Oasis® & Oasis II Protection for Masonry, Brick & Building Surfaces
Choose invisible water-repellent protection with Oasis Transparent or add durable color with Oasis II, a one-coat acrylic system for masonry and wood.
Invisible Protection or Color?
Preserve the Original Look or Transform the Surface
Oasis Transparent and Oasis II serve different purposes. One protects porous masonry while remaining invisible; the other provides colored protection in a one-coat system.
Oasis Transparent
A silicone-resin treatment designed to penetrate porous, unpainted masonry and provide water repellency without changing the visible appearance.
- Transparent after application
- Designed for porous, unpainted masonry
- Helps repel water penetration
- Helps prevent efflorescence
- Apply to dry surfaces
- Dries in approximately 6–12 hours
Oasis II
A colored polyresin acrylic coating designed for brick, concrete block, stucco and wood, providing surface protection and a refreshed finished appearance.
- One-coat application
- No separate primer required
- Eight available colors
- Use on painted or unpainted surfaces
- Can be applied to wet or dry surfaces
- Suitable for masonry and wood
Protect Masonry Without Covering Its Natural Appearance
Brick, stucco, cement and concrete block are porous. Oasis Transparent is designed to penetrate those pores and help repel moisture while remaining visually unobtrusive.
Deep Penetration
Silicone resin penetrates porous masonry rather than relying only on a visible surface film.
Water Repellency
Helps keep water from penetrating porous exterior masonry surfaces.
Efflorescence Protection
Limiting moisture penetration helps reduce conditions associated with visible efflorescence.
Invisible Finish
Designed to protect the masonry without adding a colored painted appearance.
Water Can Enter Masonry Long Before Damage Is Obvious
Brick, stucco, cement and concrete block naturally contain pores that can allow water into the surface.
Oasis Transparent is designed to penetrate that porous surface and provide water repellency while preserving the natural appearance of the material.
Keep the Masonry Looking Like Masonry
When the goal is protection rather than changing the building's appearance, Oasis Transparent provides an alternative to a colored coating.
Coverage Varies With Masonry Porosity
More porous masonry absorbs more material, while smoother surfaces require less.
| Surface | Approximate Coverage |
|---|---|
| Porous Concrete Block | 150 sq. ft. / gallon |
| Brick | 225 sq. ft. / gallon |
| Smooth Masonry | Up to 300 sq. ft. / gallon |
Invisible Protection Without a Painted Finish
PACE lists approximately six to twelve hours of drying time for Oasis Transparent when applied to a dry, unpainted masonry surface.
Add Color and Protection in One Coat
Oasis II combines a polyresin acrylic protective coating with color, allowing masonry and wood surfaces to be refreshed without a separate priming step.
One-Coat System
Designed to provide its finished appearance and protective coating in one application.
No Primer
The existing PACE formulation does not require a separate primer before application.
Wet or Dry Surface
PACE states Oasis II can be applied to either wet or dry surfaces.
Painted or Unpainted
Suitable for both previously painted and unpainted surfaces when properly prepared.
Eight Available Color Options
