Application Guide
Tools
Application by spray, brush, broom or roller is suitable.
Coats
The solution should be applied to saturation without pressure and in several (2-4) coats. Remove excess product and do not allow to pool on the surface.
Test Patch
It is essential that you test on Terracotta pavers before using to ensure that the original colour and appearance is unchanged.
The reaction of Silicon Sealer on different brands and batches of pavers will vary greatly and individual jobs should be thoroughly tested before sealing whole jobs.
A number of pavers on every specific job should be individually tested to satisfy the client that the sealed appearance of the Pavers is satisfactory.
Warnings
Do not apply Silicon Sealer late in the day as the risk of surface damage caused by dew and condensation increases.
Sealer affected by moisture may appear milky.
Do not use Silicon Sealer on Bluestone. Refer to AquaStop Silicon Sealer
Mop or broom to remove all excess sealer immediately after application.
Ponding, pooling or runs in the sealer during application may result in a patchy or unattractive appearance.
If ponding occurs mopping or washing immediately with PaveCoat Thinners will disperse the product.
Safety Precautions
Silicon Sealer contains flammable solvents and suitable safety precautions must be taken during handling and application.
Ensure adequate ventilation if applying in enclosed spaces.
Avoid contact with naked flames, sparks, pilot lights and other sources of ignition.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Avoid contact with all forms of glass, including windows or windscreens as the sealer will chemically adhere to the surface and can not be removed.
