Tamala Shield Sealer and Data Sheet

Tamala Shield is specialized water based acrylic emulsion/silicone surface treatment with exceptional binding qualities, designed for the treatment of vertical and horizontal surfaces.

When applied correctly it repels water and is resistant to bacterial and fungal attack, assisting in the retardation of substrate discolouration. It allows the substrate to "breathe" naturally allowing trapped moisture to escape.

The product dries to a clear matt finish, is UV stable and is virtually undetectable upon application. It can last many years when applied correctly and has been used successfully on all Natural Limestone products.
