Water Repellent

A clear roof tile waterproofing treatment offering long-term protection for roofs.
A one-coat super hydrophobic advanced clear roof tile waterproofer for all mineral building surfaces such as clay, concrete, terracotta, natural stone, slate, fibre cement, etc. This comes with a 10 year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Our Water Repellent offers these key features:

  • Ideal for mineral surfaces like concrete, clay, slate, and terracotta.
  • Manufactured in Germany with cutting-edge technology.
  • Super hydrophobic treatment for exceptional water repellency.
  • UKAS accredited tested for quality assurance.
  • Backed by a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee and a 25-year life expectancy.
  • Highly breathable system, unlike traditional roof tile sealers.
  • One-coat clear protection for effortless application.
  • Creates a self-cleaning surface for easy maintenance.
  • Extends the lifespan of all mineral building surfaces, including roof tiles.

Super Hydrophobic

A surface becomes superhydrophobic if a water droplet forms beads with a contact angle greater than 150°. Such surfaces repel water, making it difficult to wet as water runs off the surface.

This phenomenon, known as the ‘lotus effect,’ is observed in nature on lotus leaves, duck feathers, and butterfly wings.

Mineral surfaces, like roof tiles treated with Ecoshieldcoating  Water Repellent, exhibit the same water-repellent behavior, causing water to form droplets and slide off without penetrating the surface. 

Breathable

Roof tile sealers typically create a waterproof film on the surface, sealing it. However, Ecoshieldcoating Water Repellent stands out because it allows the building or roof to breathe freely without restricting air and moisture escape. It boasts an impressive SD (breathability rating) of 0.03, far below the 0.50 threshold for breathable coatings.

By enabling a roof to breathe, Ecoshieldcoating Water Repellent improves its insulation properties. Even a mere 5% moisture content in building materials can reduce thermal resistance by up to 50%. If a roof tile lacks breathability, moisture buildup underneath the surface can cause irreversible damage to the tiles.  

Keep The Property Clean & Attractive

  • Utilizes superior technology, inspired by the lotus leaf, to achieve a super hydrophobic effect, making roof tiles self-cleaning.
  • Dirt and water are repelled, ensuring dirt particles simply flow off with rainfall.
  • Helps prevent discolouration and salt efflorescence.
  • Discourages the growth of algae, lichens, or moss on roof tiles.
