ProtectGuard®

ProtectGuard® – Natural Look Sealer

ProtectGuard® is a natural look sealer that delivers outstanding protection to all types of porous materials. It is an eco, water based stone sealer that repels water, oils, stains and even graffiti. It comes with a 10 year guarantee and has been proven effective for over 20 years in some cases. It is currently protecting iconic structures all over the world such as Bernini’s Columns at St Peters Square at the Vatican, and the Louvre in Paris. ProtectGuard is the stone protection product of choice.

ProtectGuard® helps tackle the deterioration caused by smog, greasy stains, and penetration of liquids.  Treated surfaces will benefit from an increased life-span and will be easier to clean.  Due to it’s high water repellency and vapour breathability, it keeps porous materials dry. This stops mould and mildew growth. And will be difficult for lichens and moss to become established. Your materials will stay healthy and clean.

ProtectGuard® works by stopping stains from soaking into the substrate. It repels all kinds of liquids keeping them above the surface. They can then be easily cleaned off. Surfaces are much easier to keep clean when they are protected with this stone sealer. It even stops chewing gum from sticking to the surface, and allows for easy, residue free removal. 

ProtectGuard® is also an anti graffiti coating! It stops paint and ink from soaking into the pores of the material. It can then easily be removed from the surface with Guard Remover Graffiti 2030. Guard Industry have developed this safe eco cleaner specifically for use with ProtectGuard®. It will safely remove the graffiti without damaging the ProtectGuard. The seal remains intact for ongoing protection. This is a very safe and effective means of controlling and managing graffiti. No other natural look sealer that can do that! Except perhaps, ProtectGuard HD. 

ProtectGuard® is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It is designed for use on all types of porous building materials. Use with confidence on:

• concrete
• cement
• plasters
• natural and synthetic stone
• terracotta
• paving and more…

Looking For Something Else? 
There is a Protect Guard® Sealer for Every Application

ProtectGuard® stone sealer is designed for use on high to medium porosity materials. It is ideal for materials like: concrete, plaster, terracotta and limestone. But if this isn’t what you are after, don’t despair! There is a Protect Guard Sealer to suit every application.

For high traffic applications consider ProtectGuard® HD. For very dense materials check out ProtectGuard® MG Eco. Its also food contact compliant! Or if you are after colour enhancement check out ProtectGuard® WF Premium wet look sealer.

A water droplet test is a handy way to check the porosity of your material. This is a good place to start when deciding which ProtectGuard® sealer is right for your application. Simply put a drop of water on the surface you want to seal. Time how long it takes for the droplet to soak in. Then check it against our selection chart.
