Typical applications: ENHANCE-PLUS™ is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including building facades, floors, walls, patios, garages, kitchens and entertaining areas.
Benefits: ENHANCE-PLUS™ provides deep enrichment of natural colour; hides scratches, efflorescence and imperfections; repels stains and soiling for easier cleaning; is able to make surfaces more resistant to acid etching; is ideal for indoor or outdoor use; has up to 90 per cent water exclusion vs control after 24 hours immersion (ASTM C 642 and ASTM C 67) and 86 per cent water exclusion vs control after 3 days immersion (NCHRP 244); on concrete pavers is classified as class W - low risk of slipping when surface wet (AS/NZS.4586); is suitable for alkaline and neutral substrates; and is backed by a 5 year warranty.
Warranty: A 5-YEAR PERFORMANCE WARRANTY is offered when ENHANCE-PLUS™ is applied by an accredited applicator following our written instructions and maintained regularly using our recommended maintenance system. Spills should still be cleaned up immediately to minimise absorption.
Application rate: Total application rate is approximately one litre per five to 10 sq. metres (50 to 100 sq. feet per quart) depending on absorption.
How to use:
- 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.
- 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 3-5 seconds. Avoid contact with surrounding areas. Total application rate is approximately one litre per five to 10 sq. metres (50 to 100 sq. feet per quart) depending on absorption.
- Allow 30 minutes for product to penetrate surface then wipe or polish surface with a clean white dry cloth to thoroughly remove excess product.
- Apply additional applications if a darker appearance is required, waiting a minimum of 24 hours between coats.
- Clean equipment with organic solvents e.g. methylated spirits. Once cured, this product is food contact safe.
Note: ENHANCE-PLUS™ will resist but not prevent surface etching or wear and may lighten or darken some surfaces. It may be applied over a surface that has been treated with a Dry-Treat impregnating sealer a minimum of 24 hours after the treatment and the surface has been scrubbed with a scourer, or similar. Alternatively, to obtain additional protection from oil-based stains STAIN-PROOF™ may be applied over a ENHANCE-PLUS™ surface a minimum of 24 hours after the treatment.
ADVANCED APPLICATION HINTS:
- On some surfaces that require additional applications of ENHANCE-PLUS™ the minimum waiting time between coats may be reduced to 6 hours. The user should test their particular surface to ensure the desired result.
- Very porous surfaces such as some sandstone will benefit from pre-sealing with a light coat of STAIN-PROOF Original™, waiting a minimum of 6 hours before applying the ENHANCE-PLUS™. To check if a surface needs to be pre-sealed place a tablespoon of water on it's surface for 30 seconds. If the water is absorbed or leaves a dark mark the surface should be pre-sealed.
Precautions: Do not take internally. Apply when surface temperature is between 5 - 35ºC (40 - 95ºF). Avoid moisture contact with the surface for six hours after application. Protect surrounding areas from over-spray. Keep away from drains, plants, water and soil. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Use a positive pressure respirator if ventilation is inadequate. Wear suitable solvent-resistant gloves, protective clothing, safety goggles and an organic vapour respirator during application. Avoid applying in windy conditions. Wash hands thoroughly.
