Pre-Grout Sealer / Grout Release:
Porous tile and stone can be stained by grout during installation. Sealing the tile before grouting will make grout removal much easier. Apply sealer according to directions after the tile has been bonded for a minimum of 24 hours, or apply to the front face of tile before installation. Wait a minimum of 2 hours before grouting.
Procedure
Always test a small area first to ensure satisfactory results.
Apply using a pump sprayer, paint pad applicator, lambswool applicator, sponge or brush.
Allow it to penetrate for up to 5 minutes, if the surface is drying within 5 minutes, apply more sealer to keep surface wet for up to 5 minutes.
Wipe surface completely dry using clean, dry cotton, paper or microfiber towels after each application. Ensure no sealer is allowed to dry on the surface.
Porous surfaces may require additional applications.
Conduct a test to see if the surface is completely sealed after 2 hours by applying drops of water on the surface. If it penetrates, an additional application is required.
Drying Time
Allow 30 minutes of drying time between applications when conditions are 20° Celsius and 70% RH.
If temperatures are lower or humidity higher than these times may be longer.
If unsure about the specific job site temperatures and conditions please contact one of our technical advisors.
Ready for surface traffic in a minimum of 2 hours.
