SurfaPore C prevents moss, mould and efflorescence forming on Cement, Mortar, Stucco, Grout and Natural or Artificial stone surfaces. The formulation creates a water repelling protection by deeply penetrating into the pores of the substrates, instead of sealing as other conventional formulations and also not creating a "plastic film" on the applied surface. Therefore, the substrate is deeply protected and not affected by abrasion or mechanical wear. SurfaPore C modified surfaces last longer comparing to conventional film coatings and are more resistant to the "hard" part of solar light (UV radiation) which does not induce the "yellowing" effect. How It Works SurfaPore C is a water-based liquid that effectively waterproofs and protects a wide range of building surfaces. Its viscosity is similar to water so it deeply penetrates capillaries where common elastomeric or polymer-based sealers cannot reach. The nanoparticles in its composition assure effective, durable and prolonged functionality with little or no change to substrate/surface appearance. SurfaPore C is vapour permeable, or breathable. When moisture is trapped behind a treated surface it can evaporate, thus relieving negative capillary pressure which could otherwise degrade the substrate from within by causing swelling, cracking, and warping. Applications Cement walls Floors Retaining walls Concrete Blocks Concrete Pavers Natural Stone work Grout Mortar Anywhere cement products need to be protected from moisture and efflorescence. Benefits Water-based and non-toxic Environmentally friendly Prevents efflorescence Out performs siloxane/silane and acrylics Does not affect colour or texture Can be used as a water proofing primer Will not interfere with paints, plasters or adhesives Easy, one step application with water clean-up How to Apply - Surface Application The application surface should be dry and clean. Apply by using a brush, roller or spraying. No dilution is required. On very absorptive surfaces re-apply within 3 hours. Mixing: Replace 1/3 of water used in your mix with SurfaPore C. Mix well. In any case (surface application or mixing) test results on a small area before full scale application. Maximum water resistance is achieved 24 hours after application Coverage Estimated coverage is 8-10 m2/L, strongly dependant on the properties of the surface applied.
