DecorGuard

Anionic hydrophobic treatment to induce water and pollution repellence in dried
emulsion paints, ceramics and concrete.

DecorGuard is ready to use as supplied. It is a dispersion in water of a mixture of silanes and siloxanes, specially formulated to treat coatings on walls, facades, and dried
emulsion paints. The formulation also succeeds with porous brick or concrete, but the solvent carried version is better absorbed when treating rising damp.

DecorGuard, being an emulsion, is environment sensitive and easily cleaned from spray containers, brushes or spillage. DecorGuard, is not membrane forming, it works by neutralising cations on surfaces leaving only negatively charged molecules which repel water. DecorGuard, does not degrade from heat and ultraviolet rays from the sun.

DecorGuard, prevents adhesion of pollution, such as mud splashes, air carried particulates and run down of smokey dust in rain. DecorGuard, stops water reaching embedded bolts, nails or iron reinforcement and therefore arrests corrosion.

DecorGuard, may be applied and re-applied on any clean surface and will not change nor induce a gloss. DecorGuard, makes concrete surfaces non-slip with rubber shoes or tyres when used on floors, showers, parking decks and the like.

Applications:

DecorGuard protects, waterproofs and increases service life of:

• Emulsion painted walls
• Concrete roof tiles
• Ceramic tiles around pools
• Terracotta tiles on patios or the like

Yield:

Only by trial can application rates be established. Each surface should be allowed to suck in as much DecorGuard as it will absorb. However as a guide, on “good paint” you will treat 20m² with one litre. Very absorbent bricks may only allow 5 to 10m² per litre to be treated.

Skill Level Required: 1/5
