Aqua Fend® F surface protection has a life expectancy of up to fifteen years whilst Aqua Fend® G depending on footfall, can offer up to eight years protection.
Aqua Fend® has been formulated to deliver results, while being non-hazardous to the surrounding environment. With many products within the construction and maintenance sectors being formulated to deliver a quick and aggressive result without forethought to wider ecological concerns, Aqua Fend® offers a more sustainable alternative:
- 0.0% VOC content
- water based
- solvent-free and non-toxic, LC 50 rating more than 10,000
- non-flammable
- no restrictions for internal use
- biodegradable
Aqua Fend® surface protection not only protects a surface and helps to prevent unsightly discolouring or marking of surfaces. Problems caused by staining can be costly to remedy – whether through organic growth on a façade or coffee stains and chewing gum on the ground. Aqua Fend® creates an invisible barrier making cleaning easier and mitigating staining.
- problematic stains no longer penetrate the surface
- removal of graffiti, chewing gum and greasy stains is easy so any organic growth is prevented
- surface ageing is delayed, enabling surfaces to look new for longer
Aqua Fend® creates an impenetrable but breathable barrier against surface contaminants and allows surfaces to breathe. Any surfaces treated with Aqua Fend® will remain greater than 90% permeable as certified by the BBA (British Board of Agreement). This means that Aqua Fend® will not trap residual moisture within the surface of the substrate.
Aqua Fend® keeps the substrate (stone, brick, concrete) dry, enhancing a building’s thermal resistance and may subsequently help to reduce heating bills.
Yes. There are no restrictions for internal use. Aqua Fend® has an A+ ‘emissions into indoor air’ rating and is entirely solvent and silicone-free.
No, Aqua Fend® offers invisible protection and will not alter the colour of the substrate. It is, however, available in wet-look and coloured formulations according to need.
A high-volume, low-pressure sprayer is preferable. Aqua Fend® recommend the entire range of Gloria Heavy Duty stainless steel and steel tank sprayers for the application process.
Please visit our How to apply Aqua Fend page for a full step-by-step process on how to correctly apply your Aqua Fend® product.
Water repellence is achieved in 24 hours, but optimum effectiveness is obtained after seven days.
Aqua Fend® must not be applied when raining, or if rain is expected. All surfaces need to be visibly dry before application commences.
The quantity of product needed depends on the substrate porosity so varies considerably. Please see relevant on-pack information for details.
