AQUA TRETE CONCENTRATE Water-Based Silane Protection
Protectosil® AQUA-TRETE CONCENTRATE is a high-performance, breathable water repellent engineered for use on brick masonry, concrete units, and select natural stones. This alkyltrialkoxysilane formulation is water-soluble, delivering superior performance without the use of alcohol-based solvents.
