PRODUCT USE
WaterTite is a proprietary siloxane/silane blend that is a VOC compliant, emulsion that was developed to treat a wide variety of mineral substrates including architectural concrete, concrete block, splitface block, pavers, stucco, porous and dense brick, clay tile, and exposed aggregate concrete. WaterTite is not recommended for below grade applications where hydrostatic pressure can be significant.

BENEFITS
Provides excellent water repellency to reduce cracking, spalling, freeze/thaw damage, chemical degradation, biological growth, efflorescence, and dirt pickup, thereby lengthening substrate life and reducing maintenance costs.
Provides excellent beading for improved aesthetics
Low VOC emissions on curing; EPA compliant in 50 states
Formulated to minimize darkening effects thus not changing
Substrate appearances
Good stability on highly alkaline surfaces for long term durability
Physically and chemically bonds to substrates increasing coating life and making cleaning easier, thereby reducing maintenance costs
Water repellent is UV stable and resistant to biological degradation for longer service life leading to less cost for repetitive applications
WaterTite is 100% vapor permeable to resist cracking, peeling and blistering, and allowing carbonation to continue after water repellent application. This lengthens substrate life and allows for greater substrate structural strength over time
Water repellent can improve adhesion of paints to mineral substances thus priming them for painting

APPLICATION
Two coats of WaterTite should be applied using a ‘wet-on-wet’ procedure to ensure complete coverage. Water Repellent can be applied by brushing, spraying or dipping. Maximum water repellency is realized in 72 hours depending on curing conditions. Beading generally improves over time. Drying time is 2 to 6 hours depending on weather conditions. A test patch should be performed prior to general application with the customer’s approval to ensure that desired repellency and appearance is achieved. Protect surrounding surfaces from over-spray as staining can occur. Rinse affected areas thoroughly with water.

WARRANTY
Our recommendations for use are based upon test results we deem reliable. Due to varying field conditions and substrates, the user bares sole responsibility to determine suitability of the product for the particular use and method of application. WeatherTite warrants that WaterTite water-based water repellent will exhibit a water repellent effect for a period of 12 years from the date of application if applied according to label instructions. This warranty does not cover pre-existent flaking, spalling, abrading, faulty construction or other defects that may erode treated surfaces. If WaterTite fails to perform as specified, WeatherTite will provide, as the sole remedy, enough product to correct the condition. In states where applicable, this warranty does not cover consequential damages for any breach of the warranty and fitness for use. Warrant does not cover labor cost for reapplication. This warranty gives you specific rights which may vary from state to state.
