PRODUCT DE SCRIPTION
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. This product is formulated for sealing concrete
and masonry to provide resistance against water, alkalis, acids, ultraviolet light, stain-
ing, salt ion intrusion and freeze/thaw damage. 511 Impregnator is a unique poly-
merized silicone formulation designed for the protection of all medium to dense
porous tile, stone and grout surfaces. 511 Impregnator penetrates into the surface
and forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains, while allowing
vapor to escape. 511 Impregnator is not a surface coating and will not alter the natur-
al look. All surfaces are harder and less slippery. 511 Impregnator can be used on
interior and exterior applications. 511 Impregnator is U.V. transparent, resists acid
rain and will not yellow under any circumstances. 511 Impregnator averages five to
twenty times the coverage of competitive products. (See coverage chart). 511 prod-
ucts have been formulated for or applied to freshly poured concrete to retard the
evaporation of water.
511 Impregnator is on the approved sources list of the United States Postal Service
and is U.S.D.A. approved for incidental food contact in federal meat and poultry
establishments.
Test Data
Independent laboratory tests show 511 Impregnator out performs competitive prod-
ucts. Test results are available upon request for Staining, Static Coefficient of Friction,
Tabor Abrasion, Surface Absorption, Freeze/Thaw, Vapor Transmission and Bacteria
Repellency.
NOTE: On more porous surfaces use 511 Porous Plus as directed. For any questions
concerning grout refer to the grout manufacturers specifications. 511 Impregnator
will not stop acid etching.
Sample Testing
Due to the differences of each substrate, several inconspicuous test patches should
be completed to assure maximum performance. User must determine suitability of
the product for their intended use.
Color Enhancement
For added color with “TEXTURED AND NON POLISHED” surfaces, 511 Seal &
Enhance or Mira Matte may be applied as directed.
Gloss Enhancement
For a higher gloss finish on POLISHED stone surfaces, use Water Ring & Etch
Remover, Marble Conditioner, Mira Dust, Granite Brite or MiraPolish. For counters
and furniture, use Stone Polish. For tile surfaces, try Tile Brite.
Slip Resistance
511 Impregnator increases the static coefficient of friction on all surfaces. 511
Impregnator has been used successfully for compliance with the American Disability
Act’s recommendations for slip resistance (ASTM C 1028-89) on polished & honed
surfaces.
Protect Neighboring Surfaces
Always protect neighboring surfaces including wood, carpet, metal, landscaping and
other non masonry surfaces.
NEW INSTALLATIONS - APPLIC ATION INSTRUCTIONS
Read entire label and PDS/MSDS before using. 511 Impregnator should not be
diluted or thinned in any way. 511 Impregnator should be used as is direct from
approved container.
Before Grouting: Apply 511 Impregnator to all surfaces prior to grouting. This step
will allow quick and easy cleanup after grouting. Grout can stain many surfaces if this
procedure is not used prior to the grouting process. Apply 511 Impregnator using a
Mira Brush or a clean towel. Apply enough to wet the surface. (See coverage charts)
Be careful not to saturate the open grout joints. Allow 511 Impregnator to stand for
approximately 3 - 5 minutes for maximum penetration. All excess must be removed
at this time by buffing surface with a clean dry towel. This is very important on pol-
ished, glazed and porcelain surfaces. Allow 511 Impregnator to cure for 6 - 12 hours
before continuing with the grouting procedure.
After Grouting: Once grouted, make sure that all grout residue is removed from the
surface with a clean sponge and water. Allow grout to cure per manufacturers specifi-
cation. If grout clean up is not performed effectively, an additional cleaning may be
necessary to remove remaining grout residue or haze. For this procedure use
Phosphoric Acid Cleaner , (GCFR) Grout & Concrete Film Remover (Hydrochloric
Acid), Sulfamic Acid Crystals or Epoxy Grout Film Remover following the instructions
carefully. Once the area has completely dried, proceed with the sealing of the grout
for water and stain resistance. Apply 511 Impregnator to all grout with a paint brush.
Any excess sealer that gets on the surface should be wiped off with a clean towel
before it dries. On larger jobs grout can be sealed by retreating the entire area includ-
ing the tile or stone surface a second time. Be careful not to allow the sealer to pud-
dle or dry on presealed surfaces.
Existing Installation - Surface Preparation
Surface must be dry and free of contaminants, including previously applied sealers,
dirt, lime & hard water deposits, efflorescence, rust & other heavy dirt and grime.
Surface Coating/Wax Removal:To remove existing coatings and/or waxes, use Mira
Strip or H2O Strip as directed.
Heavy Duty Cleaning: To remove lime and hard water deposits, efflorescence, rust,
grease and other heavy dirt and grime use GCFR (Grout & Concrete Film Remover)
Phosphoric Acid Cleaner as directed.
For a non acid deep clean use Liquid Poultice as directed.
Light Cleaning: Use Mira Clean #1, Porcelain & Ceramic Tile Cleaner, Mira Soap,
Counter Kleen as directed.
Existing Installation - Application Instructions
Follow the application instructions previously mentioned, except now, seal the grout
and tile or stone surfaces at the same time. When treating surfaces together, make
sure that the recessed grout is saturated.
Mold, Mildew and Bacteria Sanitation
For best results in killing mold, mildew, bacteria and other micro organisms, use
Miracle Wipes as directed.
Residue Removal
To remove accumulated 511 Impregnator residue, use Miracle Residue Remover as
directed.
Color and Gloss Enhancement
For color & gloss enhancement, use Mira Matte or Mira Shine as directed.
Cure Time
511 Impregnator will be dry to the touch in 1 - 3 hours and may be used for normal
foot traffic. For optimum results the area should be kept dry and free from staining
materials for 72 hours.
