A multi-purpose cleaner for greasy marks and everyday soiling: greases, mineral oils and tyre marks. For stone, concrete, terracotta and tiles, indoors and out. The manufacturer states an Ecolabel formula with food-contact approval.
Surface
Block paving
The surface the manufacturer intends this preparation for.
Net'Guard is the inverse of Guard Remover: that one lifts mineral deposits (cement, lime, efflorescence), this one lifts organic and greasy soiling - greases, mineral oils, tyre marks, everyday staining.
It is used undiluted, through a low-pressure sprayer. The dwell time is long compared with acidic products - from 15 minutes upwards, depending on what has to come off. Brushing improves the result; letting the product dry before rinsing ruins it.
The manufacturer states an Ecolabel-certified formula with food-contact approval, and no need to neutralise after rinsing. Coverage 8 m² per litre.
The usual reason a sealing job fails is not the product but the substrate. A sealer will not bond to a surface with grease, lime efflorescence or an old coating on it.
New paving has to season first. Manufacturers state that period on the data sheet - usually around 28 days from the date the block was made. The figure for each product is under "Technical data".
Before sealing the whole area, test on a patch hidden by a planter or in a corner of the patio. The same product can read differently on two batches of the same material, and on a surface with old coating left on it, it will not bond at all.
That depends on the finish given in the technical data. An invisible product leaves the colour alone, a wet-look version deepens it permanently, and a colour sealer gives it a new shade. Each product's finish is listed under "Technical data".
By how the water behaves. While it still beads on the surface, the treatment is working. Once water starts soaking in and dark patches return after rain, the protection has worn out. We do not quote a number of years, because it depends on traffic, sun and whether the drive is salted in winter.
No. Water occupies the pores the product is meant to enter, and stays trapped under the film. The result is often a milky bloom that cannot be removed without stripping the coat. The exceptions - products that allow slight surface dampness - say so in their technical data.
Use the calculator under the product description: it takes the manufacturer's coverage figure, the number of coats and the absorbency of the substrate, and turns them into pack sizes. On older, thirstier paving, work to the lower end of the coverage range.
Penetrating products form no film on the surface and do not change its grip. Where a manufacturer says something about slipperiness, we quote it in the technical data. If the surface is already slippery, the right product is an anti-slip treatment, not a sealer.
This one. Oil is organic soiling and needs a degreasing product. Guard Remover is for mineral deposits - cement, lime, efflorescence.
Yes - the manufacturer lists indoor and outdoor use, on stone, concrete, terracotta and tiles. After rinsing, the surface needs no neutralising.
The technical sheet and safety data sheet will be available after approval.
Enter the area and how absorbent the substrate is. We work out the litres and the packs.
The manufacturer states 1 l of undiluted product to approx. 8 m².
