Penetrating Sealers

Developed, tested and used over the past three decades, Tech-Dry's new generation of UV resistant penetrating sealers use nano-technology enabling deep penetration while withstanding todays commercial cleaning techniques.

Tech-Dry's range of penetrating sealers offer superior durability compared to a typical surface-only coating.

Tech-Dry Penetrating Sealers include:

• Protectaseal (for water & oil stain protection)
• Protectacrete (for water repellency and water-borne stain protection)
• Tile & Grout Sealer (high penetration water repellency, ideal for balconies & bathrooms)
• Limestone Emulsion (designed for protection of limestone)

Tech-Dry's penetrating sealers are able to protect masonry materials from many serious problems. Water is the main cause of deterioration of masonry building materials. Some problems that can arise due to water penetration are:

• Salt attack
• Spalling
• Dampness through shower or bathroom walls
• Efflorescence on external walls
• Picture framing
• Stains
• Fungi or algae growth
• Concrete corrosion
• Freeze-thaw damage
• Loss of thermal insulation

The ideal method to stop water penetration into masonry while still allowing water vapour transfer is to treat the wall with Tech-Dry's new generation of penetrating sealers. Tech-Dry's water repellent sealers can penetrate the masonry capillaries, forming a water repellent barrier a few millimetres deep near the surface. This will stop water penetration without blocking the capillaries.

Tech-Dry water and oil repellent sealers will not change the surface appearance. The water and oil repellent permanently bonds to the masonry via chemical bonding resulting in a durable water and oil repellent barrier within the masonry itself.
