- Features
- Semi-penetrating stain protector specifically formulated to protect polished, dyed concrete from oil and water-based stains and acidic etching agents.
- Bonds with the other Ameripolish® components to protect color in slab.
- Ready to use.
- UV stabilizers help protect against fading.
- Creates water resistant barrier to prevent staining, etching, and protect color.
- Color enhancer for polished concrete floors with dye.
- Contains 3D densifier properties to aid in hardening and dust proofing.
- Provides window of opportunity to clean up spills before they stain or etch surface.
- Low-odor, non-flammable, VOC compliant (<5g/L).
Applications & Uses

- Application Method
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Uses
Ideal to be used on new or existing polished concrete.
- Dilution & Coverage
On polished concrete floors, the product will cover approximately 2000 - 2500 sf/gal (49 - 60 m2/L) for each application, depending on the porosity of the concrete. Test areas to determine appropriate application procedure and adjust application rate.
- Preparation
- In most cases, the product will extend protection against color fading or dissipating, due to variables in application, maintenance, and the concrete itself.
- Complete all grinding, coloring, densification, and polishing before applying.
- Thoroughly clean the surface, removing all oil, dirt, laitance, and other contaminants.
- Vacuum and clean surface with auto-scrubber and fresh water.
- Allow to dry thoroughly.
- New concrete should cure for 28 days.
- Product Application
Testing
Prior to starting project, apply Ameripolish® 3D SP™ to sample area of each type of concrete to be treated, using applications procedures proposed for project. Confirm that concrete is receptive to 3D SP™.
Project Conditions
Ambient temperature during application should be 40 - 90 °F (4 - 32 °C).
Equipment
Apply the product using a low pressure sprayer fitted with Green #4 conical mist tip with 4.2 gal/hr flow at 40 psi (15.9 L/hr at 275.8 kPa) and Ameripolish® Microfiber pad.
Application
3D SP™ provides the best protection when applied in two light applications.
- Applicator - Spray and Ameripolish® Microfiber Pad
- Submerge Ameripolish® microfiber mop in 3D SP™ to wet thoroughly. Ring out excess material. Spray a light mist of 3D SP™ onto concrete surface, and immediately spread evenly with Ameripolish® microfiber mop. Apply enough material to attain 100% coverage, without dry streaking or puddling.
- Once dry to a tack-free state, high-speed burnish fitted with 3000 grit or higher pad.
- Apply the second coat using same spray and spread method and allow to dry.
- Once dry to a tack-free state, high-speed burnish fitted with 3000 grit or higher pad.
- Chemical resistance gains strength over time. Avoid exposure to etching agents for 7 days if possible.
- Areas that will be exposed to excessive, ongoing spills may benefit from a third application of 3D SP™ before burnishing. If additional applications are desired, check that work surface is tack-free before proceeding.
- Floor is ready for light foot traffic when 3D SP™ is tackfree; ready for equipment traffic within 24 hours. 3D SP™ cures fully within seven days. However, concrete, even after becoming densified and polished, is still a porous substrate. Densifiers can take up to 2 weeks to attain full densification.
- Clean Up
Clean tools and equipment immediately with water. Always remove rundown and spills immediately.
