PERMA-GUARD
™
MOLD & MILDEW-PROOF™* INTERIOR SEALER
Technical Data Bulletin
Description
PERMA-GUARD is a high performance acrylic interior sealer uniquely formulated to protect
interior surfaces while preventing mold & mildew growth on the coating film for FIVE YEARS.
PERMA-GUARD passes severe ASTM D5590 and D3273 tests even when subjected to
combined strains of mold & mildew spores. PERMA-GUARD produces a tough, durable finish
that withstands moisture and resists dirt pickup – protecting and restoring the soundness of
new, aged or recoverable water damaged material against mold and moisture. PERMAGUARD delivers outstanding
adhesion, moisture resistance, and easy soap and water clean up. It is low odor, fast drying (recoat in 2 hours), spatter-
resistant and non-corrosive to metal. The clear finish coat has a slight haze allowing the original condition of the surface
to be visible, while remaining aesthetically inconspicuous. Ideal for New Construction, Disaster Restoration, Remodeling
or IAQ Remediation projects.
