Breakthrough in stain proof sealers opens a path for adding value to surrounds

Builders, architects, landscapers, and DIY homeowners know the frustration all too well: once new pavers are laid around swimming pools, patios, and barbecue areas, that pristine finish rarely lasts. Constant exposure to moisture, food spills, organic matter, and both oil‑ and water‑based contaminants quickly leads to discolouration, mould growth, and a general shift from clean to stained. Watching a freshly completed project deteriorate so rapidly is disappointing for professionals and homeowners alike.

For years, the market for oil‑ and water‑repellent sealers has been dominated by expensive imported products that often fail to deliver long‑term protection. Many of these overseas formulations offer inconsistent performance, limited availability, and higher environmental impact.

Australian‑Made Sealers Engineered for Harsh Conditions

Tech‑Dry’s scientists have spent decades developing a new generation of penetrating sealers designed specifically for Australian conditions. These advanced formulations deliver the performance professionals expect, without the high price tag or supply issues associated with imported products.

Tech‑Dry sealers offer:

• Cost‑effective protection suitable for most residential and commercial projects
• Low or zero VOC formulations for safer application and reduced environmental impact
• Australian manufacturing, ensuring reliable supply and consistent quality
• High water repellency, preventing moisture absorption and mould growth
• High oil repellency, ideal for BBQ areas, driveways, and outdoor kitchens
• Strong resistance to water‑based stains such as wine, coffee, and food spills
• Strong resistance to oil‑based stains including grease and sunscreen
• User‑friendly application with brush, roller, or sprayer

These attributes make Tech‑Dry sealers a trusted choice for protecting pavers, concrete, natural stone, and other porous surfaces exposed to harsh outdoor environments.
