Loxon Water Repellants - Introducing The Best Waterproofers You'll Never See

From Wind-Driven Rain to Chloride Attacks, Sherwin-Williams Protects Masonry and Concrete

CLEVELAND (March 12, 2007) - When chloride attacks and wind-driven rain threatens to compromise a masonry or concrete structure, it's the coating that needs to stand up to the elements. Sherwin-Williams is expanding its Loxon line to include Loxon 40% Silane Water Repellant and Loxon Siloxane Water Repellant. Assuring a transparent, no sheen finish, Loxon Water Repellents penetrate masonry and concrete providing maximum protection while maintaining a natural, uncoated look.

Whether the job calls for complete water protection, a green formulation or a lower priced solution, Loxon Water Repellants will perform to the specification. Loxon 40% Silane Water Repellant is a premium coating that offers complete water protection by penetrating concrete to seal out moisture and chloride. However, if budget and environmental impact are of concern, Loxon Siloxane Water Repellent emits zero VOCs and far exceeds expectations for water and chloride repellency at a lower price point.

Loxon Water Repellants meet ASTM standards for water repellency and are ideal for large commercial masonry and concrete structures. Because Loxon Water Repellants produce no film and will not mar glass or flashing, prep and clean up time is minimal. Both products are sold at Sherwin-Williams stores across North America.
