Abstract
A water repellent composition for treating surfaces which is an aqueous solution of a water soluble silane coupling agent and an alkyltrialkoxysilane. The alkyltrialkoxysilane is either an alkyltrialkoxysilanes with C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl groups on silicon or a blend of alkyltrialkoxysilanes each with C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl groups on silicon. A treatmetn method for wood and masonry is disclosed.
Claims25
A composition comprising an aqueous solution of a water soluble silane coupling agent and an alkyltrialkoxysilane, the alkyltrialkoxysilane being selected from the group consisting of alkyltrialkoxysilanes with C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl groups on silicon and a blend of alkyltrialkoxysilanes each with C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl groups on silicon, the alkyltrialkoxysilane and the silane coupling agent being present in the aqueous solutions in the mole ratio of between about 0.5:1.0 to about 3.0:1.0.
A method of treating a surface in order to render the surface water repellent comprising applying to the surface to be treated an aqueous solution of a water soluble silane coupling agent and an alkyltrialkoxysilane, the alkyltrialkoxysilane being selected from the group consisting of alkyltrialkoxysilanes with C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl groups on silicon and a blend of alkyltrialkoxysilanes each with C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl groups on silicon, the alkyltrialkoxysilane and the silane coupling agent being present in the aqueous solution in the mole ratio of between about 0.5:1.0 to about 3.0:1.0.
A method of treating a cellulosic surface in order to render the surface water repellent comprising applying to the cellulosic surface to be treated an aqueous solution of a water soluble silane coupling agent and an alkyltrialkoxysilane, the alkyltrialkoxysilane being selected from the group consisting of alkyltrialkoxysilanes with C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl groups on silicon and a blend of alkyltrialkoxysilanes each with C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl groups on silicon, the alkyltrialkoxysilane and the silane coupling agent being present in the aqueous solution in the mole ratio of between about 0.5:1.0 to about 3.0:1.0.
