ProtectGuard® MG, new generation product for the protection of polished marbles and granites



New product in the protection range: ProtectGuard® MG designed to protect polished or crystallized marble, granite and other smooth mineral surfaces that have low porosity against penetration of water, grease, weak acids (fruit juice, ketchup, etc.) as well as all types of soiling. ProtectGuard® MG is a new generation and extremly efficient protection product formulated with 100% of active substance.

ImperGuard® RF, protection of concrete against water and chlorides



Guard Industrie has just developed ImperGuard® RF with Evonik-Degussa. This product is designed to provide in-depth protection of concretes and all materials of mineral origin against water, humidity and chlorides. ImperGuard® RF is also very effective on microcracks up to 3 mm and stops alkali-silica or alkali-aggregate reactions in concrete and construction materials.

ProtectGuard® CP, protection of concrete against water, greasy stains and corrosion



Besides the water-repellent and anti corrosion properties of ImperGuard® CP, some constructions need specific protection against greasy stains and pollution. Guard Industrie has therefore developed ProtectGuard® CP designed to prevent penetration of water, chlorides and greasy stains and reduce concrete reinforcement corrosion. Like ImperGuard® CP, ProtectGuard® CP is formulated with 100% of active substance and has great penetration properties.

ImperGuard® CP, protection of concrete against water and corrosion



Reinforcements in contact with humidity and chlorides (de-icing salts, etc.) oxidise, leading to an increase in volume which splits the concrete and weakens the mechanical strength of the elements concerned. In order to solve this problem, Guard Industrie developped with Evonik-Degussa ImperGuard® CP, designed to prevent penetration of water and chlorides and reduce concrete reinforcement corrosion. Unlike commercially available corrosion inhibitors, ImperGuard® CP penetrates very deeply into concretes (to a depth of several centimetres) and thus efficiently protects concrete.
