Note: Coverage rates are intended as a guideline only. The texture and absorption characteristics of the surface will determine the actual coverage rate. Over-use may result in the formation of an undesirable surface film.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface cleanliness critical to the final appearance of a substrate treated with Westox Stain Shield. All oil, grease, form release agents and air pollution deposits must be removed prior to application. New concrete or masonry restoration work must reach full 28 day cure strength before application. Allow 48 hours drying after pressure cleaning or rain before application.
APPLICATION
Westox Stain Shield is a single component solution and ready to use from the container. To ensure best application, the substrate surface temperature should be above 5°c and below 35°c. (Coverage will depend on the porosity of the substrate.)
Apply in a uniform manner in sufficient quantity to completely wet out the substrate.
Overlap each pass to avoid gaps and areas of insufficient
coverage. Then apply the second coat of
stain shield while the first coat is still damp. Note: Colour enhancement or
darkening may occur on some material. A
small test area should be applied and approved prior to full application.
STAIN REMOVAL
Stain Shield is formulated to allow for the prompt removal of stains. Small minor stains can be wiped off using a dry cloth or removed by using an absorbent material. Water blasting and steam cleaning may be used in conjunction with an alkaline degreaser cleaning agent on large areas or more stubborn stains.
Stains must be removed as soon as possible.
CLEAN UP
Clean tools and equipment immediately after use in white spirit.
