Nanokote has introduced ProGuard, a new technology coating material developed for application on highly stressed concrete surfaces.
ProGuard is an organometallic hybrid coating, with both organic and inorganic components, according to the Australian industrial coatings manufacturer.
“ProGuard is a decorative protection coating for concrete specifically designed for use in high-traffic areas such as road and rail infrastructure,” the company says in a release. “The coating serves as both an anti-carbonation coating and an anti-graffiti coating, making it a one coating solution for the long-term protection of concrete.”
