Protect Your Pavers & Benchtops

From sealing marble benchtops to protecting outdoor pavers and maintaining alfresco areas, stains can quietly compromise the appearance of masonry surfaces. Oil, grease, food spills, and timber runoff penetrate permeable surfaces—leaving marks that are hard to remove and even harder to ignore.

Stain-resistant masonry sealers play an important role in maintaining the durability, cleanliness, and appearance of surfaces over time. Tech-Dry has supported a wide range of projects—helping homeowners, tradespeople, and builders manage stains before they escalate into more serious issues.

Why Stain Resistance Matters for Masonry Surfaces

Stains aren’t just cosmetic. When contaminants and moisture seep into permeable materials like concrete, brick, and natural stone, they can:

• Make surfaces look dirty or prematurely aged
• Trap grime and bacteria, creating hygiene or slip hazards
• Lead to surface deterioration over time
• Lower property value and increase maintenance costs

From BBQ grease on paving to turmeric on benchtops, the most common offenders are oil- and water-based contaminants. A quality penetrating sealer stops these stains from soaking in.

What Is PROTECTASEAL S—and Why It Works

PROTECTASEAL S is Tech-Dry’s leading penetrating masonry sealer for long-term stain resistance. It protects surfaces against:

• Oil and grease stains
• Water damage and organic runoff
• Food and drink spills

Unlike surface coatings that can peel, flake, or create a slippery film, PROTECTASEAL S penetrates deep into the material. It forms an invisible barrier that repels contaminants while maintaining the surface’s natural colour and texture.

Ideal for Kitchen Benchtops

Marble and granite benchtops are stunning but can absorb oils or food stains if unsealed. PROTECTASEAL S reduces staining, makes cleanup easier, and preserves the appearance of benchtops.th (Note: penetrating sealers don’t prevent acid etching from lemon juice, vinegar, or other acidic substances—wipe these up promptly.)

Perfect for BBQ Areas and Outdoor Paving

Outdoor entertaining spaces are magnets for grease, sauce, and timber runoff. By sealing pavers and masonry around BBQ zones, PROTECTASEAL S keeps them looking fresh, even after heavy use.

Common Questions About PROTECTASEAL S

Will It Change the Look of my Surface? 

In most cases, no. PROTECTASEAL S is designed to preserve the natural colour and texture. Some darker or coloured materials may deepen slightly—always test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Is It Slippery? 

No. Because PROTECTASEAL S penetrates below the surface, it doesn’t create a film, so the original texture and slip resistance remain intact—even when wet.

How Long Does It Last? 

Expect 3–5 years of protection under typical conditions. High-use or commercial areas may need touch-ups sooner, depending on UV exposure, foot traffic, and cleaning practices.

What Surfaces Can I Use It On? 

PROTECTASEAL S works on most masonry, including:

• Concrete and brick
• Natural stone
• Marble and granite

Already Got Stains? Use NO MORE STAINS

Timber runoff, food spills, and organic residues can leave visible marks on masonry and concrete surfaces. NO MORE STAINS is formulated to target timber-related discolouration and assist in lifting certain oil and food-based stains. For deeper or more persistent staining, multiple applications or professional cleaning may be necessary. Following treatment, applying PROTECTASEAL S helps guard against future staining and supports long-term surface protection.

Protect Now, Save Later

Selecting an appropriate masonry sealer is a practical step toward reducing future maintenance time, costs, and complications. PROTECTASEAL S and NO MORE STAINS are designed to work in tandem—one formulated for effective cleaning, the other for long-term protection—helping surfaces maintain their appearance and durability over time.
