Form: JPB-04

.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
LIMITATIONS:
OKON W-2 does not provide protection against
hydrostatic water pressure, efflorescence caused by
internal moisture, or moisture penetration through
cracks in mortar, expansion joints or junctures between
dissimilar materials. W-2 will not fill large pores, bridge
cracks, seal inaccessible areas, or compensate for flawed
construction. Do not use on glazed or non-porous surfaces.
W-2 may be intermixed with latex paints or tinted with up
to 4 ounces universal colorants per gallon to produce a
concrete stain. Intermixing or tinting should occur on the
day of application to avoid color separation and hard
settling. Use OKON PLUS COLOR Water Repellent and
Stain Base to avoid settling problems. Application of W-2
may slightly affect darken the color and over application
may build a sheen on the surface. A mock-up should
always be performed and approved by property owner. To
protect more porous substrates – CMU, rough stucco,
blasted concrete - use OKON PLUGGER. Refer to
Technical Data Bulletin for detailed use.
CLEAN UP
Clean hands and tools with soapy water. Drips and runs
that have dried may be removed using a strong solvent
within 24 hours after application. After that time sanding
may be necessary.
5-YEAR WATER REPELLENCY WARRANTY
Properly specified and applied applications of W-1 may
qualify for a 5-Year Warranty. Two coats are generally
required to achieve this performance standard. Not all
substrates can achieve this standard regardless of the
number of coats applied. Request OKON Warranty
procedure for details.
