ZycoSil+
Organosilane Based Reactive Waterproofing Technology
Penetrative • Reactive • Permanent
ZycoSil+ is a revolutionary organosilane-based waterproofing agent designed for in-depth protection of civil structures. Unlike traditional waterproofing solutions that form a superficial barrier, ZycoSil+ penetrates deep into the substrate—up to 2 mm—forming a chemical bond with the structure. By altering the substrate from hydrophilic to hydrophobic, ZycoSil+ provides long-lasting, peel-resistant waterproofing that stands up to the test of time.
With ZycoSil+, you get a solution that doesn’t just cover your walls—it becomes an integral part of the structure, preventing water ingress and enhancing the longevity of your building.

Key Benefits
- Penetrative and Permanent Protection
Converts the surface chemistry of the substrate, ensuring water resistance up to 2 mm deep. - Durable and UV-Resistant
Unlike polymer coatings, it won’t peel or crack, providing UV stability for the long term. - Breathable Barrier
Allows moisture vapours to escape while blocking liquid water, keeping the surface dry. - Easy to Apply
Water-dilutable, sprayable, and easy to handle for effortless application. - Anti-Fungal and Algae Protection
Inhibits fungal growth, preserving the aesthetic quality and strength of the substrate. - Versatile Usage
Suitable for both vertical and horizontal surfaces, ensuring consistent protection throughout.
Mechanism of Action
ZycoSil+ penetrates up to approximately 2 mm into the substrate and converts the siliceous surface rich with hydrophilic silanol groups to hydrophobic alkyl siloxane groups as per the reaction below:
Complete drying is critical to complete the reaction and achieve water resistance. Surface tension of the hydrophobic surface created by ZycoSil+ will ensure that water remains on the surface & does not enter into the nano pores of cementitious surface due to surface tension effects
Application Guidelines
Substrate Preparation
1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants like dust, grease, or old paint.
2. If there are internal voids (honeycombs), drill and inject diluted ZycoSil+ solution and allow to dry. Inject a suitable grout to fill and close the hole.
3. Widen cracks greater than 1mm if required.
4. Fill all cracks using an appropriate crack filler AFTER they have been treated with ZycoSil+ solution as per below instructions.
Dilution
Mix ZycoSil+ with potable water (1 part ZycoSil+ to 20 parts water). Add 2 parts of ZycoPrime+ to this solution and mix. The diluted ZycoSil+ solution is now ready to use.
Application
- Horizontal Surfaces: Spray the diluted ZycoSil+ solution until flood saturation.
- Vertical Surfaces: Apply the diluted ZycoSil+ solution from bottom to top to avoid drip marks, ensuring full saturation through multiple light sprays.
Allow the Zycosil+ solution to DRY COMPLETELY before proceeding.
Conditions
Best applied at temperatures between 10°C to 35°C during morning or evening hours.
Coverage
| Surface Type | Coverage per Liter (Diluted Solution) |
|---|---|
| Horizontal | 24-40 m² (260-430 ft²) |
| Vertical | 60-100 m² (645-1075 ft²) |
Note: Actual coverage may vary based on substrate characteristics.
Packaging and Storage
- Available in 100 ml, 250 ml, 1 L, 5 L, and 20 L containers.
- Store between +5°C and +45°C in a shaded area.
- Shelf Life: Up to 4 years if stored as recommended.
