What is Star Water Shield?

Star Water Shield Solvent-Based Waterproofing Product

Advanced Solvent-Based Waterproofing Solution

Star Water Shield is a high-end, solvent-based, nanotechnology-driven hydrophobic penetrating coating made from unique silicons. It reacts with moisture and ambient carbon dioxide to form an insoluble, ultra-hydrophobic, water-repellent coating with a water contact angle of 130°.

This innovative solution prevents water penetration, efflorescence, and corrosion while enhancing durability and improving indoor air quality by inhibiting mold and mildew growth.

How It Works

1

Surface Preparation

Clean surface of dust, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Ensure it is dry before application.

2

Mixing

Shake well and mix for 2 minutes using a low-speed stirrer (300-400 RPM).

3

Application

Apply liberally with brush or spray. Apply subsequent coats perpendicularly after 60-90 minutes.

4

Curing

Full cure achieved in 24 hours at 25°C, 50% RH. Protect from rain and abrasion during this period.

How to Apply

Application Methods

Spray Application

Use an airless spray for large, even surfaces. Ensure uniform coverage with overlapping passes.

Brush Application

Use a nylon brush for smaller areas or detailed work. Apply liberally ensuring complete coverage.

Surface Preparation

Clean surface thoroughly to remove dust, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Ensure the surface is completely dry before application. For cracks wider than 0.5 mm, fill them appropriately before applying Star Water Shield.

Application Guidelines

Recommended Coats: 2

Temperature Range: 10–35°C
