Evonik Protectosil Aqua-Trete SG is a clear, breathable, almost VOC-free 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 offered by competing technologies. Protectosil AQUA-TRETE SG decreases these problems such 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 other water- or solvent-borne 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.
