40SK Consolidator
40SK Consolidator is a penetrating, invisible and breathable densifier that protects porous stone, concrete and grout from damage caused by water and salt penetration, while consolidating and rebonding friable, loose and micro cracked surfaces.
Perfect for concrete, and porous stone such as limestone, travertine and slate as well as brick, grout and pavers.
Benefits
- Consolidates friable and loose surfaces.
- Makes cleaning easier.
- Keeps the original look and friction of the surface with no surface film.
- Performs indoors and out and is unaffected by UV.
- Repels water and salts.
- Minimizes mold and mildew growth, freeze-thaw spalling and efflorescence.
- Blocks salts and chloride ions – ideal for pool areas and damp earth areas.
- Breathes to allow chronically moist sub-surfaces to dry.
- Penetrates deeply to protect against weathering and wear.
- Withstands contact with cement based materials and other alkaline environments.
- Seals hairline cracks up to 0.3 mm (0.012 in.) and does not flake or peel.
A 15 YEAR PERFORMANCE WARRANTY is offered for the treated surface when product is applied by an Accredited Applicator following our written instructions and surface is maintained regularly using our written recommended maintenance system. Spills should still be cleaned up immediately to minimize absorption.
Application
- ALWAYS TEST PRODUCT ON A SMALL AREA FIRST and allow a 24-hour cure time to determine the ease of application and desired results.
- Ensure surfaces to be treated are dry, clean and free of residues. Apply when surface temperature is between 40° and 95° F.
- Product is to be applied without thinning.
- Generously saturate the surface with product using a low-pressure hand spray, a clean brush, or similar. Surface should have a mirror-like "wet" look for at least 3 seconds. Avoid contact with surrounding areas.
- After 10 minutes or longer, repeat Step 4. Total application rate is approximately 5 to 40 sq. ft. per quart, depending on surface absorption.
- Allow 10 minutes or longer for product to penetrate surface then polish surface with a clean white dry cloth to remove excess product.
- Product will take 21 days to fully cure.
- Clean equipment with organic solvent.
- Sealer will not prevent surface etching or wear.
