Limitations

• Do not allow sealer to come in contact with any non-recommended surface.
• Apply only when the ambient temperature is between 50 °F – 90 °F (10 °C – 32 °C). Contact Technical Services when surface temperatures are extreme.
• If the product is allowed to dry on the surface, a white film may form. If this occurs, scrub with Aqua Mix® NanoScrub® and a white nylon pad.
• The sealer will not prevent surface wear or etching from acids or caustic chemicals.

Surface Preparation

The surface should be dry, clean and free of waxes, sealers or finishes. New installations need to be dry 24 hours before application. Protect surrounding surfaces. Test product in an inconspicuous area to ensure desirable results. The Stone, Tile or Grout must be dry prior to applying sealer – the following document explains in detail the definition of the term “dry” as it relates to sealer application.

Procedure

• Always test a small area first to ensure satisfactory results.
• Apply using a pump sprayer, paint pad applicator, lambswool applicator, sponge or brush.
• Allow it to penetrate for up to 5 minutes, if the surface is drying within 5 minutes, apply more sealer to keep surface wet for up to 5 minutes.
• Wipe surface completely dry using clean, dry cotton, paper or microfiber towels after each application. Ensure no sealer is allowed to dry on the surface.
• Porous surfaces may require additional applications.
• Conduct a test to see if the surface is completely sealed after 2 hours by applying drops of water on the surface. If it penetrates, an additional application is required.

Routine Cleaning:

Regular cleaning should consist of a regular mop or light scrub with a pH neutral detergent, or Aqua Mix Concentrated Stone & Tile Cleaner at a dilution rate of 1 part product to 80 parts water. Using this product on a regular basis will safely remove soiling and help prevent a stubborn build up without damaging the tile, grout or sealer. This product is a pH Neutral formula and will not harm any other water-safe surfaces.

Heavy-Duty/Periodic Cleaning (residential):

• Pre-wet the floor with Aqua Mix Stone Deep Clean or Aqua Mix Heavy-Duty Tile & Grout Cleaner at a dilution of 6:1, allow the surface to soak for 3-5 minutes keeping wet.
• Then agitate the floor using either an Aqua Mix AquaScrub or rotary floor scrubbing machine.
• Extract liquid off of the floor using either a microfiber mop or a wet vacuum cleaner fitted with a squeegee head.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean potable water. Mop up rinse water off the floor.

Sealer Reapplication: Thoroughly clean the surface using the periodic cleaning method, then reapply sealer following application instructions as per label. No stripping will be required for reapplication. Please review specific sealer data sheets for recommended reapplication period.

Aqua Mix Sealers Notes: All spills should be wiped up immediately to reduce the chances of absorption. It is important that no acidic cleaners or products that contain solvents are used on sealed natural stone.
