Formula One Guard-W Concrete Sealer

Water and Stain-Resistant Burnishing Finish Concrete Sealer

SCOFIELD® Formula One™ Guard-W is a polymeric water and stain-resistant burnishing finish that is designed to guard and protect smooth ground and polished concrete surfaces. Its organo-silicate hybrid composition combines the densifying and abrasion-resistant properties of lithium silicate, with the stain-blocking properties found only in self-crosslinking organic systems. Applied after the application of a quality concrete densifier, SCOFIELD® Formula One™ Guard-W should be polished to the desired gloss level with high-speed floor burnishing equipment. Properly installed, a thin yet durable film with good moisture transmission properties remains. This film will not crack, peel, or delaminate under normal conditions.

Features & Benefits

• Adds water and stain resistance
• Low-odor, non-yellowing water-based formulation
• Breathable thin film forming surface treatment
• Bonds directly to cement and aggregate silicates
• Effectively locks in concrete dyes
• Shortens concrete polishing times
• Does not gum burnishing equipment
• UV light stable
• Cures to a non-toxic surface
• Apply by spray and mop

PACKAGING:
1 gal. (3.8 L) can, 5 gals. (18.9 L) pail

CHEMICAL BASE:
Lithium Silicate with proprietary polymeric polish and water repellent

APPEARANCE / COLOR:
Milk is like liquid. When installed, it is colorless and clear.

SHELF LIFE:
18 months from the date of manufacture. 1 month after opening.

STORAGE CONDITIONS:
Store in original containers at 40°F to 110°F (4°C - 43°C). DO NOT FREEZE!

COVERAGE:
Coverage will depend upon the method of application, surface porosity, age, moisture, absorption characteristics, and the texture of the concrete. The
application of two thin coats prior to burnishing is recommended. Spread rate on flat finished concrete that has been ground, densified, and roughly polished with a 400-grit abrasive disk, is typically 1000 ft2/gal (2.5m2/L) of diluted material. Slabs ground to expose hard non absorptive aggregates will take less material. For all uses and applications, spread or scrub puddles of excess material into surfaces before it is allowed to dry. Puddled material allowed to dry can form unsightly salts that are difficult to polish.

DRYING TIMES:
Dry times will depend upon weather conditions. At 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity surfaces should be dry and able to be polished in 1-2 hours. SCOFIELD® Formula One™ Guard-W has a self-crosslinking component, best results will be achieved if the final high-gloss polishing is performed after an overnight dry.
