Special coloring for water basins - Silox 863 is a universal sealing and coating compound for all cement-bonded building materials. Silox 863 is absolutely watertight yet breathable, can be applied to damp substrates, and withstands high water pressure. Silox 863 is sag-resistant and highly adhesive, making it easy to use even on uneven walls with deep surface roughness or overhead. Silox 863 adheres excellently to damp, mineral substrates and metals. If the substrate is clean and sound, no special primers or base coats are necessary. Blowhole- and pore-free coatings are completely liquid-tight but remain breathable. Its excellent mechanical properties (hardness, abrasion resistance) also make it suitable for sealing floor surfaces, e.g., in basements and underground garages. Silox 863 can also be used for reprofiling damaged concrete surfaces (wet-on-wet), as a bonding agent between old and new concrete, as an adhesive for natural and artificial stone, as an anchor mortar, and for similar applications.
The substrate must be clean and free of contaminants or coatings that act as separating agents. Mineral substrates must be sufficiently firm and sound; the tensile strength should not fall below 1.5 N/mm2 over the entire area. Laitance layers on concrete and screed must be removed, and blowholes and pores must be opened. Iron and steel must be derusted to a bright metal finish (SA 2½); scale and mill scale must be removed. Silox 863 is not suitable for plastics or substrates bonded with bitumen, asphalt, or tar.
Empty component A completely into the container of component B and stir with a mixing machine until the color of the mixture is uniform and free of streaks. Then, transfer the mixture as usual and mix thoroughly once more. Do not stir in any air! The mixture stiffens significantly during the mixing process and becomes tacky and plastic. This effect is typical for the product and supports the exceptionally good sag resistance of Silox 863 on vertical surfaces and smooth substrates. Adding a little water - a maximum of 5% - makes the mixture more fluid while remaining sufficiently sag-resistant.
Silox 863 is applied manually with standard tools (spatula, trowel, pointing trowel, notched trowel) and can also be sprayed like thin-layer plasters or sealing slurries using light spray machines (screw pumps). Depending on the spray pressure and the supporting air volume, this produces more or less finely textured, uniform surfaces.
Machines and tools should be cleaned with water, ideally mixed with a little dish soap. Fresh contamination from the material should also be removed by washing with water.
The pot life of a mixture not additionally diluted with water is approx. 30 - 40 minutes at 20°C. In strong air currents or direct sunlight, a type of skin formation may occur earlier on the surface of freshly applied layers. Such surfaces should not be reworked by smoothing afterwards.
Coatings made of Silox 863 can be recoated with themselves or with breathable EP sealers (SILOX-857) after a waiting period of 24 hours. For diffusion-tight topcoats, a waiting period of 96 hours (at 20°C) is recommended.
The minimum temperature of the substrates should not fall below +9°C. The product must not be applied to glossy wet substrates. To prevent "burning" on highly absorbent substrates, moisten such surfaces before application or, even better, prime with Silox-856. Color: dark gray. Tested up to 7 bar negative water pressure!
