SEAL & GO® "S"
SOLVENT BASED PENETRATING STONE SEALER

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE USING

DIRECTIONS:

Test in a small inconspicuous area with a 24-hour cure time to determine the ease of application. Allow grout to cure a minimum of 48 hours prior to Seal & Go ® "S" application. Check to make sure surface is clean and dry. Liberally apply a first coat with a brush, paint roller, or low pressure sprayer. Let penetrate for 10 to 15 minutes. DO NOT LET DRY. Wipe off any excess residue. A minimum of 2 hours later, repeat the procedure. Allow a minimum of 2 hours of drying time between coats.

On a very porous surface, the first coat will soak in considerably. The second coat will cover approximately double the first coat. Apply additional coats as needed. If after drying, a light haze appears, lightly dampen a clean cloth with SEAL & GO® "S" and wipe surface.

Do not walk on surface for at least 2 hours. Full cure is acheived in 24 hours.

PRECAUTIONS
  • Do not spray SEAL & GO® "S" with high pressure sprayers.
  • Do not atomize SEAL & GO® "S" into the air.
  • Do not breathe the spray mist of SEAL & GO® "S".
  • When using spray equipment, do not overspray on glass, freshly painted surfaces, plants, furniture, etc. Wet overspray may be wiped up immediately with clean absorbent towels.
  • Do not walk on wet sealer because the surface will be very slippery when wet.

REMEMBER

SEAL & GO® "S" sealers are not an absolute impenetrable barrier to all spills, soils or stains. However, natural stone, tile or grout properly sealed with SEAL & GO® "S" sealers will repel stains more effectively and clean more easily when proper cleaning solutions and methods are used. SEAL & GO "S" ® sealers do not prevent general soiling nor do they eliminate the need for routine cleaning and proper care of the sealed surface.

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
  1. Dust mop or sweep floors frequently to minimize dry soil abrasion. The most destructive material to natural stone is sand, dirt and grit which will scratch and dull the surface. These areas become places where dirt and stains will accumulate.
  2. Walk off mats are recommended to eliminate dry soil from entering the building.
  3. Vacuum walk off mats regularly.
  4. Blot up spills immediately with clean absorbent towels.
  5. Wet mop as needed with a pH-balanced cleaner such as LAVENET.
  6. Always maintain stone with clean mops, towels, sponges or rags.
  7. Do not use acid based cleaners (below 7pH), high alkaline (above 9pH) cleaners or strong degreasers.
  8. Rinse well, if needed, with clear water to avoid leaving chemical residue.
  9. Cleaning chemical residues can leave a sticky film, attract dirt and degrade the sealer.
  10. Re-apply SEAL & GO® "S" sealers every 1 to 2 years in medium to heavy use areas.
  11. Re-apply SEAL & GO® "S" sealers every 2 to 3 years in light use areas
  12. For re-application procedures, refer to the SEAL & GO® "S" sealers Application Instructions.
