Athon CA 7200 Silane is a hydrolysed aminofunctional silane aqueous solution.
•Very stable aqueous solution
•Adhesion promoter
•Primer
Aqueous solution of an aminofunctional silane homopolymer, used as an additive or primer in water-based systems to improve bonding between organic resins and inorganic substrates. Works with phenolic and epoxy resins, as well as with polyurethanes and acrylics.
For use as primer, dilute to 10% solids in water or isopropanol and apply by immersion or by brush.
For use as adhesion promoting additive, it should be added during the final dilution stage at a concentration of 0.5 to 3.0% by weight. If there are fillers, silicas or pigments, higher levels may be required, as the silane may preferentially absorb on these surfaces.

Athon PC 2000 Silicone Coating is a room temperature cured siloxane-based composition for surface coating.
•One-component system
•Effective on many construction materials
•Single layer application generally sufficient, multi-layer application possible
•Weatherproof
•Water repellent
•Permeable to water vapor
•Dilutable in organic solvents
•Allows removal of graffiti with water
•Enhances surface color
•Protects metal surfaces from corrosion
Athon PC 2000 Silicone Coating is suitable for mineral-based construction materials such as concrete, brick, limestone, natural and artificial stone, plaster, wood and coated metal surfaces as permanent protection against graffiti. For surfaces already coated with paints and other coatings, a previous test is necessary to assess whether there is a need for a combination with a suitable primer.
The product can also be used as a permanent release coating in some industrial processes.
Athon PC 2000 Silicone Coating cures quickly once applied to dry substrates and exposed to moisture in the air.
Curing takes place at the surface and progresses to the substrate based on available ambient moisture. Thorough drying for heavier film layers may require up to 24 hours.
Suitable solvents include aliphatic (hexane, turpentine) and aromatic (xylene and toluene). It is not recommended thinners or others based on ethyl acetate for example. Containers, once opened, must be used until empty. Any remaining coating, exposed to air, will continue to cure and thicken, resulting in surface skin formation and increased viscosity.

Athon WR 460 Emulsion is a 50% non-volatile emulsion containing water- dilutable silane and siloxane mixture for water-repellent treatment of surfaces.
•Good depth of penetration
•Rapid development of water repellency
•Highly durable and effective beading effect (water droplet formation)
•Non-tack drying
•Provides good adhesion for inks
•Compatible with water and environmentally friendly
•Stable in storage, even when diluted
Athon WR 460 Emulsion is an excellent water repellent for many absorbent mineral substrates such as bricks, natural sandstone and mineral agglomerates.
Not so suitable for dense and less absorbent natural stones, especially limestone, marble and reinforced concrete for bridges and roads (refer to Athon CA 770 Silane and Athon CA 794 Silane for this kind of substrates). Due to its aqueous consistency and storage stability when diluted, the product is ideally suited for factory waterproofing of prefabricated building elements based on clay, cellular concrete, mineral fibers and lightweight aggregates.
Athon WR 460 Emulsion can also serve as a water-repellent additive for water-based paints and plasters.
•Use as a hydrofobic impregnant agent:
Tap water is suitable for the preparation of dilutions of the product for use as a water-repellent facade. Dilutions of Athon WR 460 Emulsion in the ratio of 1:4 to 1:9 are recommended depending on how absorbent the substrate is. Always homogenize the concentrate and the diluted product before use. Apply dilution ready for use preferably by drenching. Two “wet on wet” coats are required to ensure complete coverage. If it starts to rain, stop the treatment and cover the impregnated areas.
•Use as an additive in concrete mixture
Pre-dilute Athon WR 460 Emulsion in a ratio of 1:4 with water. This premix should be added to the feed ratio of 1.0% to 5.0% of the cement content of the mixture. A significant reduction in water absorption can already be achieved at a concentration of 1.0% of the cement. The premix is added simultaneously or immediately after the mixing water – it should never be added together with other additives. The original water/cement ratio of the whole mix should be preserved – so the amount of water used in the premix should be discounted from the total water added. The longer the mixing time, the better the distribution of the product within the system, improving the additive effectiveness.
