Increase strength & wear resistance – Increase longevity of building surfaces & materials
There is an increasing need to protect building surfaces from decay and make surfaces stronger. Prebona’s hydrophilic formulations provide effective and lasting protection against building material decay that other methods, such as conventional hydrophobic treatments, do not offer.
User Areas
Facades
Roofs
Monuments
Walls
Building materials such as concrete, stone, stucco, and brick.
Improve strength & durability
Increase longevity
Reduce decay
What makes us different?
Patented & Scientifically Proven Effect
It becomes fully integrated with the surface & creates a gridlike structure, providing the material with long-lasting protection up to several years.
Natural Ingredients
Our formulations are inorganic & water-based, which after drying forms a chemically inert, highly stable, and durable protection against the decay of building material surfaces. Without the use of harmful chemicals
Cost-Effective
Prebona’s unique technology allows us to use active ingredients hundreds of times more efficiently than competitive technologies. Leading to better results, using less resources.
Easy Application

How does it work?
Through our patented technology, Prebona CompoTech, we modify silica with functional atoms providing superior solutions that address specific needs in society and industries. Including improvement of strength & durability on building surfaces.
To produce products based on Prebona CompoTech, we start with silica particles of well-defined size dispersed in water. The surface of the silica particles is modified with a coupling agent to enable the absorption of atoms with specific properties, e.g. to help treat and preserve various surfaces. By absorbing active atoms on the surface of silica particles, we use the active substance extremely efficiently which saves money and the environment! Prebona CompoTech offers tremendous opportunities to improve cost efficiency in many applications.
The product works in 3 steps.
STAGE 1
Untreated surface has cracks and pores where dirt accumulate. Cracks and pores are also weak spots where deteriration of surface starts.
STAGE 2
Prebona SurfaceCare product is applied to surface and starts to fill cracks and pores.
STAGE 3
Surface is now saturated with silica and cracks and pores are completely filled providing a strong and durable surface that is soil repelling.
Testimonials
Prebona DuraClean Forte provides long-lasting protection, dirt repellency & anti-fouling on a concrete wall in Lund, Sweden.
“The result after treating the wall with Prebona DuraClean was great, and the long-term effect after four years exceeded already high expectations,” says Anders Grönvall, Property Manager at Wihlborgs Fastigheter Ab”
“This curb is just one example of the long-term effect of Prebona DuraClean Forte on common building surfaces. Helping the surface stay cleaner, longer. Less maintenance cost, and less cost for the environment” says Orvar Otterstedt, COO at Prebona
“To us, it was important that the treatment strengthened the material, and thus increased the longevity of the surface. Eventually, We will repaint the roofs in a few years and the job will already be half-done after treatment with Prebona DuraClean Forte” says the President of the Board
“After spending a lot of time & money cleaning the roof, one can only hope for it to remain clean for many years. Prebona DuraClean Forte helps keep it cleaner, longer while minimizing maintenance cost and impact on the environment”
“When the roof is cleaned & treated with Prebona DuraClean Forte it will stay cleaner, longer. Without having to replace the roof. Reducing maintenance cost, and the cost of the environment” says home owner.
“After having spent a lot of time cleaning the roof, we wanted to ensure the roof remains clean for many years without affecting the environment. Prebona DuraClean was the only product that offered this solution” says the owner of the house.
The monument is exposed to warm, cold & wet weather and thus prone to dirt and pollution buildup.

“The roof has remained perfectly clean for over four years since the treatment with Prebona DuraClean. And no manual maintenance has been needed” says the owner, Sven-Erland Svensson
In spring 2016 a plastered facade in Simrishamn, Sweden was cleaned and partially treated with Prebona DuraClean Forte.
In 2020, the long-term effect was reviewed and the treated surface remains clean & in excellent condition, with no manual maintenance.
During a test, Prebona DuraClean Forte was applied to the left side of the roof tiles. After four years, the long-term effect of Prebona DuraClean forte was reviewed. Thanks to its unique dirt repellent, self-cleaning & anti-fouling capabilities – the surface had remained cleaner, longer.
