ProtectGuard Color Heat Control Plant-Based Concrete Stain – Colours, Protects and Keeps Concrete Cooler

Concrete stain that colours, protects and helps keep concrete cooler while resisting water, oil and dirt. Easy maintenance with simple water cleaning. Plant-based formula.

ProtectGuard Color Heat Control Plant-Based Formula is a concrete colour stain that adds colour, protects against water and oil, and helps keep concrete cooler under the sun.

Its plant-based formula, made with ingredients from corn, beetroot and tree resin, offers a modern way to protect concrete using renewable raw materials while maintaining high performance.

Thanks to its heat control technology, the stain reflects part of the sun’s energy. This helps limit heat build-up on concrete exposed to strong sunlight, improving durability over time, especially on dark colours.

Unlike paint, it penetrates into concrete instead of covering it, keeping a natural mineral look while delivering protection against:

  • rain and water penetration
  • oil and grease stains (cars, BBQ, tools)
  • dirt, pollution and dark marks

Concrete stays cleaner for longer and becomes easier to maintain:

  • dirt sticks less
  • marks are easier to remove
  • most cleaning can be done with clear water

The product also allows concrete to breathe (air and moisture can pass through), which helps maintain its condition over time.

The colour remains stable thanks to strong UV resistance, even in outdoor conditions.

Typical uses include vertical concrete such as:

  • exterior concrete façades exposed to sun and heat
  • interior concrete walls in residential or commercial spaces
  • precast concrete panels used in construction
  • fibre-reinforced concrete elements
  • architectural concrete walls

Tested and verified by independent laboratories:

  • LEED (green building rating – low emissions & sustainable materials)
  • Eurofins (air quality test – very low indoor emissions)
  • ASTM E84 Class A (fire resistance – high safety level)
  • Beading effect
  • 10 years guarantee
  • Facades
  • Coverage (1L = 8m2)
  • Bio-sourced Formula
Advantages
  • Colours concrete while keeping a natural mineral look
  • Helps keep concrete cooler in direct sunlight
  • Protects against water, oil and everyday stains
  • Reduces dirt build-up and dark marks
  • Makes cleaning easier with water
  • Allows concrete to breathe (air and moisture pass through)
  • UV-resistant for long-lasting colour
  • Helps limit weather damage (rain, freeze, heat)
  • Plant-based formula using renewable ingredients
  • Very low emissions for indoor use
USE

Use ProtectGuard Color Heat Control Plant-Based Formula on vertical concrete only, indoors and outdoors, after 28 days curing.

  • exterior concrete façades exposed to sun and heat
  • building walls facing direct sunlight
  • interior concrete walls in homes, shops or offices
  • precast concrete wall panels used in construction
  • fibre-reinforced concrete wall elements
  • architectural concrete walls (decorative or structural)

Surface preparation :

  • 1
    Apply the product to a surface that is clean, dust free, grease-free and dry.
  • 2
    In case of white traces, laitance, or cement bloom: Clean using Guard Cleaner Surface Preparation until it disappears. This step also allows to open up the porosity of the concrete and allow optimum grip of the protection.
  • 3
    In case of greasy stains or formwork release oil residues, use Guard Cleaner® Maintenance first.
  • 4
    Rinse carefully with a pressure washer until the surface is free from all traces of the cleaner. Wait for complete drying through, approximately 24 hours before treatment.

Application :

Application:
• Use neat – do not dilute.
• Mix the product for at least 3 minutes using a
mechanical agitator to homogenise the pigments with the rest of the composition.

Application by HVLP :
• Apply from the bottom up in at least 2 cross coats.
Do not exceed the recommended final consumption of 120 to 160 g/m2.
• Do not overload.
• Drying time between each coat: 15 to 60 minutes
depending on weather conditions. The 1st coat must be dry to the touch before applying the 2nd coat.

Application roller:
• Apply from the bottom up in at least 2 cross coats.
Do not exceed the recommended final consumption of 120 to 160 g/m2.
• Do not overload.
• Drying time between each coat: 15 to 60 minutes depending on weather conditions. The 1st coat must be dry to the touch before applying the 2nd coat.

  • Sprayer or short nap roller

    For a perfect application, we recommend using an HVLP sprayer. Application with a short nap roller is also possible.
