Dulux Trade Plus Smartshield+

Dulux Trade Plus SmartShield+ is an exterior waterproofing coating that has been specifically formulated to reduce water ingress into substrates without sealing the surface, helping substrates breathe and dry-out, maximizing their thermal efficiency. SmartShield+ provides invisible protection from water and freeze thaw cycle helping building exteriors maintain their natural beauty. Its low viscosity formulation enables efficient spray application across previously unsealed and undecorated substrates. It is water-based, has a low odour and is quick drying. It is suitable for use on unsealed and undecorated brick, concrete, cellular concrete, masonry, natural stone, cement, stucco/ render. It can be overcoated with masonry paints after a period of at least six months. It is not suitable for use on previously decorated or sealed surfaces.
