| Product Description: This product is a clear, breathable, ultra-low-VOC treatment for concrete, brick, concrete masonry units, tiles, EFIS, pavers, natural stone, paint and other rebuilding materials. Protectosil AQUA-TRETE SG is a multifunctional system that provides superior water and stain resistance and also performas as a sacrificial antigraffi coating. The primary function of Protectosil AQUA-TRETE SG is to repel water-and oil based materials that cause staining, therby 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 makers, ink bituminuous paints, and other water-or solvent-born 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 sully breathable and eliminating problems cause by entrapped moisture, including blushing and freeze-thawdamage to the substrate. Applications: All mineral building materials, both interior and exterior, can be treated to prevent staining due to waterborne and oil-based substances. For use on concrete buildings, to mitigate silicate rundown onto windows. For use with EFIS, to reduce water absorption and help keep material cleaner. For use in areas where food courts, pedestrian malls, sports arenas and restaurants. For use on buildings, walls, sound barriers, piers, columns, bridges or other areas where unwanted graffiti generally appears Other substrates that can be protected include sandstone, terra-cotta, hand-molded bricks, pressed cementitious tiles, ceramic, lime-stone, marble, granite other natural stones and various types of pavers including but not limited to concrete, clay brick tumbled and Wausau. Advantages: The proprietary mixture of a special oleophobic material and bonding agents in Protectosil AQUA-TRETE SG creates an area of extremely low surface tension on a variety of substrates. This effect renders the surface resistant to the absorption of water-based and oil-based contaminants. Protectosil AQUA-TRETE SG not only provides stain resistance against oil-based materials, but also makes it easier to use conventional cleaners to clean up spills. This ability to repel oils yet still allow the use of conventional cleaners (as apposed to hard solvent-chemical cleaners) is unique advantage of Protectosil AQUA-TRETE SG. The sacrificial antigraffiti properties of Protectosil AQUA-TRETE SG provides a clean, nearly invisible barrier against the most common graffiti products. If necessary, additional Protectosil AQUA-TRETE SG can be applied to only the affected area, without visible difference on the substrate. By incorporating Protecosil AQUA-TRETE SG into your integrated design, you can earn vital Leadership Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) credits for both new and existing construction projects. The main benefits of the product are: - Excellent resistance to food products
- Reduction of staining due to atmospheric pollutants
- No wetting out of substrate
- Reduced mineral rundown onto windows
- Breathable system
- Easy removal of graffiti
- No blushing, peeling or yellowing
- Resistance to alkali attack
- Ultra Low VOC
- Keeps substrate cleaner
