Preventing Mould on Mineral Surfaces with MineralProtect
Mould spreads fast on porous materials like stone and concrete. JUMBOGUARD™ nano technology forms an invisible barrier that blocks moisture and slows decay — keeping mineral surfaces cleaner, drier, and mould-free for longer in Western Australia’s harsh climate.
Why mould forms on mineral surfaces
Mould is a living fungus that spreads quickly anywhere moisture and organic matter exist. On absorbent materials like limestone, concrete, and unsealed grout, water seeps in efficiently — providing the perfect breeding ground for spores. In just 24 to 48 hours, damp conditions can lead to visible colonies of mould, mildew, or algae.
The real-world problem
Bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor paving are constant targets, but so are harder-to-maintain areas like rooftops, facades, and public spaces. Once mould sets in, it discolours surfaces, breaks down structural integrity, and releases spores that affect air quality and health.
The science of nano protection
Traditional sealants may temporarily block water, but they degrade quickly under UV and weather exposure. Nano-coatings, by contrast, use organosilane chemistry to bond at a molecular level with the surface itself. This creates an invisible, breathable barrier that repels water, oil, and organic contaminants — without altering the material's texture or colour.
How JUMBOGUARD™ technology works
COMPLETEPROTECT uses MINERALPROTECT™ — an industrial-grade nano-coating engineered for porous substrates. Once applied, it forms a hydrophobic and oleophobic layer that prevents water absorption and reduces the conditions under which mould can grow. Because the coating penetrates the surface, it protects even under heavy rain, in shade, or in high humidity.
Applications across the home and industry
The same technology that protects residential stone bench tops and paving is now being used by builders, restorers, and maintenance contractors to protect large-scale assets:
- Architectural facades and stonework: Keeps historic or decorative surfaces free from algae and weather staining.
- Roof tiles and concrete structures: Reduce water ingress and damp formation.
- Public spaces and monuments: Minimise maintenance while preserving natural appearance.
Long-term benefits
By creating a durable moisture barrier, COMPLETEPROTECT significantly extends the lifespan of mineral surfaces while reducing maintenance costs and cleaning frequency. The hydrophobic layer ensures rainwater naturally sheets off, carrying dirt and organic matter with it — keeping surfaces cleaner for longer and dramatically reducing the recurrence of mould.
Proven protection in harsh conditions
JUMBOGUARD™ coatings have been performance-tested in accordance with ASTM D3273-00, the international standard for resistance to mould growth on coated surfaces. The results confirm strong mildew resistance and long-term hydrophobic stability — even under high humidity and heat exposure.
Cleaner surfaces, lower maintenance, healthier environments
Beyond appearance, preventing mould growth protects human health by improving indoor air quality and reducing allergen exposure. With COMPLETEPROTECT, homeowners, facility managers, and contractors can achieve cleaner, safer environments without constant reapplication or the use of chemical cleaners.
