Silicone Hydrophobic Powder (SHP): Ideal for Improving the Performance of Building Materials

Silicone Hydrophobic Powder (SHP) is a high-performance hydrophobic powder material made of silane or siloxane compounds. It can significantly improve the waterproof and weather resistance properties of building materials and is widely used in dry mortars, exterior wall coatings, putty powder and gypsum products. As an innovative hydrophobic agent, SHP is gradually becoming a popular product of customer concern in the construction industry.

Why choose Silicone Hydrophobic Powder?

1. Excellent hydrophobic properties

Due to its unique silicon oxide chemical structure, SHP can form a uniform hydrophobic film on the surface of the material, significantly reducing the absorption and penetration of moisture. This hydrophobic effect can not only improve the waterproof performance of the building, but also effectively prevent the growth of mold and corrosion by alkaline substances, thus extending the service life of building materials.

2. Improve weather resistance and stain resistance

SHP not only has excellent waterproof function, but also enhances the weather resistance of the material. It can effectively resist damage to building materials from ultraviolet rays, acid rain and other harsh weather. In addition, SHP can also reduce the adhesion of surface stains, making the coating easier to clean and maintaining the beauty of the building.

3. Wide range of applications

SHP is suitable for use in a variety of dry powder formulations, including cement-based mortars, gypsum-based products, coatings and putty powders. It is compatible with a variety of building materials without changing the basic properties of the original materials, so it is widely used in many fields such as building waterproofing, exterior wall decoration, and interior wall protection.

4. Easy to construct and long-lasting performance

As a powdered product, SHP can be easily mixed with dry mortar or other powder materials. It is easy to use and will not affect the construction process. Compared with traditional liquid hydrophobic agents, SHP is easier to store and transport, and its hydrophobic effect remains stable under long-term exposure to various environmental conditions.

Main Applications of Silicone Hydrophobic Powder (SHP)

1. Dry mortar and putty powder

In dry mortar and putty powder, SHP can effectively improve the waterproof performance of the material and reduce cracks and water seepage problems. It can enhance the density of materials and prevent rain or moisture from penetrating. It is especially suitable for anti-crack mortars in exterior wall insulation systems.

2. Exterior wall paint and decorative coating

The application of SHP in exterior wall coatings can improve the weather resistance and waterproof performance of the coating, making the coating surface less prone to problems such as cracking, blistering or peeling. For building surfaces that require high decorative qualities, the use of SHP can maintain the long-term beauty and durability of the exterior walls.

3. Gypsum-based products

In gypsum-based products, SHP can significantly improve the material's moisture resistance and avoid material deformation or strength reduction caused by humid environments. It is especially suitable for areas with high humidity such as kitchens and bathrooms to ensure the stability and durability of gypsum products.

4. Waterproof coatings and sealing materials

As an efficient hydrophobic additive, SHP is also widely used in various waterproof coatings and sealing materials. It can enhance the waterproofing effect of coatings while improving the impermeability and weather resistance of sealing materials to meet customer needs for high-performance waterproofing solutions.
