Anti-Carbonation Coating or Paint
CRACK BRIDGING & ANTI-CARBONATION PROTECTIVE COATING FOR CONCRETE.
CARBONATION GUARD is a waterborne, high builds formula that blocks the carbon dioxide diffusion into the concrete thus preventing the carbonation of concrete & reinforcement steel.

- Crack-bridging even at low temperatures(-20°C).
- High diffusion resistance against CO2 reducing the rate of carbonation.
- Water vapor permeable.
- Very good resistance against weathering and ageing.
- Preventive protection for new reinforced concrete structures exposed to aggressive Environments.
- Environmentally friendly (solvent free).
- Reduced tendency to dirt picks up and contamination
- Protection and enhancement of concrete structures (normal and light weight concrete), specially exposed concrete surfaces with a risk of cracking.
- With concrete repair works as an elastic protective top coating on Repair Guard ready mix polymer mortar concrete to old concrete.
Why Choose CARBONATION GUARD?
- Superior Protection: Blocks CO₂ diffusion to prevent carbonation and extends the lifespan of concrete structures.
- High Flexibility: Bridges cracks even in extreme temperatures (-20°C).
- Weather Resistance: Provides excellent durability against aging, UV exposure, and harsh environmental conditions.
- Easy Application: Can be applied using a brush or roller with minimal surface preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is CARBONATION GUARD?
CARBONATION GUARD is a single-component, 100% pure acrylic-based elastomeric coating designed to protect concrete structures from carbonation and cracking.
How does CARBONATION GUARD prevent carbonation in concrete?
It forms a protective barrier that significantly reduces CO₂ diffusion, preventing carbonation and extending the durability of reinforcement steel.
Where can CARBONATION GUARD be applied?
It is ideal for exposed concrete surfaces prone to cracking, new and existing reinforced concrete structures, and concrete repair works as a top protective coating.
How is CARBONATION GUARD applied?
It is applied using a brush or roller, in two coats, on a well-prepared concrete surface after cleaning and crack filling.
