    DESCRIPTION
    DOWCORNING 1581 Water
    Repellent is an aqueous emulsion of
    polydimethyl siloxane. It has been
    developed to give hydrophobicity for
    glass and mineral wool.
    When applied on its own, this product
    imparts effective hydrophobicity
    using low levels of silicone
    concentration. It is effective at
    addition rates as low as 0.2% by
    weight of silicone in the total
    treatment solution. In addition, it
    retains these hydrophobing properties
    after processing at high temperatures.
    HOW TO USE
    If used in a resin system,
    DOWCORNING 1581 Water
    Repellent can be added 'as supplied'
    or prediluted in water. Although this
    emulsion has good bath stability with
    some phenolic resins it may be
    necessary to mix it with the resin
    immediately before coating the
    substrate.
    As a starting addition rate, it is
    recommended that 1 part
    DOWCORNING 1581 Water
    Repellent is added to 100 parts of
    treatment solution.
