ANTI GRAFFITI SOLUTIONS

Anti-Graffiti & Surface Protection

Gloss Enterprises Pty Ltd is the sole Dry-Treat Accredited Applicator in the ACT
and offers a 15 year warranty on work carried out by our company.  

Suitability
Dry-Treat is suitable for a wide range of surfaces including engineering concrete, terracotta, tile, cast stone, paving, sandstone, limestone, brick and grout.  It is instrumental in creating a barrier against moisture, oils and salts and helps to consolidate and strengthen friable surfaces such as soft sandstone and limestone.

All materials have a surface energy. It is a measure of how much a liquid or solid wants to stick together
A liquid with a low surface energy e.g. oil, is able to "wet" a material with a high surface energy e.g. stone. Dry-Treat sealers work by changing the surface energy at the surface of the building material so that it becomes lower than that of the liquid trying to wet it. That means that contaminating liquids such as oil and water are no longer attracted to that surface and are repelled.

Depth of impregnation
The depth of penetration achieved will vary with the surface absorption and amount of product applied. The more product applied will result in a deeper depth of impregnation.

Protection from Alkali Attack
Cement based materials are highly alkaline due to the presence of calcium hydroxide i.e. they have a high pH. Unlike many other products the chemical bond of a Dry-Treat sealers can withstand strong alkali attack from calcium hydroxide.

Chemical Reaction
At the heart of a Dry-Treat impregnating sealers are specially engineered molecules - modified silane and fluorine polymers which penetrate much deeper and bond permanently inside the treated material by chemical reaction.

Protection against salt attack (efflorescence) and freeze-thaw damage
