ELASTOTET SILIPROOF is an invisible silicone water repellent for stone, brick and concrete walls, made in Greece and supplied in Lebanon by Rousse. It soaks deep into the pores of the surface without forming a film, so water beads off and rain no longer soaks into the wall, while the stone keeps its natural look and can still breathe.
Available in two versions: Clear (solvent-based silicone solution, SILIPROOF 4 L and 17 L) and Matt (SILIPROOF-W: water-based lithium-silica solution, 1 L, 4 L and 20 L).
Where to use it
- Natural stone façades, limestone and marble cladding
- Exposed (fair-faced) concrete, unpainted plaster and fibre cement
- Decorative brick and roof tiles
- Tile joints, to stop water getting in
- As a breathable primer before emulsion or silicone paints
Not for wet surfaces or non-porous materials such as glazed tiles.
How to apply
- Surface must be clean, dry and free of oil and dust.
- Apply by roller, brush or low-pressure spray in two coats, applying the second coat while the first is still wet (“wet on wet”).
- Apply between +5 and +40 °C, not before rain.

FAQ
Will SILIPROOF change the colour of my stone?
No. It penetrates the pores without leaving a film, so the appearance of the stone, brick or concrete does not change.
How long does it last?
Its water repellency lasts several years; reapply when water stops beading on the surface.
Clear or Matt (W)?
The clear solvent-based version penetrates deepest and suits dense stone and concrete. The water-based W version has low odour and is easier to use indoors and near people.
Does it waterproof a roof?
No. SILIPROOF is for walls and vertical porous surfaces. For roofs use LASTOFLEX PU or LASTOFLEX ST.
What do people call it in Lebanon?
Usually water seal, mane3 nesh lal 7ajar (anti-seepage for stone) or 3azel shaffef (clear waterproofing); in Arabic واتر سيل or مانع نش للحجر.
