Silicone Hydrophobic Powder (SHP) Supplier- Powerful Water Repellent

What is Silicone Hydrophobic Powder?

Silicone hydrophobic powder, generally abbreviated as SHP, is a versatile chemical additive known for its remarkable water-repellent properties. It is a fine, white powder composed of silicone polymer, a synthetic polymer known for its unique combination of flexibility, stability, and resistance to various environmental factors. Therefore, this fine powdered material can be designed to modify the surface characteristics of various substrates, making them highly resistant to water and moisture. Silicone hydrophobic powder is often used in a wide range of industrial applications (tile grout, waterproof mortar, etc.) to provide waterproofing or water-repellent qualities for materials.

5 Main Features of NOVASTAR™ Silicone Water Repellent

Outstanding Hydrophobic Performance

NOVASTAR™ Silicone hydrophobic powder can form a hydrophobic film on the surface of building materials to prevent water penetration and enhance water resistance. At the same time, when water vapor or raindrops in the air touch the surface of the material, NOVASTAR™ water repellent can exert an excellent water drop effect, which means that liquid water is difficult to stay on the slope or facade and rolls down in the form of water droplets, thereby preventing the outside from penetrating into the cement-based material.

Good Durability

The surface treated with silicone hydrophobic powder usually has longer durability and can maintain a hydrophobic effect for a long time, which helps prolong the lifespan of the construction.

Environment-friendly

NOVASTAR™ silicone water repellent has good environmental protection performance and will not cause pollution to the environment.

Gas Permeability

With good gas permeability, NOVASTAR™ silicone water repellent will not affect the gas permeability of the treated material.

Good Abrasion Performance

The powder helps the treated surface have a certain degree of wear resistance and can protect building materials from erosion by external factors.

Multiple Applications of NOVASTAR™ Waterproofing Agent

Construction worker installing styrofoam insulation sheets
  • Waterproof and moisture-proof
NOVASTAR™ Silicone hydrophobic agents can form a colorless and transparent film on the surface of the External Thermal Insulation System. This film is water-repellent, which helps protect insulation from moisture. In addition, silicone hydrophobic agents will not block the pores and micropores of the substrate, ensuring the air permeability of the wall and further preventing moisture and mold.
  • Extended service life
The excellent durability of silicone hydrophobic agents enables them to remain in good condition under ultraviolet radiation and atmospheric aging, ensuring that the waterproof effect lasts for many years. This property allows the treated wall surface to remain dry and clean for a long time, thereby extending the service life of the building.
  • Enhanced hydrophobic ability

Silicone hydrophobic agents can significantly improve the hydrophobicity of repair mortar, reduce the penetration of water into the mortar, and thereby prevent damage and performance degradation caused by water. This characteristic makes the surface of the repaired mortar less prone to moisture, prolonging the service life of the repaired area.

  • Intensified mechanical properties

NOVASTAR™ silicone hydrophobic agents do not affect the flexural and compressive strength of mortar; instead, they can enhance its anti-staining ability and maintain excellent brushing performance. This makes the repaired surface more solid and durable, capable of withstanding greater external forces and enhancing the stability of the overall structure.

Tile Grout

  • Waterproof effect

Adding a silicone hydrophobic agent can effectively improve the water and moisture resistance of tile grout so as to achieve the waterproof effect. This helps in preventing water seepage and mold growth in tiled areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and swimming pools. 

  • Uniform and anti-crack

 In addition, it can make the tile grout stronger, preventing the tile grout from cracking and falling off during use. The addition of a silicone hydrophobic agent can make the tile grout more uniform, not uneven, and improve aesthetics.

  • Enhanced hydrophobic
Silicone hydrophobic powder can reduce the water absorption rate of mortar and decrease the erosion of mortar by water.
  • Impermeability
It can also increase the impermeability pressure of mortar and enhance its ability to resist water pressure. Therefore, in waterproofing projects, the application of silicone hydrophobic powder can effectively extend the service life of the project and enhance the waterproofing effect.

Wall Putty

  • Waterproof effect
Silicone water repellent can significantly enhance the waterproof performance of putty, preventing water from penetrating into the interior of the wall, and thereby avoiding problems such as dampness and mold on the wall.
  • Good gas permeability
Despite being waterproof, the repellent still maintains a certain level of gas permeability, preventing walls from getting moldy due to dampness while not affecting the wall’s breathing function.

FAQs about Silicone Hydrophobic Powder

How Does Silicone Hydrophobic Powder Work?

   After the mortar with silicone hydrophobic powder added is mixed with water, the protective colloidal shell of the silicone hydrophobic agent dissolves rapidly in water and releases the encapsulated organosilanes, which are re-dispersed into water;
   The hydrophilic organic functional groups in silane hydrolyze to form highly reactive silanol groups;
   The silanol groups react irreversibly with the hydroxyl groups in cement hydration products to form a chemical bond;
   The chemically cross-linked silane is firmly fixed on the surface of the pore wall in the cement mortar, and the hydrophilic organic functional groups are oriented to the outside of the pore wall, which makes the pore surface hydrophobic, and the hardened mortar has a hydrophobic effect.

Yes, silicone hydrophobic powder is environmentally friendly as it is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and does not release harmful chemicals into the environment.
Silicone hydrophobic powder is recommended to be stored in a dry place below 30℃, avoiding moisture and direct sunlight. If the product is not used up, the packaging must be tightly sealed to prevent moisture intrusion.
