Influence of Silicone Pretreatment and Wetting of Brick on Moisture Penetration of Brick Masonry
High-absorption brick were treated with a water-soluble silicone before they were combined with mortar into brick masonry. The resistance of the masonry to moisture penetration was much improved compared with that in which untreated brick or brick soaked in water had been used. The silicone pretreatment in some cases increased, in others decreased, the strength of bond in direct tension between brick and mortar compared with that obtained from the brick used dry. Outdoor exposure of brick-work samples demonstrated that silicone pretreatment of bricks resulted in cleaner-appearing brick masonry. (Author)
