Nu-Guard® NRG Clear (HPC15) is an energy saving protective coating for use on all types of mineral substrates, including stone, brick, reconstructed stone, blockwork and tiles.

The clear coating deeply impregnates into porous building material and chemically bonds within the capillary pores and to the surface of the substrate.

As well as saving money by reducing energy bills, Nu-Guard® NRG Clear protects building substrates from water ingress even in the harshest climates.

The coating is super hydrophobic providing a self-cleaning mechanism which maintains a building’s aesthetics. Dirt particles are picked up by water droplets formed by rainfall and simply washed off the surface. Due to the micro-nanoscopic architecture of the coating's surfaces, adhesion is minimised and therefore microbes are deprived of their medium. Pollutants, fungal spores and algae are also washed off by rainfall.
