SiIicones Turn to Job Of Making Easements Dry

other paint coatings. except
Portland cement paint. Oil-base
paints must be removed because
they may loosen and peel in the
future and oil or water prevents
silicones from entering pores
and migrating.
A wall should be brushed down
with a wire brush to remove loose
particles. Then it must be thor
oughly saturated with water. A
fine spray from garden hose
will do this. The wetter the wall
the deeper the silicones can
penetrate.
A first coat of this compound
is then applied with a scrub
brush. This type of brush is rec
commended because rough-tex-
tured masonry soon wears down

this direction. Silicones, which
are extremely minute in size.
are derived from silicon. a nat
ural element. They have played
important roles in the manufac-
ture of lubricants and steel.
Recently a cement paint in
powder form. soluble in water,
comprising a base Of powder
containing silicones, activated
metallic compounds and very
finely ground aggregates, was
developed. The manufacturers
say that when this compound Is
applied to a thoroughly wet con-
crete wall, the silicones do not
merely remain on the surface,
but have a tendency to migrate,
following the moisture into the
wall.
The silicones expand, become
insoluble and non-reversible. The
result Is an eggshell-like seal.
Silicones also can be used as
curerS In new watertight con-
crete. They slow down the dry
ing process, penetrating as deep
ly as the moisture exists and
thus waterproof the finished wall
or floor.
To waterproof an existing
basement. sources of incom-
ing water must be eliminated.
Holes or cracks have to be filled
AL spaces closed up. The sur
face Of the concrete or masonry
to be waterproofed must be free
OF dirt, dust. SCOT, grease and
