ProtectGuard

ProtectGuard is your water-repellent, oil-repellent, anti-staining and anti-graffiti. Total protection for all porous building substrates.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ProtectGuard® is the leading product for all-round protection for all porous building materials. This one product delivers water and oil repellent protection and anti-graffiti protection for porous building materials.

ProtectGuard® helps tackle the deterioration caused by atmospheric pollution, grease-type staining, penetration of liquids and graffiti. A surface treated with ProtectGuard® will benefit from an increased life-span and will be easier to maintain.

ProtectGuard® is a non-film-forming impregnation product that leaves the treated surface permeable to air and water vapour.

ProtectGuard® is completely colourless after application and does not change the appearance or the composition of the treated surface. It is also UV-resistant and does not discolour with age.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

ProtectGuard® may be used indoors or outside on walls, floors and roofing. It is designed to protect all porous building materials such as natural and synthetic stone, concrete, terracotta, cement, inter-locking paving… On low porous materials, use ProtectGuard® HD or ProtectGuard® MG Eco. ProtectGuard® is used for new and renovated constructions.
