DESCRIPTION: 

GUARDSEAL is a combination of medium to hard thermoplastic copolymer resins formulated with a special blend of aromatic solvents. GUARDSEAL is fast drying, has excellent resistance to water, alkalis, mild chemicals, rubber migration and excellent weathering and UV resistance. 

GUARD-SEAL is available in clear or coloured finishes in both GUARDSEAL (standard) and GUARDSEAL P.G/ (penetrating grade) grades. 

PURPOSE: 

To provide an economical, hard wearing surface finish to new or old, plain or coloured concrete and masonry surfaces. 
To penetrate and seal the surface to prevent dusting, resist staining, reduce corrosion and generally enhance the surface appearance. The faster than normal drying characteristics of GUARDSEAL allow treated surfaces to be used earlier. 

TYPICAL USES: 

FLOORS: CAR PARK FLOORS, GARAGE WORKSHOPS, WAREHOUSE AND SHOWROOM FLOORS, STORAGE DEPOT, CONCRETE PAVERS, FOOD PROCESSING AREAS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 

WALLS: To protect plain or painted surfaces from grease, oils, fats, inks and many other substances. To waterproof concrete or masonry walls against wind driven rain. 

BENEFITS: 

ONE PART, READY TO USE, FAST DRYING, HARD WEARING, EASE OF APPLICATION, LONG WEARING, EXCELLENT RECOATABILITY, EXCELLENT WEATHER AND UV RESISTANCE, RESTORES COLOUR TO FADED SURFACES, RESISTS STAINING, MAKES SURFACES EASIER TO CLEAN AND LESS EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN. 

LIMITATIONS: 

Not recommended for use over surfaces which have been subjected to waxes, polishes or grease without proper pre-treatment. Smooth or non-absorbent concrete surfaces will create a slippery floor and should be acid etched and dried prior to application. Alternatively the application of UNI-GRIT in a three coat GUARDSEAL application will provide a non-slip finish. Do not apply GUARDSEAL to wet or damp surfaces or surfaces subject to rising damp. 

SURFACE PREPARATION: 

Area to be treated must be clean, dry and free form oil, grease and other contaminants. Surfaces cured with curing compounds other than CURE-CRETE.A., or the equivalent, are generally non compatible with surface finishes and must be removed prior to application of the sealer. 

APPLICATION: 

GUARD-SEAL can be applied by brush, roller or low pressure spray. Airless spray applications should be at minimal pressure to avoid cob-webbing, the effective coverage of GUARDSEAL is greatly dependent upon the application technique and surface porosity. On sound clean concrete GUARDSEAL should be applied at a minimum rate of 4m² per litre. Thinning of GUARDSEAL is not permissible. 

WALLS: Apply two coats of GUARDSEAL at the rate of 8m² per litre per coat. FLOORS: Application by brush or roller will require a two coat treatment to ensure the correct coverage of 4m² per litre is achieved. Application over plain, uncoloured concrete by spray can be achieved in one coat, dependent on porosity. 

COLOURED AND DENSE CONCRETE: Apply two coats of GUARDSEAL P.G/ at the rate of 6m² per litre per coat. SERVICE FLOORS: Workshop type applications will require the application of one coat of GUARDSEAL P.G. at the rate of 6m² per litre followed by one coat of GUARDSEAL (standard) at the rate of 8m² per litre.

PRECAUTIONS:

GUARDSEAL is highly flammable, keep containers closed when not in use, keep away from heat, sparks or open flame. Adequate ventilation must be provided.

SHIPPING IDENTIFICATION:

Resin solution in flammable liquid. Group 3. UN No 1866 - HAZCHEM 3YE.

FIRST AID:

If affected by vapour, remove from contaminated area. If splashed in eyes, flush with water immediately until irritation subsides. If swallowed do not induce vomiting, give plenty of water or milk. Seek medical attention.

PACKAGING:

GUARDSEAL Clear is available in sealed 4Ltr, 20Ltr and 200Ltr drums. Coloured GUARDSEAL is only available in 4Ltr and 20Ltr drums.
