Mineralising/consolidating for walls and floors water- and oil-repelent product
Guard Hardener® WO: one product, two functions:
1. Hardens/consolidates and crystallises
Guard Hardener® WO is a product for consolidating inorganic, porous, poorly cohesive materials. It can also be used for restoring old monuments, fountains, cornices, and statuary in natural stone.
Guard Hardener® WO remedies the principal causes of deterioration of materials such as freeze/thaw cycles and acid rain, damage due to salts (crystallisation, hydration and hygroscopy), expansion and contraction of the material, modification of the structure of limestone carbonate under the action of CO2-containing water, colonisation by cryptogamic agents (moss, lichen etc.), use of excessively alkaline cleaners and/or failure to rinse cleaners off...
Guard Hardener® WO recreates the mineral crystalline network destroyed by one of the causes mentioned above, so that the treated substrate is reverted to its original mechanical properties.
2. Water- and oil-repellent
Guard Hardener® WO also has water- and oil-repellent properties that provide lasting protection for all porous materials against penetration by water, oil and stains of all kinds.
Guard Hardener® WO slows the aging of substrates, facilitates their maintenance and prevents the main causes of deterioration such as pollution, grease, soiling, water intrusion, moss, etc.
Guard Hardener® WO is for indoor and outdoor use wherever materials need consolidating and protecting. It can be applied to siliceous and carbonate rocks, concrete, cement, bricks, terracotta, slate etc.
  • Increases the life of materials.
  • Hardens and consolidates materials.
  • High penetration and abrasion resistant.
  • “Anti-dusting” action.
  • Colourless.
  • Stain-, dirt- and adhesive-resistant: prevents penetration by water and greasy liquids.
  • Limits efflorescence.
  • 10 year efficiency.
  • Non-film-forming – allows substrate to breathe.
  • Excellent ageing, UV-resistant, does not yellow.
Apply using a low pressure spray unit with a Viton joint, a brush or a roller.
Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with white spirit.
  • Apply the product to a surface that is clean, dust-free and above all dry.
  • A mechanical with a brush or chemical cleaning can be done.
  • To remove stains and marks of pollution use Guard Cleaner® Polluted facades. In case of greasy stains use Guard Cleaner® Eco Soiled floors. For efflorescence or saltpetre use Guard Remover® Eco Efflorescence & cement. To eliminate moss and lichens, use Guard® Anti-M 24.
  • For new concrete constructions, allow substrate to stabilise (28 days) before treatment.
  • Apply product neat – do not dilute.
  • Test first.
  • Apply to the point of saturation of the substrate in 2 layers with an interval of at least 10 min.
  • Protected drying: 24 hours.
  • Full efficiency achieved after drying 7 days.
  • The treated substrate must not be covered by another coating.
  • Physical state at 20°C: Liquid.
  • Appearance: Uncoloured.
  • Odour: Solvent.
  • pH: Not applicable.
  • Boiling point [°C]: 100°C.
  • Density: 0.9 ± 0.03.
  • Solubility in water [vol/vol]: Non soluble.
  • Flash point [°C]: > 62°C.
  • Cethyl silicate content: 40%.
  • VOCs: 317 g/l*.
The following values are for guidance only:
  • Very porous and crumbling materials: 0.5 to 2m²/litre for 2 layers.
  • Porous materials: 3 to 5m²/litre for 2 layers.
  • Low porous materials: 6 to 10m2/litre for 2 layers.
5 litres.
  • Keep in a dry place (between 5°C and 30°C).
  • Storage: 24 months following the production date when kept in the original unopened container.
  • Always carry out preliminary tests to check the penetration of the product and the final look of the substrate.
  • Do not treat surfaces until they have first been cleaned of all atmospheric pollution.
  • For ideal application and effective results, Guard Hardener® WO must be used when the substrate temperature is between 5°C and 30°C.
  • Apply at a temperature between 10 and 25°C. Do not apply in direct sunlight, during rain or when there is a risk of rain.
  • Do tests for efficacy on the target substrate.
  • Do not apply to «black crusts» which may be deep dirt or may suggest deep damage to the substrate.
  • Do not dilute or mix with another product, especially not water.
  • Do not apply to materials which have been painted or made water repellent or to materials with a synthetic.
  • Metallic or plastic coating, or to vitrified tiling or plaster or so-called «grilled» rendering or to any wet substrate. 
  • Protect materials not intended to be treated such as glass, aluminium, wood and paint.
  • The effectiveness of Guard Hardener® WO depends on the quantity applied, therefore keep to the coverage figures.
  • If spray applying, be careful not to allow a mist to form.
  • Respiratory protection: Wear a mask (type: A2P3R).
  • Hand protection: Wear rubber gloves.
  • Skin protection: No special protective clothing or skin protection is required under normal conditions of use.
  • Eye protection: If there is a real risk of splashing, wear protective goggles.
  • If swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Contact a doctor or a specialist.
