COLORFRESH effect - Protective coating for concrete
by Hebau GmbH sets new standards in concrete surface protection. Designed as a penetrating, solvent-free, and non-film-building sealer, it provides concrete surfaces with a permanent wet-look finish – without adding an artificial glossy sheen.
One of the main advantages of COLORFRESH effect is its ability to repel water and dirt while remaining breathable. This ensures that concrete stays protected against moisture, efflorescence, fading, frost damage, and general weathering. Thanks to its UV resistance, surfaces retain their natural appearance for years.
Applicable to both moist and dry concrete, the product is user-friendly and easy to apply, whether by roller, brush, or spray.
It is suitable for a wide range of applications including architectural concrete, precast concrete elements, paving stones, terrazzo, artificial stone, exposed aggregate finishes, acid-etched or sand-blasted surfaces. For architects, engineers, and concrete manufacturers, COLORFRESH effect combines durability with aesthetics. It not only enhances concrete color but also hides surface irregularities, creating a uniform wet-look finish that highlights the beauty of architectural and decorative concrete.
By choosing Hebau GmbH’s COLORFRESH effect, you are investing in a long-lasting, solvent-free protective coating that ensures outstanding performance while supporting sustainable construction practices.
