar modified with
DOWSIL GP SHP 60 Plus Silicone Hydrophobic Powder is expected to be resistant to UV
radiation.

How To Use DOWSIL GP SHP 60 Plus Silicone Hydrophobic Powder is a dry powder. This product is
intended to be added to the dry ingredients of the cement based composition.

Determination of optimum addition levels should be evaluated in the laboratory.

Most applications will typically require between 0.1 and 0.5 weight % DOWSIL GP SHP 60
Plus Silicone Hydrophobic Powder in the dry mix.

The water level of the final formulation should be optimized to the desired consistency.

Cement-based mixtures formulated using DOWSIL GP SHP 60 Plus Silicone Hydrophobic


Powder can be mixed and applied using standard industry equipment. Heating should be
avoided during or after mixing DOWSIL GP SHP 60 Plus Silicone Hydrophobic Powder in
dry mix formulations.
