"WEATHER-GUARD"
DESCRIPTION:
WEATHER-GUARD is a siloxane penetrating sealer designed specifically for the treatment of masonry materials and concrete surfaces. WEATHER-GUARD protects concrete and masonry surfaces from the effects of exterior exposure and weathering. WEATHER-GUARD penetrates deep into the surface pores and reacts chemically to provide a durable, long lasting barrier against water and salt intrusion. This level of protection can substantially reduce the damaging effects of freeze/thaw cycling, precipitation, acid rain, efflorescence, and dust/dirt degradation.
PRIMARY APPLICATIONS:
- Concrete and masonry block
- Natural stone
- Brick facings & Clay Bricks
- Precast concrete
- Exposed aggregate
- Architectural concrete
FEATURES/BENEFITS :
- Deep penetrating pore action for long lasting protection
- Preserves a natural appearance without membrane build-up
- Provides a highly efficient barrier to water and salt ingress
- Allows concrete and masonry surfaces to maintain breathability while providing high water repellency characteristics
- Easy to use requiring only low pressure spraying equipment
- Economical due its durability over many years

APPLICATION:
Surface Preparation: The surface to be treated must be dry, clean, structurally sound, free from oil, grease, wax, polish, laitance, dust, and other barrier materials. All cracks, construction joints, pipe penetration, bore packing and corners shall be treated prior to application of waterproofing membrane.
Priming Apply:
Weather Guard Siloxane WR on the prepared substrate to seal off porosity and improve the substrate and allow drying for approx. 60 minutes. Stir WG Siloxane WR on manually before application using a brush, roller, or spray, applies WG Siloxane WR on the primed surface. While the coat is still wet, sealing tape should be placed on all corners, floor/wall junctions, pipe penetrations and other critical areas ensuring no air is entrapped and allow to dry. Apply 2nd coat of WG Siloxane WR on the entire surface and allow it to cure for 4 hours before laying the screed/protection plaster/tiling.
PRECAUTIONS:
Keep out of reach of children. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, and eyes/face protection. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of clean water. In case of contact with eyes rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice.
