Benefits of Fortifier Plus™

• Fortified Plus™ has 2 main uses:
  1. Premium protection from salt spalling and freeze-thaw spalling for softer, very porous natural stone, brick and concrete in a salt water or freeze-thaw environment (e.g. around a salt water swimming pool).
  2. Premium quality, breathable water repellent for terraces, paths, walls, cladding and pool surrounds which Nano consolidation of very porous stones can increase strength by up to 40%.

• Premium water-repelling silane provides optimal protection against water ingress.
• Protects against picture framing and efflorescence, reduces mould growth and water-based staining, makes maintenance easier and keeping surfaces looking good.
• Very small sealing molecules are up to 500 x smaller than competing technologies and penetrate deeply into pores to create a substantial water repellent and strengthened layer.
• Optimized to form permanent bonds inside the pores of various types of porous stones, concrete, brick, grout and other very porous materials.
• Non film-forming and retains natural colour.
• Keeps surfaces looking new for longer, makes cleaning easier.
• Fully breathable, allowing water vapor to escape freely, avoiding harmful moisture build-up inside the material.
• Designed for indoor (for e.g. bathrooms, wet rooms and showeres) and for outdoor surfaces on residential and commercial projects which require premium water repellence.
• Negligible change to slip resistance when applied according to our written instructions and guidelines.
• High resistance to alkaline (high pH) environments. Concrete is highly alkaline/base and can severely shorten the life of other technologies.
• Highly UV resistant.
• 15 Year Performance Warranty when applied according to our guidelines by an Approved Applicator who records the project in our online warranty system.
• PLEASE NOTE: While Fortifier Plus can substantially increase the life of stone, brick or concrete in a salt water or freeze-thaw environment it cannot turn a pig’s ear into a silk purse – i.e. if a stone or other material is too soft, too porous or too friable, it should not be used in a salt water or freeze-thaw environment and Fortifier Plus may not be enough to stop it from deteriorating quickly.

Suitable Surfaces

• Salt-water or mineral pool surrounds.
• Terraces, paths, walls, stone cladding, all pool surrounds – wherever premium water repellence is desirable.
• Horizontal and vertical surfaces, including building envelopes (verticals), saltwater pool surrounds, cladding, pavers, blockwork, brickwork.
• Appropriate for new and restored natural stone and other porous building materials, including: Travertine, sandstone, limestone, marble, precast concrete, cast stone, Saltillo, terracotta, grout, concrete pavers, concrete blockwork and very porous bricks.
• PLEASE NOTE: For indoor and outdoor entertaining areas where oil repellence is needed, seal with Stain Protector™.
• Appropriate for new and restored materials, including: Travertine, sandstone, limestone, precast concrete, cast stone, Saltillo, terracotta, grout, concrete blockwork and very porous bricks.
