The Product must be stored in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging in dry conditions at temperatures between +5 °C and +40 °C. Always refer to packaging.

Refer to the current Safety Data Sheet for information on safe handling and storage.

Beware of condensation. The substrate and uncured applied product must be at least +3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the surface of the applied product. Low temperatures and high humidity conditions increase the probability of blooming.

For optimal penetration the substrate must be as dry as possible. A slightly damp substrate is acceptable but will reduce penetration.

Whenever a second coat is required, allow the first coat to become touch-dry before applying the second coat.

Note: Recommendations are based on +23 °C and 50 % r.h.Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions, particularly temperature and relative humidity.

Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions, particularly temperature and relative humidity.

Applied to surfaces after grinding or polishing with a 400 grit pad or flat concrete that has been ground and densified.

Note: Consumption data is theoretical and does not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level, wastage or any other variations. Apply the Product to a test area to calculate the exact consumption for the specific substrate conditions and proposed application equipment.

MIXING

• Single-paddle electric mixer (for dilution with water)

APPLICATION

• Masking equipment

• Pump garden sprayer

• Flat microfiber pad or floor wax applicator

• Wet vacuum cleaner

BURNISHING

• High-speed burnishing equipment

• Coarse through super-fine diamond-impregnated polishing disks, beginning with 400 grit and progressively finer disks

• Typical sequences of disks used include 400, 800, 1200, and 3000 grit. Final grit selection will determine the final gloss.

MAINTENANCE

• Cleaning equipment such as rotary brushes, mechanical scrubbers, scrubber dryers, or high-pressure washers

• Detergents and waxes

Surfaces must be sound, clean, free from frost, laitance, surface water, oils, grease, coatings, all loosely adhering particles and other surface contaminants.

FIRST COAT

The Product is supplied ready-to-use.

IMPORTANT: Use the Product within 30 days of opening it. Shake the container well before use.

SECOND COAT OR MAINTENANCE COAT

IMPORTANT: Use the Product within 30 days of opening it. Dilute the Product 1:1 with clean water. Mix the solution with a single-paddle electric mixer until it is homogenous.

IMPORTANT

Ventilation in confined spaces: Always ensure good ventilation when applying the Product in a confined space.

Performance variation: The Product's effectiveness depends on the substrate porosity and absorption, and the treatment during the burnishing and polishing process. This can result in different levels of colour enhancement and stain resistance. In case of any doubts, complete a trial area before fully applying the Product.

SUBSTRATE CONDITION

Surfaces must be densified. If dyes have been used, they must be locked in with a densifier, ground, and polished with at least a high-speed 400 grit diamond-impregnated polishing pad.

1. Mask all areas not to be coated to avoid splashes, overspray, and runoff from the application. Make sure that the tape adhesive does not interfere with the surfaces to be treated.

2. Distribute the Product with a pump garden sprayer to thoroughly saturate the surface. Surfaces wet with material will be slippery until dry.

3. Spread material with a flat microfiber pad or floor wax applicator.

4. If the Product has formed puddles after 30 minutes, dilute them with water and remove with a wet vacuum cleaner.

5. Apply a second coat when the Product is touch-dry. Do not create lap marks, as they are difficult to remove once the Product has dried.

6. When the second coat is dry, begin high-speed burnishing and polishing using abrasive pads with progressively finer grit.

Clean equipment with warm water and detergent immediately after application.
