Product catalog summary
Introduction
Humidity in buildings can lead to various issues such as wall damage, heat loss, material destruction, and mold growth. This document discusses solutions using CAPILASIL water repellents to address these problems by making surfaces hydrophobic while maintaining water vapor permeability.
Specifications and Products
CAPILASIL products are designed to treat rising damp and surface moisture. They include:
  • CAPILASIL 10, HEH2O, HS: Used for injection into walls to form a hydrophobic barrier, suitable for walls with nitrate content between 4% and 8%.
  • IMPRESIL: A thinner for removing marks before polymerization.
  • CAPILASIL WOOD: Designed for wooden surfaces.
  • CAPILASIL PB: For non-porous limestone surfaces.
Product consumption varies based on wall dimensions and material type.
Application Procedures
CAPILASIL is applied using an injection pump following a specific protocol. For surface moisture, a "fresh on fresh" two-layer application is recommended to ensure deep penetration and longevity of the treatment. Consumption rates are provided for different materials.
Advantages
  • Prevents efflorescence and protects against driving rain.
  • Reduces moss and mold growth.
  • Prevents frost damage and supports material breathability.
  • Improves thermal insulation by keeping materials dry.
  • Keeps façades clean by preventing dirt penetration.
Recommendations
CAPILASIL formulations should be chosen based on the nature and porosity of the support. The application environment will determine the appropriate product. Contact BEAL for tailored solutions.

CAPILASIL-2

SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT Humidity in a building may have a range of consequences such as damage to the walls, heat loss, destruction of the materials (e.g. plasters, paintwork, wood panelling), mould, etc. It is the presence of water, in the form of liquid, vapor or rising capillaries. Moisture can be on the surface (rainwater penetration), rising from below (by capillary action) or in the form of condensation (thermal bridges, lack of aeration and/or heat insulation, etc.). Treatment with CAPILASIL changes the surface tension of a “hydrophilic” material to make it “hydrophobic”, while retaining...

CAPILASIL-3

Walls are dried and protected against rising damp by injection of CAPILASIL (aqueous or solvent phase), which forms a hydrophobic barrier at the bottom of the walls CAPILASIL is applied by means of an injection pump and according to a specific protocol. There is also a product suitable for use in old farm buildings whose walls contain nitrates (between 4 and 8%). The product consumption is 1.5 to 2 litres per running meter and per 10 cm of wall thickness. E.g.: the consumption for a wall of 5 m long and 20 cm thick will range from 15 to 20 L.

CAPILASIL-6

Surface moisture CAPILASIL, used to make a surface water-repellent, is easy to apply by pouring or brushing, working upwards from the bottom. The BEAL technical team recommends in most cases a 2-layered “fresh on fresh” application for optimal product penetration. The next coat pushes the previous one more deeply into the support. It is this depth of penetration that ensures the longevity of the treatment. Product consumption: 1 L/1-3 m² of masonry (terracotta bricks) and 1 L/3-6 m² of concre

CAPILASIL-7

MANY ADVANTAGES Avoids efflorescence as much as possible. Protects outside walls from driving rain. Reduces moss and mould growth. Prevents damage due to frost and therefore cracks in the support. Materials continue to breathe. Prevents condensation due to the presence of moisture in the materials. Reduces the heat consumption because dry materials have better thermal insulation properties than wet ones.  Façades remain clean for longer. Dust and dirt can no longer penetrate and will be washed off by the first rain shower.        CAPILASIL formulations vary depending on the nature and...
