TEST FIRST:

Always test first in an inconspicuous area to determine ease of application, coats required, colour stability & desired results. The end user must determine suitability of product for their own use.

PRECAUTIONS & SAFETY DIRECTIONS:

1. Read entire label, SDS and technical bulletin before using;
2. Wear appropriate gloves, skin and eye protection;
3. Use when surface temperature is between 4°C & 32°C;
4. Surface must be clean, dry and free from sealers and coatings;
5. Do NOT allow sealer to drip or leave drip marks on the surface;
6. Do NOT use on the underside of the tile or stone. If six sided/dip sealing is required, then use Ultra-Block;

PREPARATION OF SURFACE:

Use XtremeClean+ as per label instructions to clean and prepare the surface to be sealed.

INSTRUCTIONS – PRE-SEALING:

For quick and easy clean-up after grouting as porous surface may stain during install & grouting.

1. Pre-seal surface before installing or 24 hours after installation
2. Do NOT saturate the open grout joints;
3. Allow minimum 24 hours cure time before grouting;
4. If using dark or contrasting grout, apply Grout Release Pro after AQUA-SEAL GOLD+® has cured, then grout as usual.

INSTRUCTIONS – SEALING:

1. Apply sealer to clean, dry surface using a sealer applicator, pump sprayer, sealer sponge, brush, paint roller or paint pad;
2. Ensure even coat & coverage then work product in thoroughly;
3. After 5-10 minutes, wipe the surface COMPLETELY DRY with absorbent paper or cotton towels to remove any excess;
4. DO NOT ALLOW PRODUCT TO DRY ON THE SURFACE;
5. Repeat this process for each application;

APPLICATION NOTES:

1. For vertical surfaces apply bottom to top and avoid rundown;
2. Porous surfaces will require additional coats. If 2 or more coats are required, allow minimum 30 minutes between coats;
3. 2 hours after final coat, do a test to determine if surface is properly sealed. Apply some water droplets. If water is easily absorbed then apply an additional coat. Wait 2 hours and repeat the test.
4. The surface is ready for light traffic after 2 hours. Keep dry for  minimum 12 hours.  Full cure in 24 hours.

LIMITATIONS:

NOT a waterproofing agent and will NOT prevent surface wear, scuff marks or etching from harsh or acidic products. Spills should be wiped up immediately to help minimise staining.

EXPECTED WEAR:

Will vary depending on surface texture and hardness, traffic wear plus frequency and type of  cleaning products used. Harsh cleaning including pressure washing, high alkaline, acidic or solvent-based cleaners and/or weather exposure will affect wear and performance. High traffic and exterior areas will require more frequent re-application. RE-SEAL AS NECESSARY.

COVERAGE:

Approximately 40-160m² per 4 litre per coat. It will vary depending on the density, porosity, texture and absorption. Also weather conditions, the application method and number of coats required. See table below as a guide (per 4L per coat). Full coverage chart at www.sealersplus.com.au
