Effective for interior and exterior applications. EXPECTED WEAR UP TO 5 YEARS:
Will vary depending on hardness and texture of surface, type of area, surface wear, frequency, and type of maintenance products used.
Weather conditions, harsh cleaning methods, and high-alkaline, acidic, or solvent-based cleaners will affect wear. APPLICATION:
1) Read entire label before using.
2) For new installations, sealer can be applied as soon as 48 hours after grouting.
3) Surface must be clean, dry, and free of existing sealers or coatings.
4) Apply using a sponge, brush, paint pad, cotton towel, or sprayer. NOTE: Be sure any sealer that does not penetrate surface is polished dry off surface within 5 minutes of each application using absorbent paper or cotton towels.
5) If 2 or more coats are applied, allow a minimum of 30 minutes drying time between coats.
6) 2 hours after final coat conduct a test to determine if surface is completely sealed by applying water droplets to the surface. If water is absorbed, apply an additional coat. Wait 2 hours and repeat the test.
7) Ready for surface traffic in 2 hours after final coat. Keep area dry for at least 12 hours. Achieves a full cure in 24 hours.
8) Clean applicator tools with water after each use.
FOR PRE-GROUTING APPLICATION: Apply over clean stone or tile a minimum of 2 hours prior to grouting - follow application procedures above.
MAINTENANCE:
Concentrated Stone & Tile Cleaner, or
AquaKleen is recommended for routine spray and wipe cleaning.NOTES:
