H&C^® Commercial Grade Super V Water-Based Water Repellent
H&C^® Commercial Grade Super V Water-Based Water Repellent is a self-emulsifying, siloxane concentrate that, when mixed with water and agitated, forms a micro-emulsion suitable for application to above grade, dense or porous masonry surface. It provides excellent water repellency and moisture vapor transmission. This product passes Federal Spec. SS-W-110C Water Repelling Test.

H&C^® Commercial Grade Super V Water-Based Water Repellent can be used as part of a complete color/seal system. For best results, apply two coats of H&C^® Shield Plus^TM Ultra Concrete Stain and one "flood" coat of H&C^® Super V Water-Based Water Repellent.

Important Things to Keep in Mind

Weather Conditions

• Air and surface temperature should be between 50º and 90ºF for 24 hours following application. This will ensure proper product penetration.
• You must protect the coating from rain for 4 to 5 hours to allow the water repellent to become effective.

• In your plastic bucket, mix one part repellent to nine parts clean, room temperature water (i.e., mix a 1/2 gallon container of repellent concentrate, mix it into 4.5 gallons of water). Because you are working with a concentrate, be sure to agitate the solution thoroughly to evenly mix the water with the concentrate.
• NOTE: Do not overdilute, as this will drastically reduce the effectiveness of the solution. And mix only as much material as you will use within 24 hours, otherwise the solution becomes ineffective.

• No etching is required when using on a textured or broom finish.
• Before applying your coating, make sure you have followed the proper surface preparation methods for the surface you are coating.
• For horizontal applications, after surface prep, sweep the surface with a stiff broom to remove any remaining residue.
• Two coats are required if you are not topcoating this product.

• Cleanup is easy-simply use soap and water after your project is complete.

Application Methods

• If your surface has corners or edges, coat those with your brush first to assure complete coverage of the water repellent.
• Using a low pressure airless sprayer, conventional sprayer or power roller, apply your first coat.
• For best results, use a low pressure sprayer so the solution is applied in the form of droplets rather than a mist.
• Vertical surfaces must be "flooded," allowing the material to run down 8 to 10 inches. Always work from the bottom up.
• Horizontal surfaces can be applied by the "flood" method or with a conventional roller or brush as long as enough material is used so it can stand for a few seconds before completely penetrating.
• Let your first coat dry 24 hours before applying your second coat.

Please note: When dry, treated surfaces appear identical to untreated surfaces so it's difficult to determine whether or not you have already treated an area. Be sure, when taking a break, to stop applying either on a corner or any other obvious marker so you can re-start the application exactly where you ended it.
