Potassium methylsiliconate, chemically formulated as KMMS, is a versatile compound known for its ability to react with atmospheric carbon dioxide and other acidic agents. This reaction leads to the formation of a durable, insoluble networked film on various substrates. The resultant film exhibits exceptional properties such as waterproofing, moisture resistance, and resistance to aging and pollution. It is widely utilized in construction and building materials for its efficacy in enhancing material durability and longevity.
KMMS offers several distinct characteristics that make it suitable for diverse applications. It is renowned for its simplicity in application, low cost-effectiveness, and long-lasting performance. The compound demonstrates robustness against abrasion, scrubbing, and a wide temperature range (-50 to 150°C), making it suitable for both interior and exterior treatments.

* Typical values (not warranted values)
Potassium methylsiliconate finds extensive applications in the treatment of porous materials such as stone, bricks, ceramics, cement mortar, perlite, gypsum, and fiber gypsum boards. By penetrating the substrate, it forms a hydrophobic barrier that reduces water absorption while preserving the natural color, breathability, and aesthetic qualities of the treated materials. This makes it indispensable in preserving and enhancing the structural integrity of buildings and monuments exposed to varying environmental conditions.
