PRODUCT SPECIFICATION SHEET DRY-TREAT 40SK

1 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION SHEET . 40SK CONSOLIDATOR & WATER. REPELLENT. PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS DRY-TREAT 40SK . PREVIOUS. 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent is an impregnating, invisible PACKAGING. and breathable sealer that protects porous tile, natural stone, brick, terracotta, paving and grout from damage caused by water and salts, plus helps to consolidate friable surfaces. Treated indoor and outdoor surfaces become easier to clean, maintain and keep looking good for longer. 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent provides lasting protection for engineering concrete, terracotta tile, cast stone, paving, sandstone, limestone, brick and grout. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS HOW TO USE. 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent is suitable for a 1. ALWAYS TEST PRODUCT ON A SMALL AREA FIRST and allow a 24 hour cure time wide variety of applications, including building facades, to determine the ease of application and desired results.

2 Floors, walls, swimming pool surrounds, patios, garages, 2. Ensure surfaces to be treated are dry, clean and free of residues. kitchens and public and private entertaining areas. 3. PRODUCT is to be applied without thinning. BENEFITS 4. Generously saturate the surface with PRODUCT using a low-pressure hand sprayer, a clean Penetrating, long lasting water repellency brush, or similar. Surface should have a mirror-like wet look for 3-5 seconds. Avoid contact plus consolidation of softer materials, for with surrounding areas. premium protection against problems caused 5. After 10 minutes, repeat Step 4. Total application rate is approximately one liter per - by water and water borne salts, including: 4 sq. meters (5 to 40 sq. feet per quart) depending on absorption.

3 Efflorescence, salt spalling, freeze-thaw spalling and picture framing 6. Allow 10 minutes for PRODUCT to penetrate surface then polish surface with a clean white dry cloth to remove excess PRODUCT . Do not allow excess PRODUCT to dry on the surface. Popular for sealing sandstone, limestone, travertine, concrete dry-stamped pavers and 7. Clean equipment with organic solvent methylated spirits. composite stone pavers around salt water 8. Sealer will not prevent surface etching, scuff marks or wear and may lighten or darken some swimming pools surfaces. It is recommended that for sandstone or limestone in a salt water environment ( Retains natural surface color and finish a pool coping) the entire coping should be dipped sealed with 40SK Consolidator & Water Keeps surfaces looking new for longer, makes Repellent and allowed to cure for 14 days before the stone is put into service.

4 Please note that cleaning easier, and dries quickly even after the underside of the treated stone will become repellent and a Premium Polymer Thinset or heavy rain special adhesive such as Davco SE-7 mixed with Davelastic or, Bostik Landscape Adhesive or in the USA Ardex 77, Ardex 78 or Ardex 32 and Ardex FL or WA Grout is recommended Breathable: water vapor escapes freely, to fix the stone. avoiding moisture build-up inside the material Designed for indoor and outdoor surfaces VOC CONTENT.

6 1. TESTING 6. 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent should NOT be applied over a previously sealed surface 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent must be allowed to cure for at least 3. weeks (and ideally 4 weeks) before undertaking water repellency, depth of Although 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent can penetrate through other penetration and strength testing. penetrating / impregnating sealers to some extent, it will not penetrate as much as it does on an unsealed surface, and will not be effective. The consolidator component Achieving optimum water repellency and consolidation strength especially will not penetrate enough. With 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent, 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent undergoes 2 different types achieving maximum penetration is crucial for protection, so it is necessary to grind of curing.

7 The specially designed sealing molecules migrate through previously sealed surfaces before applying 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent. the pores and find sites to bond by a process of chemical reaction, Note: penetrating / impregnating sealers should never be applied over a topical over 3 to 4 weeks! As more sealing molecules bond inside the pores, (coating) sealer. the material becomes more water-repellent. At the same time, the consolidating component of 40SK forms a network inside the treated material which helps to consolidate and strengthen it, making it less 7. Applying 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent on vertical surfaces friable and less prone to spalling. This consolidating network can take up to 4 weeks to fully form. On vertical surfaces you have much less dwell time than on horizontal surfaces as a liquid sealer will run down the wall if a substantial amount is applied.

8 Dwell time Achieving maximum depth of penetration. is especially important for 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent as an excellent The modified silane molecules in 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent depth of penetration is required to protect against salt spalling and freeze-thaw are hundreds of times smaller than the best modern competitor spalling. The way to do this is to apply 4 light coats of 40SK Consolidator & Water (fluoropolymer /siloxane) sealers, which cannot penetrate into the Repellent instead of 2 generous coats. Apply each successive coat before the pore structure of most materials. It is important to apply the second previous one dries (wet-on-wet, approximately 10 minutes between coats). Place coat of 40SK while the first coat is still wet to aid penetration.

9 Once tarp or plastic sheets below to catch the excess drips. applied, the sealing molecules will continue to migrate deeper into the material and bond inside the pores, reaching optimum penetration in approximately 4 weeks. CAUTIONS. DANGER: Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. May damage fertility 2. CAUTION or unborn child. Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. 40SK Consolidator & Water Repellent is designed for use on very porous PRECAUTIONS: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot new surfaces in salt water environments, but can be used on more dense surfaces. No smoking. Do not handle until all safety precautions have surfaces as a long lasting super penetrating water repellent.

Also, exercise extreme caution when using the PRODUCT on old surfaces already saturated with salts as the salts may build up below the treatment and spall the surface.
