DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Surface preparation:
All materials should be stored at 40-100°F (4-38°C) 24 hours prior to installation. Surfaces to be treated should have an open surface so PENEGUARD^TM can penetrate and be absorbed. Remove all coatings, form oils, curing or sealing agents through chemical or mechanical means. Remove dust, dirt, laitance or any other contaminants by sweeping all areas to be treated with a fine bristle broom or scrub brush. Hose off with water and let dry. Remove any standing or puddled water to avoid dilution of PENEGUARD^TM before it is able to penetrate the surface.

Mixing:
Agitate jug or pail before using.

Installation:

PENEGUARD ^TM is ready to use, and no dilution is required.

Apply with low pressure sprayer and a microfiber or synthetic cloth.

For new concrete:
Apply PENEGUARD^TM immediately using a low-pressure sprayer, following the concrete finishing and as soon as the concrete surface is firm enough to walk on. For complete grinding and polishing system with sealer coat, new concrete should be cured for at least 28 days.
For all cured & hardened concrete:
PENEGUARD ^TM may be applied to steel-troweled, hardened and highly polished (multi-step grinding and polishing system) concrete surfaces. For achieving the best results, floors should be treat- ed with PENESEAL^TM FH or PENESEAL^TM FH-PS prior to applying PENEGUARD ^TM.
application steps:
Step 1: Before the application of PENEGUARD ^TM, lightly wet the clean microfiber cloth.
Step 2: Using a low-pressure sprayer, spray a very thin mist spray within the designed application area.
Step 3: Using the damp microfiber cloth and firm downward pressure, immediately spread the PENEGUARD ^TM (evenly, without increasing the thickness) to produce an even wet coating. Spread the product as far as possible while maintaining a wet edge. When properly applied, PENEGUARD^TM dries quickly. Stop spreading once drying begins. Avoid overlapping.
Step 4: Allow material to dry (approximately 30-60 minutes).
Step 5: Using a high-speed burnisher (1,500 rpm), burnish the surface evenly until desired gloss and finish are achieved. Surface temperatures immediately behind the burnisher should be 90°F (32°C) or higher to allow PENEGUARD ^TM to fuse and bond to the substrate.
Step 6: For maximum gloss number reading, PENEGUARD ^TM may be reapplied (maximum 3 coats) by repeating the above steps 1 thru 5.

NOTES:

Application temperature limits: 40oF to 100oF (4°C to 38°C). The reaction of PENEGUARD ^TM will be slowed at lower temperatures. In these cases, the concrete should be protected from freezing for six days.

The surface can be used as soon as the application is complete and the surface is dry to the touch.
