Enhance-Plus

Dry-Treat, Enhance-Plus


Enhance-Plus is a breathable surface sealer and enhancer which provides a lasting enrichment of color and stain protection for slate, terracotta tile, pre-cast stone, pavers, limestone, brick, marble, granite, terrazzo and grout. Enhance-Plus hides scratches and imperfections and is more resistant to acid etching. It lowers the risk of slipping when surfaces are wet. It can be used on alkaline and neutral substrates.



Benefits

  • Deep, lasting enrichment of color.
  • More resistant to acid etching.
  • Low risk of slipping when concrete paver surfaces are wet.
  • Hides scratches and imperfections.
  • Is suitable for alkaline and neutral substrates.
  • Repels stains and food products – making cleaning easier.
  • Performs indoors and out and is unaffected by UV.
  • Minimizes mold and mildew growth, freeze-thaw spalling and efflorescence.
  • Seals hairline cracks up to 0.3 mm (0.012 in.).

A 5 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

  1. ALWAYS TEST PRODUCT ON A SMALL AREA FIRST and allow a 24-hour cure time to determine the ease of application and desired results.
  2. Ensure surfaces to be treated are dry, clean and free of residues. Apply when surface temperature is between 40° and 95° F.
  3. Product is to be applied without thinning.
  4. 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.
  5. Allow 30 minutes or longer for product to penetrate surface then wipe or polish surface with a clean white dry cloth to remove excess product.
  6. Can be applied over a surface that has been treated with a Dry-Treat penetrating sealer 24 hours after the treatment and the surface has been scrubbed with a scourer or similar.
  7. Apply additional applications if a darker appearance is desired, waiting a minimum of 24 hours between coats.
  8. Clean equipment with organic solvent.
  9. Enhance-Plus will resist but not prevent surface etching or wear and may lighten or darken some surfaces.

Special Notes and Helpful Hints

  1. After at least six hours, verify the effectiveness of the seal by leaving water on the surface for several hours. If the stone darkens due to water absorption, wait several days and apply another coat or consult your retailer.
  2. Very porous materials such as sandstone benefit from a longer curing time between coats. Occasionally, they may require a second or third coat.
  3. The sealer is "migratory" and will continue to penetrate the stone for a period of one month though the surface is dry. Most stones will be sealed to a depth of about ¼".
  4. Avoid moisture contact with the surface for 6 hours after application.
  5. Keep your sealed stone clean. Use any cleaner. We recommend SP-Cleaner for everyday cleaning. However, any cleaner can be used without hurting the seal – including bleach. Caution should be used with acidic liquids (including vinegar) on marble, limestone, concrete, or other calcareous surfaces since the product will not prevent surface etching.
  6. The product will resist but not protect against surface etching, wear or scratching of the surface. However, even the scratched or worn area will remain sealed against water and oil.
  7. On rare occasions, the product may slightly lighten or darken some surfaces. Test first.
  8. Allowing the product to dry on the surface of the stone may leave a temporary slight haze or sheen. If polishing with a clean white towel does not remove it, reapply a light coat of the product and wipe off while moist.
  9. The product can be applied through many other sealers. Apply a small amount. If the stone darkens, it is penetrating and is sealing.

Safety Precautions

  3. Avoid moisture contact with the surface for six hours after application.
  4. Protect surrounding areas from overspray.
  5. Keep away from drains, plants, water and soil.
  6. Use only in well ventilated areas.
  7. Use a positive pressure respirator if ventilation is inadequate.
  8. Wear suitable solvent-resistant gloves, protective clothing, safety goggles and an organic vapor respirator during application.
  9. Avoid applying in windy conditions.
