RCM Clear Guard Water Repellent Waterproofing Solution

RCM Clear Guard is a premium, advanced water-based water repellent designed to provide superior waterproofing for a wide variety of porous substrates. Its penetrating formulation reduces surface tension, effectively prolonging the life of treated surfaces by preventing water ingress while allowing the surface to breathe naturally.

Recommended For Use On:

• Face brick
• Concrete
• Fibre cement
• Plaster work
• Stone and natural tiles

Features & Benefits:

• Penetrating emulsion for deep surface protection
• Extends the life of surfaces by up to 15 years
• Transparent when cured — maintains the natural appearance of the substrate
• Can be overcoated
• Easy to apply with an RCM Paint Brush, roller, or airless spray equipment
• Environmentally safe – water-based and non-hazardous
• Maintenance coat recommended every 16–24 months for optimum protection

Surface Preparation:

• Surfaces must be clean, sound, dry, and free from laitance (white film from drying concrete), fungal growth, grease, oil, or loose particles.
• Repair any cracks before starting.
• For face brick applications, ensure all plumbing pipes are properly sealed before applying the product.

Application Instructions:

• Stir RCM Clear Guard thoroughly before use.
• Do not dilute — ready to use.
• It is recommended to test on a small area before full application, as certain substrates may darken after curing.
• Apply two coats (uncured to uncured): As soon as the first coat begins to discolour, apply the second coat to ensure deep penetration.
• Work from the top down to allow proper flow and coverage.
• Application can be done with a roller, brush, block brush, or airless spray equipment.

Coverage:

• Covers approximately 3–4m² per litre (depending on substrate and porosity).

Safety Precautions:

• Keep out of reach of children.
• Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
• Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure.
• Store in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry place.
