Shake or Stir Before Using
MasonrySaver for Block is an architectural grade
product that meets all industry guidelines for selection of commercial water
repellents for concrete block and concrete masonry units (CMU). This high
performance penetrating blend of silane/siloxane and acrylic elastomers bonds
with the minerals in blocks and CMU’s to provide long-lasting water repellency.
MasonrySaver for Block is breathable, and treated surfaces show little or no
change in color or appearance. Product can be used on denser material such as
brick where a slight sheen or gloss is desirable. See Product Data Sheet for
additional information and uses.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Surface and air temperatures should be a minimum of 40°F. Do not use on asphalt-based material and surfaces. Do not apply to frozen or
frost covered surfaces. Application must be clean, sound, dry to slightly
damp surfaces. Do not apply to wet or water saturated surfaces, or when rainfall
is expected within six hours.
Surface Preparation: Remove dust, dirt, grease, oils, efflorescence, wax,
curing compounds, coatings or other foreign matter that might block or interfere
with product penetration. See Product Data Sheet for acceptable cleaning
methods.
Cure new construction a minimum of twenty eight days, and at least three days
after repairs or tuckpointing before applying MasonrySaver for Block. Make
necessary repairs including: structural cracks, faulty roofing, coping,
flashings, expansion joints, mortar joints and sealants. Provide adequate
ventilation if applied indoors.
Application: Protect all adjacent glossy surfaces, paint films, windows,
plant life, asphalt-based materials and all other non-targeted surface from
overspray and run-down. Remove overspray from non-targeted surfaces immediately
with soap and water. Apply to southern exposed areas during coolest part of day.
Mix well before using. Test small area of surface before starting general
application to assure desired results and coverage rates. Allow areas to dry
seventy-two hours before inspection and approval by the project architect and/or
building owner. Apply from bottom up using a low pressure sprayer (10-25 psi)
with a fan type nozzle, or by roller with a minimum 3/8in nap. Flood surface
until excess runs down six to eight inches below spray or roller pattern. For
maximum penetration and desired coverage rates, a wet on wet application is
recommended; retreat within three to five minutes after initial application.
When treating fluted block, apply in an overlapping X pattern to ensure complete
coverage of recessed surfaces. A wet treated surface may be agitated with a soft
bristle scrub brush to ensure more even distribution and greater penetration.
Some surfaces may require two applications to provide maximum protection. The
second application should be applied as soon as the first is dry to the touch,
or within two hours of the first application. The effectiveness of the second
application will be reduced if it is applied after two hours.
Painting Treated Surfaces:
MasonrySaver for Block is compatible with most quality oil base paints
recommended for exterior masonry surfaces. When painting over surfaces treated
with MasonrySaver for Block, a small test area should be painted to ensure good
adhesion and desired results.
Drying Time - Thirty minutes to two hours depending on temperature and
humidity.
Clean Up - Thoroughly rinse spray equipment with clean water. Clean
rollers with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.

Helpful Tips: Protect surrounding vegetation. Wet leaves and greenery
before and after application or cover with plastic. Asphaltic material may be
damaged if soaked. Protect from run-off with drop cloths or other absorbent
material.
