PROTECT TAO pearl
Film forming impregnation for the dry side of concrete production
Item No. 2642
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
PROTECT TAO pearl is a solvent-free, film forming impregnation for mineral surfaces and especially designed for application on exposed concrete, precast, paving stones and slabs, as well as concrete facades.
PROTECT TAO pearl is a colour intensifier, creating a satin surface finish. Thereby the impregnation allows the formation of an excellent water- and oil repellent effect. Concrete's dirt rejection is significantly improved and the occurrence of stains caused by oil, fat, environmental influences, food and beverages are minimised. Having an excellent water repellent effect, PROTECT TAO pearl reduces effloresces and frost damages.
PROTECT TAO pearl is suitable for all mechanically processed or finished concrete surfaces (such as grinded, polished, washed, blasted and kernelled surfaces) and is applied on hardened concrete / on the dry side of concrete production.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
PROTECT TAO pearl penetrates concrete's capillary system and coats it. In doing so, the impregnation forms a protective finishing - known as lotus effect - which drips of liquids and the therein solved particles and stop them from entering into the concrete.
PROTECT TAO pearl is a sustainable protection which reduces staining, efflorescence and frost damages and enhances concretes durability significantly.
PROTECT TAO pearl is not yellowing, weatherproof (UV-stable), permeable to water vapour and resistant against chemical loads.
DOSAGE | APPLICATION QUANTITY
Depending on the surface structure and its absorbing abilities the necessary amount might vary between 100 – 200 g/m² and has to be determined for each individual application.
