HYDRO GUARD

THE ARMUS COMBO OF HYDRO GUARD AND PURE GUARD PROTECTS HISTORIC LIMESTONE!

Built in 1953, the Bulova Corporate Center is a historic Art Deco office building located near La Guardia Airport in Queens, New York.

Bulova Corporate Center’s proximity to the La Guardia runway makes the façade susceptible to stains from jet fuel stains from planes landing and taking off. The humidity of New York also creates an ideal environment for the growth of moss an algae on the building.

Professional care is taken in the cleaning and restoration of its façade, as the historic limestone is a delicate substrate. Without professional cleaning, the façade can be damaged by chemicals or cleaning with incorrect water pressure.

The worst corner of the limestone façade was professionally power washed and cleaned and Pure Guard was applied using an HVLP sprayer directly onto the limestone façade.

11 MONTHS POST-APPLICATION

UNTREATED

Pure Guard is simple to apply to most surface types, but proper surface preparation is highly recommended.

At Bulova, proper surface prep was important to prepare the façade for Pure Guard application.

Limestone is a soft substrate, and a professional team was brought in to power wash the building a day prior to application.

Before application, always ensure that the surface is clean and dry. For higher, hard-to-reach surfaces, we recommend bringing in a professional. The photos here show a repel team using an HVLP sprayer to apply Pure Guard.

Sprayers are recommended for their even flow and their consistent coverage. After application, Pure Guard starts to work as soon as the surface is dry!

How does Pure Guard clean surfaces and clean surrounding air?

Pure Guard acts by absorbing and using surrounding light to self-clean porous surfaces to which it is applied. It absorbs surrounding ultraviolet light and transforms it into chemical energy.

The chemical reaction not only decomposes organic pollutants and stains when applied on porous surfaces, but in this process, creates O₃ oxygen molecules as a byproduct.

Pure Guard works to continuously clean surfaces, and it also improves the surrounding air quality in the process. Every 300 sq ft of Pure Guard-treated surface has the same air-cleaning power as 1 adult tree!
