Foxfire SS - WB Repellent™ Penetrating Chimney Sealer Foxfire SS - WB Repellent™ is a single-component, low VOC, penetrating silane-siloxane water repellent. It is an easily applied, water-based product formulated to penetrate most masonry and concrete pores and capillaries up to 1/4-inch or more, depending on surface porosity and moisture content at the time of application. Upon penetration, an invisible barrier is formed, and microscopic pores are filled below the surface. That reaction forms a hydrophobic barrier which provides the surface years of protection from moisture intrusion. Foxfire SS - WB Repellent™ helps reduce spalling damage caused by the expansion of water trapped inside brick or masonry during cycles of freezing and thawing. As a 100% breathable repellent, it also allows vapor from interior space to safely escape. Foxfire SS - WB Repellent™ is low odor and environmentally friendly, with a VOC content of less than 20 g/L. PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES: • Prevents water penetration • Protects from wind-driven rains • Deters efflorescence • Inhibits waterborne stains • Resists mildew & fungus • Reduces freeze-thaw cracking and spalling • Water-based formula for easy clean up • Will not affect surface profile • Low VOC formula • 100% Vapor permeable • Does not change appearance of brick or mortar
