Features & Benefits

Surfaces Where PLUS Excels
  • Surfaces Exposed to Oils: PLUS is oleophobic, meaning it resists the absorption of oils. Countertops, Grill Areas, Driveways, Kitchen Floors, Backsplash, and Showers are all areas which are exposed to oils on a regular basis. 
  • Surfaces That Get Wet Frequently:  PLUS is a non film forming water repellant. This allows water vapor to breath out of the stone from below, while repelling water molecules from the surface. Pool decks, tiled showers, bathrooms, grout, countertops, and any natural stone outdoor application, which is frequently exposed to water and moisture, is an ideal area for PLUS. impregnating sealer.
  • Polished or Dense Surfaces: On very dense and polished surfaces where bonding can be an issue, impregnating sealers will perform best. Polished granite and marble are ideal areas to use impregnating sealers. 

Applications & Uses

Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
Recommended Surfaces
  • Concrete
  • Travertine
  • Granite
  • Unglazed Tile
  • Marble
  • Stone, Brick, & Clay Pavers
  • Grout Joints
Coverage
  • For very porous surfaces: 1st coat: 100-200 sq. ft./gallon. 2nd coat 250-400 sq. ft./gallon.
  • For average density surfaces: 1st coat: 200-300 sq. ft./gallon. 2nd coat 400+ sq. ft./gallon
  • For very dense surfaces: 1.5x avg. density coverage. Generally, the sealer will go twice as far on the 2nd coat as it did on the 1st coat. The second coat can be applied immediately after the first.
Surface Preparation

Always be sure surface is clean, dry, and free from any dirt, grease, oil, wax, or other contaminant. Read the entire label before using. Use only as directed. Always test on a small piece of material or a small inconspicuous area to determine suitability. Ensure the area is well ventilated. Ideal surface temperature should be between 60°F and 80°F. Product works best when it is the first substance applied to the surface, insuring proper penetration.

Applications
  • PLUS may be applied with spray applicator, brush, roller, or lint free rag. Avoid puddles by wiping up excess.
  • For Sealing Grout Joints: Apply to joint with small brush or squeeze bottle. Allow to soak 10-15 mins. Wipe off excess from tile surface.
  • Do not leave voids and puddles. PLUS cures completely in 2-7 days.
  • High traffic areas can easily be spot treated when required because PLUS does not build up or alter the appearance of the surface.
