ProtectGuard Express – Concrete Sealer for Fresh Concrete (24h) – Water Repellent & Anti-Stain

Concrete sealer for fresh concrete, applicable from 24 hours after demoulding. Provides water-repellent, anti-stain and anti-efflorescence protection while allowing the surface to breathe. Ideal for fast production and early delivery of precast concrete.

ProtectGuard Express is a water-based concrete sealer designed for the protection of fresh and young concrete from 24 hours after demoulding. It protects surfaces against water penetration, oil, stains, dirt and efflorescence while preserving the natural appearance of the substrate.

Thanks to its non-film-forming technology, ProtectGuard Express penetrates deeply into the material, allowing the surface to breathe while ensuring long-lasting protection. It is UV-resistant, non-yellowing and suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Ideal for the concrete industry, it can be applied to precast elements, fibre-reinforced concrete, UHPC and architectural concrete, significantly reducing waiting times by eliminating the traditional 28-day curing period. Treated surfaces can be handled, protected and delivered within 48 hours.

ProtectGuard Express also acts as a sacrificial anti-graffiti barrier and simplifies maintenance by limiting dirt adhesion and surface degradation caused by weathering, freeze-thaw cycles and pollution.

Ready to use and easy to apply, this water-based, low-VOC and solvent-free solution is suitable for facades, floors and roofs.
