Instaseal 5lit bottle Base Coat Sealer
Description
Instaseal is a tough semi-permanent water-based sealer incorporating modern thermoplastic technology, providing a durable surface for interior or exterior applications. Formulated to protect fine stone flooring, terrazzo, terracotta, and concrete from the detrimental effects of foot traffic and trolleys in busy public areas. Exhibits outstanding resistance to water blotching, scuffing, and black heel marks.
BENEFITS
- Tenacious Bond – Tenaciously bonds to porous surfaces to form an extremely durable, non-slip surface imparting a low sheen.
- Surface Variety – Ideal for use on a wide variety of surfaces including marble and fine stone, concrete, terrazzo, slate, pavers, and vinyl flooring.
- Base Coat – Provides an ideal base coat for further application of high gloss acrylic polymer floor finishes such as Instagloss.
- Protection – Prevents powdering and degradation of concrete and stone floors. Dramatically improves the clean-ability and ease of maintenance of porous floor surfaces.
APPLICATION AREAS AND SURFACE SUITABILITY
Instaseal is a topical floor sealer and base coat.
Instaseal displays satisfactory slip resistance as tested according to the Australian Standards. However, for large projects in commercial applications, it is advisable to conduct site-specific slip testing to ensure that suitable slip ratings are achieved.
HOW TO USE
Read and understand the MSDS before use
Always pre-test in an inconspicuous location.
Preparation:
Strip off old polish and wax residues using floor coatings remover. Ensure that the floor is thoroughly rinsed with clean water and is totally dry.
DILUTIONS
Ready to use
APPLICATION
Apply 2 to 4 coats of Instaseal depending on the porosity of the surface and the expected amount of traffic. Repeated thin, evenly spread coats are better than one heavy application.
Apply 2 coats of Instaseal when it is to function as a base coat and is to be followed by 2 to 3 coats of Instagloss. Instagloss can be applied as soon as the Instaseal is touch dry.
Coverage is 50-80m2 per litre per coat depending on the porosity of the surface.
- Apply Instaseal using a clean polish applicator. Spread a thin coat over the floor area using slightly overlapping strokes.
- Allow to dry (30-40 minutes).
- Apply the second and subsequent coats in the same manner as the first. Apply each coat at right angles to the previous coat to ensure even coverage.
- Allow at least 12 hours before returning the floor to normal use.
Maintenance:
Maintain the sealed floor using ProNeutro neutral cleaner. On flat, smooth floors a higher sheen can be obtained by buffing with Instabuff Super.
