BASF has rolled out a new hydrophobic protective coating engineered to protect vertical concrete, concrete masonry units (CMU), and masonry.

MasterProtect C 350 is a water-based, 100 percent acrylic coating that repels water and dirt, helping to reduce exterior maintenance costs and keep facades looking attractive.
