Due to their permeable surfaces, masonry building materials can be easily stained by oil, grease, food and dirt, resulting in permanent staining. Coloured masonry paving, such as light-coloured concrete and natural stone pavers, have become more and more popular for outdoor living areas and are easily stained by a variety of staining materials. Tech-Dry stain-proof sealers can be used on a number of surfaces, such as coloured concrete masonry, natural stone, polished masonry and other masonry substrates. TECH-DRY PROTECTASEAL S is a general-purpose solvent-based stain-resistant sealer for masonry materials. The product is designed to penetrate into the masonry surfaces and render the substrate oil and water-repellent. It provides good stain resistance against the majority of staining materials, including oil, juice, coffee, wine and food. PROTECTASEAL-S is recommended as a stain-resistant sealer for permeable building materials such as natural stones, concrete pavers, clay bricks, and terracotta tiles. It can also be used for dense or polished substrates depending on substrates. The treatment will not significantly change the appearance and vapour permeability of the masonry. However, a slight darkening of the surface may occur for some substrates. Features: Penetrates into masonry substrate surfaces. Hard-wearing and durable formulation. Excellent oil/water-repellent and stain-resistant properties. Does not significantly change the appearance and vapour permeability. Contains mainly user-friendly alcoholic solvents.
