Protectosil® AQUA-TRETE® SG

This product is a clear, breathable, zero-VOC treatment for concrete, brick, concrete masonry units, tiles, EFIS, pavers, natural stone, paint and other building materials. Protectosil^® AQUA-TRETE^® SG is a multifunctional system that provides superior water and stain resistance and also performs as a sacrificial antigraffiti coating. The primary function of Protectosil^® AQUA-TRETE^® SG is to repel water- and oilbased materials that cause staining, thereby making cleaning easier. The unique multifunctional chemistry makes the Protectosil^® AQUA-TRETE^® SG inherently UV stable. This feature allows longer surface repellency than is offered by competing technologies. Protectosil^® AQUA-TRETE^® SG decreases such problems as dirt buildup, staining and graffiti tagging.

The sacrificial antigraffiti properties protect surfaces from different types of graffiti, including spray paint, permanent markers, ink, bituminous paints, and otherwater- or solventborne paints. By reducing the ingress of contaminants and graffiti, Protectosil^® AQUA-TRETE^® SG prevents any adverse change in the surface appearance of the substrate. The natural moisture vapor transmission remains unaffected, leaving treated surfaces fully breathable and eliminating problems caused by entrapped moisture, including blushing and freeze-thaw damage to the substrate.
