Hydrophobic Fumed Silica - Waterproofing Additive for Construction Industry
Hydrophobic fumed silica is a commonly used additive in many industries, including liquid waterproofing products. It is a form of amorphous silica, surface treated to make it water resistant.
1. Applications in waterproofing products
Hydrophobic fumed silica is used to:
✅ Increase durability and waterproofing efficiency:
- Create a water-resistant film on the surface.
- Helps to evenly disperse the components in the adhesive or emulsion system.
✅ Prevent sagging, stabilize the structure:
- Is an effective thickener in solvent and oil-based systems.
- Prevent the deposition of solid particles in the waterproofing solution.
✅ Improve adhesion and mechanical strength:
- Enhance the bonding between the components in the paint or waterproofing membrane.
2. Applications
- Solvent-based waterproofing (PU, bitumen): helps increase viscosity and water resistance.
- Silane/siloxane-based waterproofing: used to adjust stability and dispersibility.
- Epoxy or acrylic-based waterproofing coating: improves coverage and anti-settling.
