People who
install pools professionally will tell the secret to a great-looking
long-lasting swimming pool lies in the quality of the plaster

beautiful when it is new. However, over the years, your beautiful
pool plaster will etch and corrode, unless it's protected with
SILICONE SHIELD.

investment . In recent years, the study of cement-based pool plaster
materials has yielded some significant improvements - none more
significant the the SILICONE SHIELD plaster additive. The SILICONE
SHIELD modified plaster mix is a patented formula that is out
performing all other pool finishes. On the market for 10 years,
today SILICONE SHIELD plaster is the recognized leader in swimming
pool finishes.
How Silicone
Shield Works
SILICONE SHIELD
preserves the natural beauty of new pool plaster finishes. As
pool finishes without SILICONE SHIELD age, discolor and etch,
the difference in a SILICONE SHIELD pool is truly amazing
SILICONE SHIELD
is a proprietary blend of silicone treated mineral powers that
is added at the jobsite to an-industry-standard cement-based plaster
mix. A plaster mix of White Type I Portland cement, marble aggregate
and SILICONE SHIELD forms an impenetrable surface that is far
more resilient than other mix designs to both the erosive and
corrosive effects of swimming pool water.
Silicone is
a natural deterrent to bacteria and algae growth reducing long
term plaster staining.
The test pool
shown is one year old. It was drained and photograph to evaluate
the performance of the Silicone Shield modified sections of the
pool. The pool was divided into four sections and plastered the
same day using two types of Type I White Portland Cement and two
types of industry standard white aggregate. Silicone Shield was
added to the mixes in sections three and four. The pool was filled
with water and used for one year. The pool water was closely monitored.
The water's chemical balance was kept within NSPI Standards, by
a professional pool service company.
