Surface Preparation
Read entire label before using. Use only as directed. Engineered stone may vary by manufacturer. Always test in a small inconspicuous area with a 24-hour cure time to determine ease of application and desired results. Allow new grout installations to cure for a minimum of 72 hours prior to application or use as a pregrout sealer on porous unglazed or honed porcelain tile to prevent potential grout staining. Make sure surface is clean and free of waxes and coatings. STONETECH® Quartz & Porcelain Tile Sealer may be applied to damp surfaces one hour after standing water has been removed. Surface temperature should be between 50°F– 80°F (10°C–27°C). Ensure that the area is wellventilated during application and until the surface is dry. Keep children and pets out of the area until treated surfaces is dry.
Application
- Ensure cap is closed and sealed, and shake well before use.
- Mask off surfaces not intended to be treated.
- Liberally apply an even coat of STONETECH Quartz & Porcelain Tile Sealer using a paint pad, roller, brush or low-pressure sprayer.
- Allow sealer to penetrate the surface for 10– 15 minutes. During this time, keep the surface wet with sealer, adding more sealer as needed. Do Not Allow Sealer to Completely Dry on the Surface
- .Thoroughly wipe dry the entire surface with clean absorbent towels.
- A second coat may be needed for porous, absorbent surfaces. If a second coat is required, it should be applied within 30–40 minutes from the initial application as directed in steps 3–5.
- Should a sealer residue appear, rewet the impacted section of the surface with sealer. Agitate the surface with a white nylon scrubbing pad to loosen residue and wipe dry with a clean, absorbent towel.
- If used as a pre-grout sealer, wait 6-8 hours before grouting. A full cure is achieved in 24–72 hours. Use of the treated surface may resume in 6-8 hours. If use of the surface must resume sooner, cover the treated surface with red rosin paper to protect it until full cure is achieved.
- Clean tools used during application with water
Expected Wear
- Up to 5 years on interior surfaces
- Up to 3 years on exterior surfaces
For best results, reapply annually.
- Maintenance
Highly alkaline, acidic, ammoniated, abrasive cleaners are not necessary for daily maintenance and may also degrade the sealer, adversely affecting stain resistance. Engineered stone, tile and natural stone routine cleaning with neutral pH cleaners such as STONETECH Quartz & Tile Cleaner ready to use is recommended. Please note: Prior to using any cleaning material on a tile, stone, etc. installation, test a discrete area or scrap piece of tile to insure desired results.
