PARAGUARD is a water based coating, which provides a weatherproof, lotus leaf effect, water resistant surface to a range of render, paving, masonry and timber substrates. Subject to the type of substrate applied to, the product offers resistance to the following; water, dirt, oil, grease, atmospheric pollutants and vehicle fumes. The product is non-sacrificial, so once cleaned, will not need to be re-coated. Aesthetically, the exterior remains cleaner as dirt merely runs off the surface whenever water hits the facade. PARAGUARD finish is specially formulated with exceptional hydrophobic properties. Buildings specified with PARAGUARD finish are cleaned time and time again with natural rain water. As water hits the surface, it simply beads off the exterior and takes any dirt, grime or soil in its path with it. The hydrophobic qualities also make the surface more resistant to mould, algae and mild. Suitable Substrate Sika PARAGUARD is ideal for horizontal and vertical surfaces on new construction, retrofit and refinish projects, over Parex External Insulation Facades, render, masonry, timber or concrete substrates. Coverage This information is provided as guidance only, excludes wastage and will vary subject to the application and substrate. Due to surface density, some masonry and render substrates and other high absorption substrates may have higher consumption rates.
