SARSIL® mineral is a water emulsion of polysiloxanes de- signed for hydrophobization of mineral wool bonded with a binding agent made of phenol resins.
SARSIL® mineral is used as a modi er of a binding agent made of phenol resin. The emulsion is recommended to be used as an additive in the quantity of 0.08 to 0.2 % relative to the amount of binding agent. Optimal amount of the emulsion to be used should be determined based on the initial tests performed.
SARSIL® mineral can be added directly to the binding agent solution. However, better distribution of this modi- er in the phenol binding agent can be achieved when the modi er diluted in water is applied.
Recommended dilution ratio: 1:1 or 1:5 (SARSIL® mi- neral: water). Gently mix the emulsion while adding water.
