Fortifier-Plus-5L

Fortifier Plus™: Impregnating, permanent consolidator and water repellent

Premium protection from water ingress, as well as salt spalling & freeze-thaw spalling. Ideal for salt water pool surrounds, paths, patios and all vertical, outdoor porous surfaces. Fortifier Plus™ has a massive 50% active ingredient level of proprietary mixture of silanes, designed to bond in all natural stone, masonry and concrete to provide optimal water repellence and consolidation.

Impregnating sealer technology

  • Chemforce uses the latest modified silane impregnation technology. Chemforce modified silane molecules are 300-500 times smaller than other penetrating sealer technologies. This allows Chemforce impregnators to penetrate deep into the pore system and line the pores.

  • Chemforce impregnators also make permanent covalent bonds inside the pores, literally becoming part of the molecular matrix of the treated stone or other porous material to create a deep water and / or oil repelling barrier. The deeper penetration and permanent bonding together provide protection against salt spalling, efflorescence and picture framing as well as stain protection.
  • Chemforce impregnators are fully breathable. This means that while it stops water travelling through the treated area as a liquid, the water can evaporate and escape as water vapour (as a gas). This is important so moisture is not trapped inside the substrate.
  • Chemforce impregnators cause negligible change to the slip characteristics and appearance of stones and other porous surfaces (except for our enhancer which is designed to deepen the colour).

This picture was taken after 3 days of rain. The lighter patch of this concrete driveway in Sydney was treated with Fortifier Plus approx. 2 years prior to this picture.

Only a few minutes after the rain stopped the sealed area looked dry as the sealer had created a deep water-repellent barrier which stopped the water soaking into the concrete in that area. It took a few hours for the rest of the driveway to dry out.

Significance: Most people only think about stain protection, but the reality is that stains are the least permanent and easiest form of liquid damage to deal with. The deep water repellent barrier created by Chemforce Modified Silane Impregnators not only provide stain repellence, but also stop water ingress which hinders mould growth and provides protection again picture framing, efflorescence and salt spalling.
