Remmers Funcosil SN – Water-Repellent Impregnation
Packaging: 30 liters
Remmers Funcosil SN is a colorless, water-repellent facade impregnation based on silane/siloxane, specially developed for solvent-sensitive building materials and connection zones. The product penetrates deeply into porous mineral substrates and provides durable, water-repellent protection against moisture, rain, and dirt. Funcosil SN maintains the vapor permeability of the material and is safe to use with solvent-sensitive materials such as polystyrene (insulation boards) or bitumen.
Applications
Funcosil SN is suitable for water-repellent treatment of various porous mineral building materials:
-
Sand-lime brick (smooth or rough/broken)
-
Fiber cement
-
Fine porous brick masonry
-
Plaster layers and stucco
-
Insulation plaster
-
Aerated concrete
The product is ideal for renovation or protection of old, weathered facades and is often applied where solvent-sensitive materials are present, such as cavity insulation or styropor finishes.
Key Features
-
Water-repellent — effectively protects against penetrating moisture
-
Vapor-permeable — allows water vapor to escape, preventing moisture accumulation
-
Deep-penetrating — ensures long-lasting hydrofobation
-
UV and weather-resistant — withstands all weather conditions
-
Alkali-resistant — suitable for various mineral substrates
-
Compatible with solvent-sensitive materials such as polystyrene and bitumen
-
Improves frost and de-icing salt resistance and supports energy efficiency
-
Long-lasting protection — when applied correctly
Application Tips
-
Substrate must be clean, dust-free, and dry
-
Apply Funcosil SN without pressure by flowing, creating a 30–50 cm liquid film
-
Immediately work over with a block brush from top to bottom; repeat until no further absorption occurs
-
For hard-to-reach areas, use a well-saturated brush
-
Protect freshly treated surfaces from rain, wind, and sun for at least 5 hours
