Certi-Vex® Guard Clear

Certi-Vex Guard Clear is an innovative, solvent-based, high gloss, non-yellowing, one step acrylic co-polymer curing compound with a penetrating water repellent silane sealer for use on both new and existing broom finish and decorative concrete. The film forming acrylic cures new concrete to ASTM specifications, while penetrating silane sealer reacts with alkali and moisture within pores and capillaries to form a hydrophobic gel, protecting the concrete from the damaging effects of water and chloride penetration.

This innovative one-step product eliminates the costly removal of curing compounds and time-consuming water curing of new concrete when a protective penetrating water repellent sealer is desired. Once applied, the surface is properly cured and water repellent in one application and puts concrete into service weeks sooner.
