PREVENT ORGANIC MOLD & GROWTH

Applying Hydro Guard creates a water-repellent barrier on treated surfaces. Without water, mold and organic growth cannot develop and take hold of the substrate.

UV RESISTANCE PREVENTS YELLOWING

Hydro Guard’s is a non-toxic and water-borne formulation and is resistant to UV radiation, thus preventing surfaces from yellowing over time.

WHY YOU NEED IT

RETAINS SURFACE APPEARANCE

Hydro Guard does not add a sheen or gloss post-application. Your treated surface will retain its natural color and low gloss.

MAINTAINS BREATHABILITY

Unlike traditional sealants or coatings, Hydro Guard creates a water-repelling near-surface zone without sealing substrate pores. If there is water or leakage behind the Hydro Guard-treated surface, water can evaporate through those open pores, permitting drying and preventing swelling and cracking.

EASY TO APPLY

After applying Hydro Guard, it starts working 24 hours after its dry! Protection comes from the inside out, making your surfaces water-resistant! Protect your horizontal and vertical surfaces from water ingress and water damage! If your site is located in an area with weather, protect surfaces from the damage of a freeze/ thaw cycle!

RESISTANT TO UV RADIATION 

Hydro Guard’s is a non-toxic and water-borne formulation and is resistant to UV radiation, thus preventing surfaces from yellowing over time.

Surface prep

NOTE: ON NEW BUILDING SURFACES AND INSTALLED REPAIR MATERIALS, ENSURE SUBSTRATE IS FULLY CURED PRIOR TO APPLICATION.

  1. Wear protective gloves & gear before applying.
  2. Protect vehicles, and surrounding surfaces not set for treatment.
  3. Thoroughly clean surface using appropriate product and methods.
  4. Ensure surface is completely dry.

DO NOT DILUTE PRODUCT. SHAKE CONTAINER WELL BEFORE USE. LOAD PUMP SPRAYER OR PAINT TRAY AFTER MIXING WELL. 

Application conditions

Surface and air temperatures must be at least 41°F (5°C) during application and for 8 hours following and should not exceed 95°F (35°C). Do not apply by sprayer in windy conditions to prevent loss.

VERTICAL APPLICATION

Apply Hydro Guard to the point of rejection using a brush, roller, or airless sprayer. No dilution is required. On very absorptive surfaces, re-apply within 3 hours to increase penetration depth. Testing is recommended on a small inconspicuous area before full-scale application. Surface water-repellency is typically achieved 24 hours after application.

BY SPRAYING

Saturate from bottom up. Apply enough for a 4-8in rundown below the spray contact point. Let first application penetrate for 5-10 min before applying second coat. NOTE: When spraying fluted architectural block, spray in an overlapping X-pattern. Wipe up any excess material using microfiber cloths.

BY BRUSH / ROLLER

Only for small scale applications. Apply uniformly and saturate the surface. Let product penetrate for 5-10 min. Brush out heavy runs and drips that do not penetrate.

HORIZONTAL APPLICATION

We recommend applying to horizontal surfaces using a sprayer. Apply in a single-saturating coat. Do not over-apply. Back roll out any puddles thoroughly until they penetrate the surface. Wipe up any excess material with a microfiber cloth.
