Protectosil AQUA-TRETE SG

This product is a clear, breathable, zero-VOC treatment for concrete, brick, concrete masonry units, tiles, EFIS, pavers, natural stone, and other building materials. Protectosil® AQUA-TRETE® SG is a multifunctional system that provides superior water and stain resistance and also performs as a sacrificial anti-graffiti coating. The primary function of Protectosil® AQUA-TRETE® SG is to repel water and oil-based materials that cause staining, thereby making cleaning easier. The unique multifunctional chemistry makes the Protectosil® AQUA-TRETE® SG inherently UV stable. This feature allows longer surface repellency than is offered by competing technologies. Protectosil® AQUA-TRETE® SG decreases such problems as dirt buildup, staining, and graffiti tagging.

Ultra-Low VOC Sacrificial Antigraffiti and Stain-Resistant Surface Treatment for Mineral Substrates

Product Description

Protectosil® AQUA-TRETE® SG is a clear, breathable, ultra-low VOC treatment that protects concrete, brick, tile, EFIS, pavers, and natural stone. It functions as a superior stain repellent and sacrificial antigraffiti barrier. The oleophobic and hydrophobic chemistry repels oil- and water-based materials, minimizing surface discoloration and simplifying cleanup. It reduces blushing, UV degradation, and freeze-thaw damage while preserving breathability.

Typical Applications

  • Concrete, tile, EFIS, pavers, and natural stone
  • Sound barriers, restaurants, pedestrian malls, food courts
  • Bridges, piers, stadiums, parking decks
  • Pressed cementitious tiles, ceramic, limestone, granite
  • Tumbled and Wausau pavers
  • Unwanted graffiti-prone exterior and interior walls
