Uses

Water-repellent of alkaline character that avoids the penetration of water and the damages caused by humidity, efflorescence and moss.
The product is totally colourless and it does not modify the aspect of the surface, throw off the water without obstructing the natural material exudation. It resists chemical aggressions and as it is a watery solution it is easy to apply on supports lightly wet. PROTECTOR F does not create a film, like other products, and it acts by capillarity or impregnation, so it does not show alterations on the treated surface.
Improves the performance of the plastic paints or acrylics.

Surface preparation

The surface must be dry and without dust. The efflorescence must be removed before the application of PROTECTOR F. Do not use the product with temperatures below 5ºC. PROTECT ANODIZED ALUMINIUM.

Instructions for use

Its appropriate to waterproof all kind of materials used in the building industry, as long as the surfaces to treat are not fissured or cracked, appropriate to waterproof and water-repellent the concrete, mortars, natural stones or artificial, wall-up, bricks, fibrocement, tiles and any other porous materials.

Consumption

Depending on the absorbency and the roughness of the surface and the way to apply the product, 1 litre PROTECTOR F will cover from 3 to 5 m². To find the exact consumption it is useful to do a previous test on the surface to treat.

Absorption tests on different supports:

Application on bricks without a coat:
4m²/litre.
Application on concrete:3m²/litre.
Application on mortar:3m²/litre.
Application on natural stone:2.5m²/litre.
Application on fibrocement:5m²/litre.
Application on artificial stone:2m²/litre.
