Decorete Deco Guard SB – Solvent-Based Water Repellent for Concrete, Cement Fiberboard & Natural Stone

Professional Silicone-Based Water Repellent for Concrete, Cement Fiberboard & Natural Stone

Protect porous construction surfaces from water penetration with Decorete Deco Guard SB, a solvent-based water-repellent treatment formulated from a blend of silane, siloxane, and synthetic resins.

Deco Guard SB is designed to penetrate suitable porous surfaces and provide water-repellent protection while helping maintain the natural appearance of the treated substrate. Its penetrating formulation makes it suitable for a variety of mineral and cement-based surfaces, including concrete, cement fiberboard, and natural stone.

The product is particularly suitable for exterior and moisture-exposed applications where reducing water absorption and protecting porous surfaces from water penetration are important.

Why Choose Decorete Deco Guard SB?

Water penetration can contribute to staining, deterioration, and long-term damage to porous construction materials. Treating suitable surfaces with a water-repellent system can help reduce water absorption and improve their resistance to moisture exposure.

Decorete Deco Guard SB is formulated using a combination of silane, siloxane, and synthetic resins, providing a practical water-repellent treatment for porous substrates.

Its application by flooding allows the material to penetrate the surface until saturation is achieved. Several coats can be applied as required, with at least two applications generally recommended for suitable substrates.

Expert Advice

For optimum performance, the substrate should be properly prepared before applying Deco Guard SB.

Because coverage and absorption can vary significantly according to surface density and porosity, always conduct a small-area test when working on unfamiliar substrates. Dense concrete, highly porous stone, and cement fiberboard may require different quantities and application approaches.

For large-scale projects, application should be evaluated according to the substrate condition, porosity, environmental conditions, and required level of water repellency.

Special Precautions

• Keep away from heat and ignition sources.
• Wear suitable protective clothing during application.
• Protect adjacent surfaces from accidental contact.
• Ensure appropriate ventilation when applying the product.
• Follow applicable safety and technical instructions.
• Keep the product container properly closed when not in use.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment according to the application conditions.

Care & Storage

• Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
