ENGINEERED BUILDING SOLUTIONS
SILCOAT MS
ENGINEERED BUILDING SOLUTIONS SILCOAT MS is a microcoat, surface sealer used for rendering metal surfaces hydrophobic. This sealer is based on patented technology where quartz has been reengineered on a molecular level to impart hydrophobic and oleophobic properties to metal surfaces. The product can be obtained in a x percent solids concentration for treating metallic vertical surfaces.
USES & LIMITATIONS
ENGINEERED BUILDING SOLUTIONS is used for coating metallic surfaces and structures to slow down and block absorption of water, acid rain, atmospheric pollutants and organic compounds onto metallic substrates. SILCOAT MS coverage and penetration into metallic substrates will vary based on the density of the metal. SILCOAT MS can be applied to previously treated metallic substrates where corrosion inhibitors or similar preservatives have been used. It dries tack free and is not susceptible to attracting dirt and eliminating surface oxidation. The treatment quickly becomes water repellent is resistant to wind driven rain and blocks water from being absorbed into wood during destructive freeze/thaws cycles.

SURFACE PREPARATION
All surfaces must be cleaned to remove all dirt, dust, salts, oils, paints and coatings before applying SILOCOAT MS
APPLICATION
SILOCOAT MS is supplied ready to use or in a concentrate for large applications. It can be applied by brushing, rolling, immersion or spraying. The best method of application is to use a low pressure spray directly in a misting action. The sealer can be applied in one or two coats, depending on the absorbency of the substrate. Exact coverage is dependent on the density of the surface but is normally 500 sq/ft/gl. The surface may be a slightly damp, but the dryer the surface, the better the effect. SILOCOAT MS is usually applied with a low pressure pump with a fan (15-25 degree) nozzle. When rolling use a 1” nap roller. On vertical surfaces, apply the SILOCOAT MS in a flooding application from the bottom of the substrate to the top, in a misting action. Use a micro cloth and wipe the surface with the wet polymer coating. Always apply SILOCOAT MS in a small mock up area to determine compatibility before coating entire structure.
CLEAN UP
Clean up all tools with water.
LIMITATIONS
Not intended for below grade application. Do not apply if the surface temperature is below 40For above 100F. Do not apply if rain is expected within 4 hours of application. Do not apply product in high winds. Protect all adjacent substrates during application. When coating in confined areas, always wear an NIOSH approved respirator.
