  • Epicuro HP (High Penetration) Silane II is a safe to use, deep penetrating (up to 5cm) Hydrophobic Impregnation Silane. This unique penetration characteristic is due to it’s small, nano-size molecule, some 20 times smaller than those of low penetration Silane/Siloxane products.

    Epicuro HP Silane II achieves CLASS II performance rather than lower CLASS I, which is normal with other Silane/Siloxane based products.

    Epicuro HP Silane II is a colourless, water and solvent free impregnation product designed to provide in-depth protection in concrete and materials of mineral origin, against water, humidity, chlorides, corrosion and salt migration.

    Epicuro HP Silane II is a non-film-forming product i.e. it allows the material to “breathe”. It is also very effective on microcracks up to 0.3 mm, and stops alkali-silica or alkali-aggregate reactions in concrete and construction materials.

    Epicuro HP Silane II is ideal to protect Civil Engineering structures (road bridges, rail bridges, marine structures, car parks and architectural concrete).

    • Shake the container well before use.
    • The surface must be dry, clean and free of any trace of oil, grease, cleaning product, dust, efflorescence, paint or any other substance liable to prevent the correct penetration of Epicuro HP Silane II.
    • Use the product in it’s pure state: NEVER dilute.
    • Epicuro HP Silane II can be applied either with a brush or with a low-pressure sprayer with a Viton seal.
    • Apply 1 to 2 coats until saturation is achieved, according to surface sorptivity, degree of exposure to weather and abrasion. In exceptional cases, coastal, marine tidal environments, Epicuro HP Silane II must be applied in 3 or more coats (seek advice from Epicuro Ltd).
    • Epicuro HP Silane II can be treated or over-coated a minimum of 4 hours after application.
  • ALWAYS KEEP CHEMICALS OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND ANIMALS

    • Always refer to product MSDS prior to use to ensure appropriate PPE is used.
    • Respiratory protection: Wear adequate protection mask.
    • Hand protection: Wear rubber gloves.
    • Skin protection: No special clothing or skin protection is recommended under normal conditions of use.
    • Eye protection: If there is a risk of considerable splashing, wear protective goggles.
    • In the event of ingestion: do not induce vomiting. Contact a doctor or a specialist.

    CONSUMPTION

    Consumption depends on the porosity of the concrete or other substrate. The values below are given only as an indication:
    Recommended 400lm/m2 per coat

    STORAGE

    Store away from frost and heat in a dry place: temperature between 5 °C and 30 °C.

    CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

    Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with ecological cleaners.

    SHELF LIFE

    Provided the container is keep closed whilst not in use, and kept within the recommended storage temperature: storage life 24 months.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    Only treat surfaces which have been cleaned of any atmospheric pollution. For perfect application and effective protection, Epicuro HP Silane II must be shaken and always used when the temperature of the surfaces to be coated is above 5 °C. Avoid application in high winds.

    Do not apply in rainy, frosty or extremely hot weather. Temperature between 5 °C and 30 °C.

    NEVER dilute or mix with another product.
