- Applications & Uses
- HydraGuard can be applied in all temperatures, including extreme hot and cold environments.
- HydraGuard can be applied to finished concrete goods at the factory, or at the job site. Compatible with all grout types, the HydraGuard grout release technology makes grout clean-up much easier.
- HydraGuard is water-based with a neutral pH and low VOC. It can be used both indoors and outdoors.
- Directions for use
Shake HydraGuard well before use. Do not dilute. Not for use on wood, plastic, glass, clothes, carpet, or metal. Do not mix with bleach. This product has a milky appearance, which turns clear on drying. Protect from freezing. Works for interior and exterior high use areas.
Application as a crack or floor sealer
(Test in an inconspicuous area prior to use.)
- STOP AND READ Before applying HydraGuard, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of oil, wax, dust, and all efflorescence. If grout is present, allow grout to cure for at least 24 hours prior to application. We offer testing services and aquaTIGHT® EFX, Efflorescence Prep, Seal & Wash for washing blue stone, sand stone, limestone and other natural stone where thinset, mortar and grout has been installed. Grouting and mortar application leaves behind the ingredients necessary to help aid in the promotion of efflorescence. This product kit will help to mitigate existing salt formation and allow it to sequester while sealing.
- All natural stone surfaces cleaned with muriatic acid, sulfamic acid or bleach will have to be washed first with aquaTIGHT® EFX, Efflorescence Prep, Seal & Wash prior to applying HydraGuard. The above cleaner choices promote the growth of efflorescence.
- If set accelerators, such as calcium chloride, were added to the mortar mix, then we recommend aquaTIGHT® EFX, Efflorescence Prep, Seal & Wash prior to applying HydraGuard.
- Thoroughly wet the surfaces with HydraGuard using a rag, sponge, roller or brush to achieve 100 percent surface coverage.
- Before the surface dries, wipe it lightly with a rag or sponge to remove excess HydraGuard. Wait a minimum of 5 minutes before wiping. (If HydraGuard dries before wiping, use a rag and wipe down in any direction.)
- Allow to air dry for at least 10 minutes or until the surface appears to be completely dry.
- Test the surface with water droplets. If water penetrates, repeat steps 2 through 4 until water beads.
- Clean tools by washing with water. Wash exposed skin with soap and water.
- Surfaces may be walked on after one hour without hindering performance.
