SEALERS
Natural Shield
Engineered for professionals,
installed by anyone
Natural Shield is an exceptional waterproofing sealer that excels under the most demanding circumstances. Natural Shield’s low molecular weight allows for excellent penetration. It fills into the pores of the substrate, in which a chemical reaction follows to create a solid yet breathable membrane.
Natural Shield provides long-lasting protection for a vast array of surfaces. It has the durability of a solvent-based system, but with the easy application and clean-up of water-based products. Natural Shield’s performance allows to be used in commercial and industrial areas to protect your surface and lower maintenance efforts.
Features & Benefits
Natural Shield is a ready-to-use penetrating sealer achieving the durability and performance of a solvent-based system, but with the easy application and clean-up of water-based products.
RECOMMENDED FOR:
X-Bond Microcement
Natural Stain
Existing concrete
Stucco
Porous natural stone
Slump wall
Block wall
Tilt-up wall
-
Natural Shield penetrates into the pores and stabilzes the substrate, prolonging the life span of the substrate for long-lasting durability and decreased maintenance efforts.
-
Natural Shield is UV-resistant sealer and can be applied to multiple surfaces to give extra protection. Highly alkali resistant and effective against freeze-thaw damage.
-
Natural Shield’s performance allows it to be used in commercial areas. Excellent chemical resistance and industrial strength finish allow Natural Shield to be used in an industrial environment.
-
With its low water permeability, Natural Shield can be used in showers. It can also be applied on damp surfaces.
-
Protects your investment increases life of mortar, tiles, stucco, brick and natural stone surfaces.

HOW : Sweep debris off surface and loose surface
PURPOSE : No debris in sealer
HOW : Use Natural Shield (water-based penetrating sealer)
PURPOSE : Creates flat finish;
1. Penetrating seal w/ chemical reaction
2. Waterproof
3. Moisture mitigation
-
HOW : Apply the sealer with a 1/4” nap roller, HVLP sprayer, pump sprayer, or airless sprayer with tip size 17. Minimum of 3 coats are required to ensure maximum performance
PURPOSE : Ensures proper application. Does not allow to puddle, will create a white haze if puddled
HOW : Apply the first coat and DO NOT ALLOW THE SEALER TO DRY BEFORE APPLYING SECOND AND THIRD COATS. Do not allow to puddle
PURPOSE : Ensures penetration. If sealer dries before additional coats it may not bond properly
HOW : Repeat the application to a minimum of 3 coats. Additional coats may be required depending on the porosity of the surface (X-Bond requires, 3 coats only, other surfaces such as concrete or block may require additional coats)
PURPOSE : Avoids hazing – ensures penetration
VERTICAL SURFACES
HOW : Apply the sealer with a 1/4” nap roller, HVLP sprayer, or airless sprayer with tip size 15. Start application from bottom to top to avoid runs in the sealer. Avoid over-spraying. Minimum of 3 coats is required to ensure maximum performance.
PURPOSE : Ensures proper sealing application, avoids runs in the sealer
