2 Our full spectrum of silicone building solutions

3 Bluestar Silicones General introduction Bluesil products: reliable for a long lasting protection Bluestar Silicones is one of the world s leading fully integrated silicone manufacturers with application and research laboratories, production sites and sales offices located all around the globe. We focus on developing state-of the art application expertise to help our customers challenge their boundaries. At Bluestar Silicones we re more than just manufacturers of high quality silicones products. We are dedicated people, world wide located, committed to your success. From technical support to customized formulation, Bluestar Silicones has the people in place when and where you need them. Buildings in stone or mineral materials have a porous surface that tends to absorb water while being continuously exposed to weathering and sunlight. To guarantee the durability and beauty of coatings and surfaces over the long term, silicones provide an ideal solution that has been used and improved over the last 50 years. The outstanding water repellency of our silicone resins prevents damage due to moisture, mildew development, loss of thermal insulation. Their very high vapour permeability allows the material to breathe and let water vapour escape to the outside without causing damage. These unique properties of Bluesil products will allow significative cost and energy savings. Energy consumption increased by evaporation of absorbed water in untreated materials: Severe heat loss Increased thermal conductivity Bluestar Silicones is dedicated to serving the Building Protection market by building a lasting partnership you can rely upon. A silicone producer for more than 50 years, Bluestar Silicones is committed to serving its customers by respecting all regulatory standards and offering you extensive service, material expertise and helping you in your sustainable development policy. Our teams help you to choose the best Building Protection product. Hydrophobic treatment allows: Energy / effectiveness compromise Preserved heat Optimized thermal insulation

4 The building protection Bluesil solutions: unique in its ability to get sustainability and durability Damages due to moisture in building Penetration of moisture through the wall Cracks caused by swelling & shrinkage Damage due to freeze thaw Efflorescence, aesthetic damages Development of algae, fungi, moss with health risk Chemical corrosion of the materials Loss of thermal insulation Benefits of silicones Maximum reduction of water uptake Permeability to water vapour: breathability Resistance to UV light, reduced efflorescence No change in surface appearance Long lasting effect, outstanding durability & protection Reduced maintenance: cost saving Thermal conductivity stability Environmental compatibility UV & chemical resistance Silicone technology: a polymer with outstanding unique properties Reduced capillarity Water repellency Hydrophobia beading effect Gas permeability breathability Very low surface tension spreadability UV & chemical resistance durability Permeable to water vapor Treated Non-treated Silicones have very high water repellency which remains unaffected by changes in temperature and climatic conditions. This provides very low water absorption levels over time which prevent paints to swell or scale, and enable walls to keep their initial aesthetic aspect. Thanks to their outstanding water vapor permeability silicones do not block the surface s micro-porosity when applied to materials and so, whether in paints or water repellents, silicones let surfaces breathe. Moisture in the material can therefore evaporate from inside to outside resulting in a regular transfer of water and CO2.

5 Bluestar Silicones General introduction Bluesil silicone building protection solutions, sustainable savings thanks to outstanding properties Masonry protection Bluesil BP solutions can offer a wide range of silicone technologies which develops high water repellency performances with several benefits: outstanding resistance to weathering high protection against efflorescences, algae, fungi appearance durability improved thermal conductivity maintenance cost savings Decorative paints Bluesil BP grades are solvent free siloxane emulsions. These water based co binders or additives bring hydrophobicity and allow walls to breathe with: long lasting protection durable aesthetic effect good washability enhanced thermal insulation Construction materials Bluesil BP water repellents are used to protect several type of materials used in construction industry against moisture. Mostly based on solvent free products, their advantages are: increased global comfort of houses & buildings improved insulation properties energy cost savings contribution to environmental protection

7 Bluestar Silicones Water repellents Bluesil water repellents for durable masonry protection Over the years, buildings suffer physical and chemical damages caused by water penetrating into building materials. Water vapor Treatment The main technical solution for masonry protection therefore involves creating a water-proof barrier while maintaining the surface s breathability and porosity. This is achieved by impregnating diluted Bluesil silicone solutions into the materials: the silicone forms a monomolecular layer inside the capillaries that makes the pore surface water-proof without closing them completely, and thus with no modification of the initial aspect of the material. Untreated Capillary: wetting Rain, UV Capillary coated with silicone: no wetting Water proofing mechanism Pollution Bluesil water repellent: an ideal solution for a wide range of applications Prevent water absorption Beading effect Outstanding resistance to ageing agents (freeze, thaw, UV ) High durability Very good resistance to acid rains Optimized thermal insulation Maintenance cost saving Preserved initial characteristics of the wall: aesthetics, breathability, High protection against efflorescence, algae, fungi development

9 Bluestar Silicones Water repellents Bluesil range easy to use Products in the Bluesil range have the advantage to be used diluted before application. Normally we recommend an active ingredient content of between 5 and 8%. Thus, the dilution ratio varies between one part of water repellent for 4.5 to 20 parts of diluent, whether water or solvent according to the water repellent used. Once diluted, the solution is stable for at least one year. The diluted solution can easily be applied by dipping, with a brush or by spraying. The water repellent performance of the treated materials depends on the quantity applied to the surface. It will only be optimal if a sufficient quantity of Bluesil water repellent is applied. The dilution concentration must take account of the absorption capacity of the material and its porosity.

13 Bluestar Silicones Decorative coatings Bluesil silicones for decorative coatings Only siloxane paints can guarantee long lasting protection against water penetration and keep a façade looking good. Their outstanding durability allows the time between renovations to be extended by at least 50%, which means cost effectiveness. Bluesil BP silicone resins and additives are used to enhance the water repellency and breathability of many types of paints and renders either for new constructions or renovations. Used as co-binders associated with polymer dispersions, resin emulsions represent 5 to 50% of the total binder system. Additives provide water liquid resistance and specific properties (such as beading effect, cleanability,...), and are generally added at the end of the formulation at a level between 0.1 to 3% of the total ingredients.
