APPLICATION PROCESS
1. PREPARE
Clean the surfaces thoroughly.
The surface to be treated should be properly cleaned before any application
of AQUA-X
®
11. The surface should be free of dirt, oil, contaminants, and any
other substance that could interfere with the sealer penetrating the surface
as intended. AQUA-X
®
11 should not be applied to any surface that has
evidence of being sealed. If stain is to be applied to the surface, it should be
applied prior to sealing with AQUA-X
®
11.
Bare Concrete: New concrete must be cured a minimum of 28 days. Other
curing compounds may not be compatible. Concrete surfaces should be
clean, free of dirt, oil, grease and other contaminants. Pressure washing with
2,000 psi pressure cold water may be necessary. On older concrete surfaces,
shot blasting or high-pressure cold water may be used. Chemical cleaning or
high-pressure hot water may also be used. Rinse thoroughly after chemical
cleaning. The surface pores must have proper ventilation to allow immediate
penetration of AQUA-X
®
11. Substrate should have a pH between 6-10. Acid
etching maybe required on smooth trialed concrete to allow proper
penetration of AQUA-X
®
