Technical Data

DESCRIPTION

Antel Water-Repel Gel is a cream-like, odour free substrate absorbing gel based on alkylalkoxy-silanes. It confers long-lasting and reliable water repellence to brickwork, stone and render. Antel Water-Repel Gel provides excellent protection for brickwork against efflorescence and water soluble pollutants as well as against frost damage and the attack of micro-organisms.


Antel Water-Repel Gel is a viscous cream which exhibits the following characteristic properties:

  • Drip-free application.
  • Water and solvent-free.
  • High concentration of active ingredients.
  • Alkaline stable.
  • Does not form a film.
  • Penetrates deep in to the substrate.
  • Can be applied without any loss, in one single step and without material running.
  • Exhibits a strong beading effect.

PREPARATION

The substrate must be clean and dry.  Cracks etc must be repaired prior to application. Chase out cracks and re-point. Damp or salts present due to a failed damp proof course must be remedied. Clean dirt, pollutants, efflorescence and moss prior to application.  Mask/cover areas such as windows and doors and any areas where Antel Water-Repel Gel should not be in contact with.


APPLICATION

Antel Water-Repel Gel can be applied by roller or brush.  The silane active ingredient penetrates the substrate within 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the porosity of the substrate. The milky-white cream gel disappears without any residue. As an added precaution, Antel recommend applying to a sample area first to ensure suitability. 

Ensure the surface remains dry for at least 24 hours after application.


COVERAGE

In general, a single application of Antel Water-Repel Gel is sufficient.

Dense brickwork – approx 15m2 per 3 litres.

Extremely porous brickwork - approx 7.5m2 per 3 litres.

 

CLEANING

Clean thoroughly after use and with water.

 


STORAGE STABILITY

Antel Water-Repel Gel must not be exposed to direct sunlight or frost. A storage temperature within a range of + 5 to + 25 °C is required.

 


SHELF LIFE

At least 12 months unopened, stored as above.

Mrs Shirley C

Hi,

Just to say I've done the side of the bungalow wall and I'm so delighted. I stood on the ground and used a rad roller and wall roller on an extension pole. From going out protecting the plants and clearing it all away the process took less than 2hrs and saved £230 by applying the paint myself.  I am very pleased it does everything it says.  I am a 62 year old women that's just had a new knee and need the other, so if anyone asks, it is easy to apply, even for pensioners. Well done, I'm really pleased I came across the product.
