Sikagard-790 All-in-One Protect – Protective Impregnation

Sikagard-790 All-in-One Protect

Invisible, breathable protective impregnation for porous mineral substrates against the penetration of water and oil and against staining. The following description summarizes the most important manufacturer information for selection and application by SIKA in a practical manner.

Advantages

• Protects against the penetration of water and oil
• Reduces staining
• Does not form a visible film and only minimally alters the appearance
• Water vapor diffusion remains possible
• For facades, floors and roofs
• For indoor and outdoor use
• UV-resistant
• Can facilitate the later removal of graffiti
• Low VOC levels

Areas of application

• Natural stone such as granite, limestone and marble
• Reconstructed and artificial stone
• Terracotta tiles and roof tiles
• Concrete, cement plaster and gypsum
• Porous mineral facade, floor and roof surfaces

Technical data

• Chemical basis: water-dispersed fluoropolymer
• Density: approx. 1.01 g/cm³ at +20 °C
• pH value: approx. 5.8
• Flash point: > 100 °C
• Shelf life: 12 months
• Application: air and substrate +5 °C to +30 °C
• Apply at least 2 °C above the dew point
• Optimal protection after approx. 7 days
• Consumption depending on porosity: approx. 50–600 g/m² per coat
• Containers: 5 l

Certifications & tests

• GEV-EMICODE EC1PLUS according to SIKA

Application & substrate

• Shake containers thoroughly before use; do not dilute the product.
• Apply with a brush, roller or low-pressure sprayer until saturated, usually in two wet-on-wet coats.
• Distribute excess material; protect the treated surface from rain within the first 24 hours.

Notes / possible disadvantages

• Consumption and protective effect depend heavily on the porosity and absorbency of the substrate.
• On visually demanding natural stones or unknown surfaces, first apply a sample area.
• No film-forming coating – for severely damaged or insufficiently absorbent substrates, the effect is correspondingly limited.

FAQ

Which variant is suitable?
Color and containers are selected separately. For packaged goods, individual containers, half units and full units are available, where applicable.

Does it need to be primed?
This depends on Sikagard-790 All-in-One Protect, the substrate and the exposure. The above notes and the current SIKA product data sheet are decisive.

Can I use the product outdoors?
Only to the extent that the respective application is approved by SIKA for outdoor use. The substrate, moisture, temperature and exposure are decisive.

What is important for storage and application?
Store containers closed, dry and within the temperature limits specified by the manufacturer. Observe the product and safety data sheet before application.
