- Product Highlights
Even inorganic materials such as stone and masonry are susceptible to water absorption which (especially in colder climates) can cause extensive freeze/thaw damage. Sansin Aqua-Gard is a water-repellant coating engineered to protect new and existing above-ground concrete and masonry from weather damage. Aqua-Gard bonds with inorganic substrates to create a protective barrier that prevents water absorption and resists contaminants. Unlike paint, it won’t peel since it penetrates the substrate to protect from within.

- Applications
- Brick and stucco walls
- Concrete block buildings
- Concrete structures, roof tiles
- Concrete slabs and sills etc.
- Preparation
- Test Area: Pretest a hidden area.
- Check if surface has been pretreated.
- Appearance of a white residue after drying indicates a pretreated surface.
Working Procedure
- Apply by sprayer, brush or roller
- Do not dilute
- Do not apply in heat of day or direct sunlight
- One coat application
- Can be applied at any temperature above freezing (ideal temperature between 15-20˚C)
- Clean surface before application
- Reduces efflorescence, splitting and cracking
- Protects reinforcing steel from corrosion
- Reduces dusting
- Breathable
- Keeps the substrate cleaner
- Apply liberally until the surface is saturated, do not allow to puddle.
- Do not spill on aluminum windows etc.
- Allow 28 days for new concrete to cure before treatment.
- Coverage
- Full saturation should be achieved.
- Will cover approximately 40-200 sq.ft. per gallon dependant on porosity of the substrate.
