CONCRETE & STONEWORK HARD LANDSCAPE CARE COVERED WITH EXTENDED ECOPROTEC ® RANGE The growing popularity of outdoor living spaces has created new challenges for the landscape sector. In response, LTP has developed three new ECOPROTEC ® treatments to help maintain the appearance and safety of natural and engineered stone surfaces. All treatments are made in the UK and benefit from the most advanced research in water-based technology. ® strength | beauty | resilience For new porcelain pavers, ECOPROTEC ® Porcelain Tile Protector - a water-based ‘pre-and-post-grout’ treatment - creates a barrier, without forming a film or altering appearance. The Protector helps to improve and increase the working time of grouts and jointing compounds. It also greatly reduces the risk of staining. A further coat after installation makes ongoing maintenance easier too, protecting the surface from decaying leaves and foliage. For existing pavers, the range also includes new ECOPROTEC ® Blackstone – a restorer and protector for faded surfaces – and a new acid-replacement trouble-shooter, ECOPROTEC ® Grout & Salt Residue Remover.
