product application
Application
• Apply the product to a surface that is clean, dust-free, grease-free and dry. To remove stains and marks of pollution use Guard Cleaner Eco® Polluted Facades, while for efflorescence, laitance or concrete bloom use Guard Remover Eco® Efflorescence & Cement.
• Use product neat - do not dilute. • Shake container well before use. Test first. • The surface must be impregnated from the bottom up until saturation in a single layer or in two layers «wet on wet». • Avoid applying too thickly. Remove any excess before it dries. • Protect for 24 hours until dry. • Optimal performance is achieved after 7 days.

• Apply the product to a surface that is clean, dust-free, grease-free and dry. To remove stains and marks of pollution use Guard Cleaner Eco® Polluted Facades, while for efflorescence, laitance or concrete bloom use Guard Remover Eco® Efflorescence & Cement. • The conditions of application and surface preparation must satisfy French unified code of building practice DTU 59.1.
• Use product neat - do not dilute. • Shake container well before use to ensure thorough mixing of the pigments with the rest of the composition. • Test first.
application tools
Application using HVLP spray : • Working from the the bottom up, apply not more than 2 to 4 mutually perpendicular layers depending on the desired appearance. • Do not apply too thickly. • Drying time between layers: 15 minutes.
coverage
Application with brush and roller : • Working from the bottom up, apply 2 or 3 coats by brush, spreading the product so that it is not too thick. • If brush marks are visible, smooth with short-haired roller. • Drying time between coats: 30 minutes. • Protect for 24 hours until dry. • Optimal performance is achieved after 7 days.
• Approximately 6 to 10 m²/litre.

WITH DTOX products, SURFACES STAY CLEAN AND THE AIR IS PURIFIED! Guard Industry is a French company that specialises in researching, making and developing products that protect, decorate, clean, maintain and preserve building materials.
FIGHTING ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION
clean up environment while preserving building materials Guard Industry now offers the innovative solution to these problems: DTOX products which combine water-repellent, oilrepellent, anti-graffiti and pollution-removing properties. DTOX products can be applied outdoors on all porous materials (stone, concrete, brick, rendering, etc.). They can be used on new work and in renovation. DTOX products are available in two versions: ProtectGuard DTOX has a totally invisible finish, while ProtectGuard Color DTOX is a coloured lasure which, in addition to providing complete protection, offers the possibility of colouring the material by surface impregnation.
THE DTOX RANGE: INNOVATIVE 3-IN-1 products
Photocatalytic removal of pollution
Our company develops products for tackling damp, dirt, pollution, graffiti and more, and that adapt to all kinds of building materials, such as natural stone, concrete, brick, wood, etc. Ever since it was founded, Guard Industry has been committed to manufacturing innovative, high-quality products by investing heavily and continually in research and development.

Outside
Every day approximately 15,000 litres of air enter our lungs. This air is heavily polluted by road transport, industrial activity and agriculture. According to the World Meteorological Organization, the European Commission and France’s Ministry of Sustainable Development, this atmospheric pollution causes on average each year the premature deaths of 2.3 million people worldwide, 400,000 in Europe and 40,000 in France. Air quality has become a major environmental concern.
Protection against water, dirt and grease Removal of pollution from outside air Self-cleaning surfaces Colourless, invisible finish Non-film-forming
Conscious of today’s environmental challenges, our company designs products to rigorous specifications out of respect for man and the planet. To combat the scourge of atmospheric pollution, Guard Industry is today turning to photocatalytic technology to clean up our environment while preserving our building materials.
ProtectGuard® DTOX Treatment
Inside
DTOX products use photocatalytic action to remove pollutants present in outdoor air and break down organic pollution. They contain titanium dioxide (TiO2) which acts as a catalyst. Under the action of UV light, titanium dioxide is activated. It breaks down most pollutants and organic contamination which causes grime on buildings: industrial pollution, exhaust fumes, moss, algae, mould, oils and greases, etc. These organic pollutants are then converted into water vapour and carbon dioxide.

DTOX products offer long-lasting protection against water, dirt, grease, graffiti and pollution. They limit the harmful effects of moisture (erosion, efflorescence or surface salts, growth of micro-organisms, frost damage etc.) and slow the build-up of grime on materials.
Self-cleaning surfaces
From the properties of TiO2, and from internationally conducted laboratory tests, the evidence suggests that the following breakdown percentages can be achieved: 95% of NOX, 85% of VOCs, 90% of traditional pollutants (acetone, acetaldehyde, toluene, heptane).

PHOTOCATALYSIS, A 100% NATURAL PROCESS
Pollution causes serious health problems as well as darkening our buildings with unsightly smears and grime. In addition, maintenance and resurfacing are costly and generate their own pollution (large amounts of water, energy and solventcontaining detergents are used).

Photocatalysis is a totally natural process in which a substance, the photocatalyst, initiates a chemical reaction when exposed to light. The catalyst breaks matter down under the action of light radiation. This process resembles plant photocatalysis, in which chlorophyll captures sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. Photocatalysis therefore accelerates the oxidation process, causing pollutants to be broken down more rapidly.

Thanks to the product’s water- and oil-repellent properties, dirt cannot cling to the surface and is washed off by the rain. Surfaces thus become self-cleaning.
