Restora WP081: Advanced Protection and Consolidation for Mineral and Natural Stone Surfaces

Restora WP081 is an oligomeric propyl silicate concentrate product developed to provide water repellency and consolidation on mineral and natural stone surfaces. It is formulated to increase durability against external elements while preserving the original texture of natural stones and mineral building materials.

Unlike conventional protectants, it penetrates into the building material to provide consolidation and helps extend the lifespan of surfaces.

Versatile Usage and Material Compatibility

Restora WP081 features a wide range of applications and exhibits high compatibility with different mineral-based building materials. It offers balanced performance, especially in protecting porous materials exposed to external elements.

Generally, it is effectively preferred for materials such as bricks, roof tiles, floor tiles, terracotta, sandstone, and limestone. Its ability to show both water-repellent and structural strengthening properties, especially on lightly fired clay products, places the product in an advantageous position in restoration projects.

Advantages Offered by Restora WP081

The product's formulation is designed to minimize environmental deterioration while preserving the physical properties of the applied surface:

• Deep Penetration: It deeply penetrates the pores of mineral surfaces, supporting the surface in gaining water-repellent properties from the inside out.
• Rapid Curing: It dries quickly after application and begins to show its effect in a short period.
• Salt and Chloride Protection: In addition to water, it significantly reduces the penetration of harmful water-soluble salts and chlorides into the surface.
• Breathable Structure: While offering effective water repellency, it does not prevent the passage of water vapor. Thus, the natural breathable structure of the surface is preserved.
• Safe and Efficient Use: It provides a safe working environment and high efficiency with its environmentally safe formulation.

Long-Term Protection and Beading Effect

On surfaces treated with Restora WP081, a distinct beading effect occurs, allowing water droplets to remain on the surface without being absorbed by the material. This effect helps keep structural elements clean by preventing rainwater from accumulating on the surface.

This technology, which does not clog the natural pore structure of the material, also contributes to preventing structural issues such as frost cracks, molding, and flaking that can result from moisture accumulation.

Points to Consider During Application

Restora WP081 offers highly efficient use thanks to its concentrated structure. The following points are recommended during the application process:

1. Surface Preparation

Ensuring that the mineral or natural stone surfaces to be treated are dry, clean, and free of dust, oil, dirt, and loose materials facilitates full penetration of the product into the surface.

2. Proper Application Technique

It should be applied homogeneously with suitable equipment depending on the absorption rate of the material. On highly absorbent surfaces, such as lightly fired clay products and sensitive limestones, applying the product until saturation is reached improves performance.
