Raincheck masonry water-repellents

Safeguard's Raincheck range of products are designed to eliminate problems arising from rainwater penetration into masonry. They impart water-repellency to masonry without affecting the finish of the substrate (though some slight darkening may occur).

Rain penetration into masonry can occur in buildings of all ages. At its most obvious, it penetrates right through the wall and is visible as a damp patch on the internal wall. However, rainwater penetration can be damaging to a property, even if it does not penetrate all the way through a wall. For example, moss growth, increased heat loss, and frost damage can be caused by rain penetration into masonry.

Two formaulations are available in the Raincheck range; Raincheck, and Raincheck Plus, both of which benefit from high UV resistance, which is particularly important in the South African climate. Raincheck is a general purpose product which can be used on most substrates with a pH of 10.5 or below. For substrates with a pH of above 10.5, such as newly-pointed brickwork, Raincheck Plus should be used.
