Powafix Hydrofix Water Repellent Overview
Powafix Hydrofix is a clear, water-based masonry sealer formulated to protect cement-based surfaces from moisture damage. It penetrates deeply into porous substrates, creating a hydrophobic barrier that prevents water absorption. This coating also inhibits algae and fungal growth, helping maintain the appearance and integrity of exterior surfaces. Suitable for use on cement paving, concrete fences, gypsum plaster, and cladding, Hydrofix offers a single-coat solution for long-term protection.
