Breathable masonry shield that locks out water - ready-to-use, contractor-fast, no film build.
Wet walls, efflorescence calls, freeze–thaw scars, and callbacks burn time and margin. Film-forming sealers peel or gloss out the facade. Solvent systems can choke the wall, smell up the site, and fight you on permits. Crews need a dependable water repellent that penetrates fast, lets vapor out, and doesn’t change the look of brick, block, or concrete.
SaraWest Mineral Guard WB is a water-based, penetrating treatment engineered for mineral substrates. It soaks in, lines capillaries, and sheds rain without trapping moisture. No sheen, no plastic film, and low odor - so interior adjacent operations keep moving. It’s supplied ready-to-use for consistent results across crews and climates, and it plays well with standard low-pressure sprayers or rollers. Expect strong beading, reduced absorption, and easier washdowns season after season.
Made in our 30,000 sq ft facility in Pampa, Texas, Mineral Guard WB comes with nearly 40 years of formulation discipline behind it. We build it clean, batch after batch, then ship in 1.3 gal, 5 gal, and 55 gal formats. Need your brand on the drum? We private-label, match your spec targets, and back it with reliable lead times so you can scale without babysitting a blender.
- Breathable, non-film protection - reduces water uptake without trapping vapor.
- Ready-to-use formula removes dilution errors and jobsite guesswork.
- Low odor, water-based chemistry for occupied buildings and tight sites.
- Deep penetration for durable performance on brick, block, and concrete.
- No color or gloss change on most substrates; maintains natural appearance.
Surface prep: Clean substrate to bare mineral, removing dirt, efflorescence, oils, sealers, and coatings. Allow to dry fully - typically 24 hours after washing. Mask glass, metals, and adjacent surfaces. Always test a small area for penetration and appearance.
Application: Use as supplied - do not dilute. Apply a uniform flood coat by low-pressure sprayer, roller, or brush from the bottom up, maintaining a wet edge. Saturate the surface to refusal and let it absorb for 5–10 minutes. On very porous masonry, apply a second light pass wet-on-wet before the first coat dries. Wipe or back-roll any puddles or runs to prevent residue.
Conditions: Apply when air and surface are 40–90°F. Avoid windy conditions and direct midday sun where possible. Protect from rain for 4–6 hours; rain-safe typically within 2–4 hours at 70°F and 50% RH. Do not apply to painted, sealed, or glazed surfaces. Cleanup with water.
- Reduces liquid water uptake by approximately 70–90% on brick and concrete.
- Rain-safe in 2–4 hours at 70°F, minimizing weather delays and rework risk.
- Typical coverage 100–200 sq ft per gallon, substrate porosity dependent.
- Helps reduce efflorescence occurrence and freeze–thaw spalling over seasons.
- No visible sheen; preserves natural façade appearance after cure.
