Technical Properties
„CAPILASIL WOOD is a hydrophobic (water-repellent) paste without solvents.
APPLICATION AREAS
- „CAPILASIL WOOD is specifically designed for hydrophobic impregnation of wood and neutral substrates such as red bricks, natural stone, etc.
- It can also be used to impregnate concrete with good technical absorbency.
- The formula is unique: it is water-based, but the water molecule is inside the “CAPILASIL WOOD” molecule.
- The advantage is that even in the aqueous phase, the product does not mix with water, so immediately after the “CAPILASIL WOOD” is absorbed into the substrate, it can rain, and the product will not be washed away.
- The product is white, milky in color; when applied, it appears like paint, which allows for easy differentiation of treated surfaces and the amount of product applied. Upon absorption into the substrate, the product becomes transparent.
ADVANTAGES
„CAPILASIL WOOD is an excellent water-repellent agent with the following properties:
- deep penetration;
- effective protection against general rain and wind exposure;
- prevents the absorption of road salt;
- resistant to alkalis;
- non-tacky finish, leaves no marks;
- does not reduce permeability to water vapor;
- in many cases it is not necessary to protect windows, profiles, etc.;
- solvent-free and with a low amount of VOC (volatile organic compounds).

| Active content | About 25 % |
| Density (20 °C) | About 1.0 g/cm³ |
| USAGE DATA | |
|---|---|
| Storage | “CAPILASIL WOOD” can be stored in closed containers for about 6 months. The product must be kept protected from cold; the storage temperature must not exceed 30 °C. If stored longer, we strongly recommend conducting a test on the substrate before using the product. |
| Yield | Absorption depends on the porosity of the substrate. Generally, 1 liter is sufficient for treating 1–3 m² of masonry and 2–6 m² of concrete. |
| FINAL CHARACTERISTICS ACHIEVED | After 28 days |

- “CAPILASIL WOOD” is used as supplied and does not need to be diluted. It should be applied to clean, dry surfaces using standard methods, such as a roller, brush, or airless spray.
- Yield strongly depends on the absorbency of the substrate. It can range from 50 to 400 g/m². Before final impregnation, we recommend conducting small tests to determine the required yield.
- On certain surfaces, a batocromic shift (color change/darkening) may occur, but this does not affect its effectiveness. Very dense substrates (e.g., marble) may be unsuitable for impregnation with products like “CAPILASIL WOOD.”
- The product should not be applied at temperatures lower than 5 °C. When you want to use the product at temperatures higher than 30 °C, you must compensate for product loss due to evaporation.
PRECAUTIONS
- Attention: the product may cause skin irritation.
- If it comes into contact with skin, wash with water and soap.
- If inhaled, ensure fresh air supply.
- If it gets into eyes, rinse the eye immediately with plenty of water, protecting the other, uninjured eye.
- If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately and show the package and label.
- Keep away from any sources of ignition.
- Do not pour into drains or wastewater.
- Do not pour onto the ground/soil.
- Collect using absorbent material (sand, universal absorbent).
