High-Performance Water Repellent Treatment for Masonry & Mineral Surfaces
Biokil Crown Speedsil 2000 is a ready-to-use, solvent-based water repellent designed to protect brickwork, stone, concrete, and other porous mineral substrates from penetrating damp. Forming an invisible barrier without altering surface appearance, it significantly reduces water absorption, helping to prevent frost damage, salt efflorescence, and the growth of moss, algae, and lichens. Ideal for weatherproofing facades, boundary walls, and other exposed masonry.
