THE PROJECT:

Fenerbahce Soccer Stadium is the first stadium in Turkey designed and built to international football regulation standards. It is also the first Turkish purpose built soccer stadium, with no surrounding running track, so the crowd can be as close as possible to the action. The stadium needed to be sealed against staining from tens of thousands of fans with food and beverages and weathering, and be as easy as possible to clean.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

Being a public venue and a high traffic venue, the project had a number of specific
requirements:

• No change to the slip resistance of the concrete. 
• Must resist water and oil-based staining. 
• Long lasting. 
• Quick to apply. 
• Sealer must withstand high traffic, weathering and commercial cleaning. 
• Must be graffiti resistant.

THE STAIN-PROOF^® SOLUTION:

STAIN-PROOF Premium Impregnating Sealer, formerly known as STAIN-PROOF Original™, was an easy choice for the building project managers. STAIN-PROOF’s unique sealing technology means Premium Impregnating Sealer penetrates deeper and bonds permanently within the material, creating a deep ultra long life barrier of protection within the concrete. Because Premium Impregnating Sealer forms a proper chemical bond within the material, it is able to stand up to wear and commercial cleaning techniques like pressure washing, and lasts many times longer than other sealers. Premium Impregnating Sealer can attract a 15 year performance warranty when the treatment is performed by a STAIN-PROOF Accredited Applicator. This makes Premium Impregnating Sealer by far the best and most cost effective long-term solution. Premium Impregnating Sealer does not change the slip resistance or look of the material, protects the surface from salt efflorescence, water ingress, freeze-thaw damage and both oil and water based staining. The stadium has been sealed for 3 years and the sealer continues to perform.
