PROTECTS SURFACES FROM WATER INGRESS & DAMAGE
-
RETAINS SURFACE APPEARANCE
Hydro Guard does not darken, or add a sheen or to surface materials post-application. Your treated surface will retain its original appearance.
-
PROTECTS AGAINST FREEZE/THAW DAMAGE
By preventing water ingress, using Hydro Guard can protect building facades and horizontal hardscapes from the seasonal damage of freeze/thaw cycles.
-
PREVENTS ORGANIC MOLD AND GROWTH
A water-repellent barrier on porous surfaces means mold and organic growth cannot develop and take hold of the substrate. Keep surfaces cleaner!
-
PROTECTS MORTAR JOINTS
Hydro Guard not only protects masonry, stone, and concrete, but also protects mortar! Just spray to the point of rejection to create a water-repellent barrier!
-
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.
-
MAINTAINS SURFACE “BREATHABILITY”
Hydro Guard will not seal substrate pores. If there is water or leakage present behind the treated surface, water can evaporate, preventing swelling, cracking, and organic growth.

Limestone
-
Concrete

OVERVIEW
Hydro Guard is a water-borne formulation that imparts water-repellency to protect a wide range of building surfaces. It penetrates deeply into capillaries that polymer solutions cannot reach.
Unlike conventional coating formulations, Hydro Guard does not create a film on the surface. Instead, it creates a water-repelling near-surface zone without sealing substrate pores. If there is leakage behind the Hydro Guard-modified zone, water can
evaporate through those open pores, permitting drying and preventing swelling and cracking.Exteriors treated with Hydro Guard are resistant to UV radiation and are thus non-yellowing. They exhibit long-term durability.
