Smith’s Aqua-Sil S is a penetrating water-based silane sealer for use on a variety of mineral based porous substrates. 

Smith’s Aqua-Sil S is effective for applications where excellent water repellency is desired to reduce cracking, freeze / thaw damage, chemical degradation, biological growth, efflorescence and dirt pickup without darkening nor enhancing the color of the substrate.  

RECOMMENDED SEALER FOR:

  • Porous Mineral Based Substrates such as:
    • Brick
    • Previously unsealed Concrete (>28 days old)
    • Pavers
    • Saltillo Tile (Clay)
    • Stucco
    • Natural Stone
    • All light colored decorative plasters, Concrete look grey series, light colored Microcement for interior fireplaces, feature walls etc



HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Extends substrate life cycle
    • Improves Freeze / Thaw Stability 
    • Helps protect new substrates by sealing off the surface pores from deicers, liquid spills, etc.
    • Future recoats are simplified – deep clean then reapplication once the substrate wears enough to cause poor water repellency 
  • Breathable non-film forming sealer which soaks into porous mineral-based substrates
    • Allow moisture to escape from underneath
    • Stops efflorescence transfer
  • Does not change the natural texture or appearance of the substrate
    • No change to existing slip coefficient of friction – Does not improve nor reduce existing traction to horizontal surfaces
  • Reduces maintenance costs
  • User Friendly
    • Spray, Brush or Roller application
    • Clean up tools with mild soap and water
  • Low VOC & Low Odor
  • U.V. Stable
  • Water Repellent
    • Excellent beading for improved aesthetics

This is the one of only two water based sealers we have tested over the years that does not change the surface appearance of the plaster. Consistently this sealer has performed and seals well against water and general stains, especially for exteriors. Although this sealer is expensive, it will outperform any other sealer we have found on the Canadian market and is used on all our own jobs and has been for many years now.

We recommend this sealer for all light colors and specifically for our concrete effect grey plasters, as it produces the nicest overall appearance. If you are using our lime based plasters or concrete look white in darker shades please purchase our Stain Shield Penetrating Sealer. This Sealer can leave white residue on darker colors due to the high concentration of tint, and will discolor your finish. Using any other penetrating sealers that are lesser quality will only create even more damaging white stains. 

Recommended for lower impact commercial areas, fireplaces, feature walls. For all dark colored surfaces and higher water prone areas we recommend using Stain Shield as it produces more oil and water resistance for hood ranges, back splashes, exterior applications etc.
