Approche de solution
RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Formulation Workflow
1
System & Substrate Assessment
Define the binder system (waterborne, solventborne, UV, powder), substrate, cure, and the VOC, durability, and appearance targets.
2
Additive & Resin Selection
Match resins, pigments and fillers, dispersants, rheology modifiers, defoamers, or biocides to the formulation and compatibility window.
3
Lab Let-Down & Optimization
Dial in loading and addition order through lab let-downs, checking dispersion, rheology, film properties, and storage stability.
4
Application & Performance Testing
Validate on the real application method and substrate, tracking gloss, adhesion, sag, cure, and weathering before scale-up.
Recommended Chemistries (3)
Méthyltriméthoxysilane
CAS 1185-55-3
Silanes et Organosilanes
Primary construction water repellent silane
Small alkylsilane penetrates the pore network, hydrolyzes and bonds to silicate substrate, leaving outward-facing methyl groups that repel water

Methyltriethoxysilane
CAS 2031-67-6
Silanes et Organosilanes
Ethoxy methyl silane — slower cure
Slower-hydrolyzing ethoxy analog gives deeper penetration before cure, anchoring a durable hydrophobic layer in concrete/masonry
Vapor Pressure: 11.0
