Back Treat
Uses:
Back Treat is a breathable, economical, penetrating, and invisible sealer that protects brick, cast stone, engineering concrete, limestone, grout, natural stone, porous tile, pavers, and terracotta tile from damage caused by stains. Treated indoor and outdoor surfaces become easier to clean, maintain and keep looking good for longer.
Typical Applications
Back Treat is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including building entertaining areas, facades, floors, garages, kitchen, patios, swimming pool surrounds and walls
Benefits
Back Treat is:
- Able to repel stains and food products making cleaning easier;
- Non film-forming;
- is able to work without changing the appearance of the surface keeping the original look;
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use;
- Able to greatly reduce water uptake and minimize moss growth, freeze thaw spalling and efflorescence;
- Able to breathe so there is no build-up of subsurface moisture allowing it dry out; and
- is extremely alkali resistant and hence won’t breakdown in contact with cement based materials./li>
Application Rates:
Depending on absorption; Total application rate is approximately 1 litre per 2 to 8 square metres (20 to 80 sq.ft. per quart).
How to Use:
- First, test product on a small area and to determine the ease of application and desired results, allow a 24-hour cure time.
- Make sure that the surfaces to be treated are dry, clean and free of residues.
- Product is to be applied without thinning.
- Generously saturate the surface with product using a low-pressure hand spray, a clean brush, or similar. Surface should have a mirror-like “wet” look for 3-5 seconds. Avoid contact with surrounding areas.
- After 10 minutes, repeat Step 4. Total application rate is approximately 1 Litre per 2 to 8 square metres (20 to 80 sq.ft. per quart), depending on surface absorption.
- Allow 10 minutes for product to penetrate the surface then polish surface with a clean white dry cloth to remove excess product.
- Clean the equipment with water.
Note: Sealer will not prevent surface etching or wear and may lighten or darken some surfaces.
Preacautions:
- Apply when surface temperature 5 to 35 C° (40 to 95 F°).
- Avoid applying in windy conditions.
- Do not take internally.
- For 6 hours after application, avoid moisture contact with the surface.
- Keep away from drains, plants, water and soil.
- Protect surrounding areas from over spray.
