PROSOCO-approved Application Method
Lucid Bots is an approved application method by PROSOCO, the industry's most recognized concrete repellent manufacturer. When you show up with the Shield Payload, your customer already trusts the chemistry.
Consistent Pressure at Any Altitude
An onboard pressure regulator ensures nozzle pressure remains constant regardless of altitude. The Shield Payload maintains the pressure you set from ground level to 140 ft without manual adjustment.
Modular Design
The Sherpa Drone is the only exterior cleaning drone with a modular payload for repellents and coatings. If you are already out there cleaning, come back the next day and charge 2x more per sqft on the same surface.
Consistent Coverage
The extended carbon-fiber lance and built-in collision prevention system automatically maintain the optimal 2-3 ft standoff distance from any surface. This ensures consistent coverage and prevents over-spray while eliminating the risk of costly collisions with facades.
Anywhere There's Porous Masonry.
Bridge pylons, decks, and retaining walls are mandated for periodic sealing under most government maintenance contracts.
Stadiums and Large Venues
Concrete facades, walkways, and structural elements at stadiums and arenas offer large, high-value surface areas.
Building Restoration
Masonry restoration and water repelling contractors already use siloxane sealers on every commercial job.
Parking Structures
Multi-level concrete garages need regular sealing to resist freeze-thaw damage, water intrusion, and de-icing salts.
Water Towers
Concrete water towers require application of water repellents to maintain structural integrity and prevent damage over time.
Commercial and Industrial Campuses
Data centers, manufacturing facilities, and commercial office campuses have extensive concrete exteriors.

FAQ
What does the ground pump setup look like, and will it work with my existing softwash equipment?
The included pump skid is a self-contained electric system with a 25-gallon tank. Fill it with your repellent Connect the Flexzilla hose to the payload via the 1/4" quick-connect. set the onboard pressure to your sealer's spec (typically 40-50 PSI), and you're ready to fly. One person can run the ground setup while the pilot flies. Note that this will require a separate pump from your traditional softwash setup, as the system needs to meet specific requirements: an output pressure of 130–160 PSI and a flow rate of 1.8 GPM, typically a DC electric pump.
What repellant does Lucid Bots recommend?
PROSOCO Siloxane WB Concentrate is the primary recommended product, Lucid Bots is an approved application method by PROSOCO. The payload is also compatible with silane/siloxane sealers from other manufacturers, as well as concrete curing agents, corrosion inhibitors, and fungicide/algaecide treatments. Always check the manufacturer's TDS for specific application guidance.
Does the surface need prep before treatment?
Yes, the surface must be clean, dry, and free of existing coatings or films. New concrete needs 28 days to cure. Surface temperature should be between 40–90°F during application.
Will pressure washing remove the repellent?
No, Silane-siloxane repellents chemically bonds below the surface rather than forming a film on top. Routine pressure washing for cleaning is safe and will not remove the treatment.
Do repellents and coatings reduce how often the surface needs cleaning?
Yes, by closing the pores, dirt and contaminants sit on top of the concrete instead of penetrating it,making future cleaning faster, easier, and less frequent.
Can I clean and treat on the same visit?
No, cleaning and treating are separate visits. The surface to be treated must be clean and free of all foreign matter and as dry as possible to ensure proper penetration of water repellent treatment. You should wait at least 24 hours after cleaning to apply repellent. More porous materials absorb more water and require more dry time. Dense surfaces dry faster. Factor this into your bid timeline.
What surfaces can the Shield Payload treat?
Depends on the repellant being applied, however, PROSOCO’s Sure Klean® Weather Seal Siloxane WB can be applied to architectural concrete block, concrete, fired clay, and sandstone. Always check the repellant’s data sheet before applying. PROSOCO’s Sure Klean® Weather Seal Siloxane WB is not appropriate for use on limestone, marble, travertine or other calcareous stones. PROSOCO’s Sure Klean® Weather Seal Siloxane WB permanently damages glass if applied directly. Always identify window exposure on-site before flying.
