Protect
RetroPel™ is an oil and water repellent specifically formulated for concrete and terrazzo floors. It prevents oil from penetrating the floor, and water reactions that cause whiting.
Newly densified and polished floors remain susceptible to water and oil penetration, as the densification process (which aids in mitigating stains) hasn’t been fully achieved. Most of this process is achieved within the first 48 hours but continues for up to six months. RetroPel™ provides repellence during this critical phase.
RetroGuard™ provides ultimate stain and etch protection with a high gloss finish. This topical coating is ideal for protecting concrete and terrazzo against staining.
When a spill occurs, RetroGuard’s layer of protective properties prevent the floor from immediate damage and increases the window of opportunity for clean-up.
