Water and Oil Repellency on Mineral Surfaces: Care and Protection
Water and Oil Repellency on Mineral Surfaces
Mineral surfaces like concrete, marble, granite, tile, plaster, and brick, indispensable to architectural design, add aesthetic and natural character to spaces. However, due to their porous structure, these surfaces can become vulnerable to dirt, stains, and microbial growth over time. Aggressive stains like coffee, cola, and oil, as well as algae and moss growth, particularly on exterior facades and heavily used floors, negatively impact the appearance and lifespan of buildings. So, is it possible to preserve these surfaces to the fullest without altering their original appearance? This is precisely where Ecotera's innovative solutions, Restora WO Wall and Restora WO Floor, come into play.
Restora WO Wall: Protector of Vertical Surfaces
Restora WO Wall is a water- and oil-repellent protective additive specifically formulated for vertical mineral surfaces such as building facades, interior walls, plastered surfaces, and brick walls. Its primary function is to alter the surface's chemical structure, making it "hard to stain and easy to clean." How does it work? WO Wall penetrates the surface, reacting within the pores, and renders it hydrophobic (water-repellent) and oleophobic (oil-repellent). This allows:
- Prevents Stain Formation: Substances such as oil, coffee, cola, dirt and dirty water cannot penetrate the surface and can be easily removed with a simple wipe with water or rain water.
- Provides Protection Against Graffiti and Chewing Gum: By weakening the adhesion of adhesive substances to the surface, it makes cleaning them incredibly easy.
- Slows Down Microbiological Growth: It helps keep the surface cleaner and healthier by eliminating the moist environment required for the growth of microorganisms such as moss, algae, fungi and mold.
Breathable: One of its most important features is that it doesn't form a film on the surface. This allows structures to "breathe" (water vapor permeability), allows moisture inside to escape, and prevents problems like swelling and cracking.
- Alkali and UV Resistance: It is highly reactive and highly resistant to alkalis, making it durable in exterior applications.
Restora WO Floor: Durability and Aesthetics of Your Floors
Restora WO Floor , as its name suggests, is a powerful sealer that can be used on both horizontal and vertical mineral surfaces, such as concrete floors, marble and granite slabs, tiles, limestone, and sandstone. Sharing similar technology to WO Wall , WO Floor is designed to eradicate the problems of wear, staining, and contamination on floors.
Advantages of WO Floor on floors:
- Slower Staining, Easy Cleaning: Floors take much longer to get dirty. Superficial dirt and stains that do form can be easily removed with standard cleaning methods (wet mopping, sweeping), significantly reducing cleaning costs and labor.
- Protection Against Heavy Stains: It protects the floors like a shield in areas where oil and aggressive liquids are frequently spilled, such as kitchens, garages, restaurants and hotels.
- Extends the Life of the Structure: By protecting the floor against moisture, dirt and chemicals, it prevents structural deterioration and extends the life of the floor.
- Environmentally Friendly and Safe: With its solvent-free, low-VOC content, and eco-friendly formula, it can be used safely even indoors. It is risk-free for human health and the environment.
Smart Investment, Permanent Solution
Restora WO Wall and Restora WO Floor are a smart investment to preserve the aesthetic value and physical integrity of your buildings. These products not only make cleaning easier, but also offer technological solutions that extend the life of your buildings, reduce maintenance costs, and give you peace of mind with their environmentally friendly features. Start protecting your mineral surfaces against future threats today and enjoy clean, like-new surfaces for years to come.
