Preparation:

CONCRETE PAVER FINISH COAT - Please refer to the ICPI Tech Spec # 5 to determine the correct cleaning procedures and product choice for sealing pavers in variable environments. This is available @ www.icpi.org, or contact your local ICPI chapter. For new pavers no preparation is necessary other than removing any dirt, efflorescence, or sand. For older pavers the surface must be free from dirt, grease and mildew. Scrub with detergent or treat with bleach as needed and rinse thoroughly. If the pavers have been previously sealed, special caution must be taken to insure that Paver Sealer will adhere to the old sealer. Paver Sealer will adhere to most acrylic sealers, but may not adhere to polyurethane or silicate type sealers. Contact the previous installer to find out what type of sealer was used or try a test area. Call your dealer or TUF-TOP for help if uncertain. All surfaces must be clean and dry.

BARE CONCRETE DRIVEWAYS & WALKS - Concrete should be clean, dry, and free from grease,oil, and previous coatings. Pressure washing is recommended. Will adhere over most acrylic sealers. A test patch is recommended to check for adhesion or compatibility.

SPRAY DECK - For newly applied Spray Deck, no preparation is necessary other than removing any dirt, efflorescence, and loose material. The surface must be completely dry, and have a pH or 10.5 or less or "blushing" / poor adhesion may occur.

Paver LV may be tinted with up to 2 fluid. oz. per gallon with Industrial Tints to achieve a Antique or highlighted effect.

Application:

DO NOT APPLY if rain or heavy dew are forecast within 24 hours of application. Moisture will call coating to "blush" if not full cured before exposure. Low temperatures and high humidity will lengthen cure time.

APPLY in thin coats, allowing at least 2 hours between coats with no more than 4 coats in a 24 hour period to guard against solvent trapping.

CONCRETE "PAVER" FINISH COAT - Apply with roller, brush, or airless, conventional spray equipment. For most applications, two coats are preferred. Apply first coat, allow to dry a minimum of 6 hours depending on weather, and apply second coat. For best results do not dilute. Allow overnight drying for light foot traffic and 48 -72 hours before allowing vehicle traffic.

Maintenance:

Small scratches may be repaired with a small amount of Xylene and a brush. Apply a small amount of Xylene to the affected area and re-flow the sealer into the scratch. For larger areas or for re-coating, make sure the surface is clean, completely dry and free from contaminants. Re-apply a thin, light coat to the wear areas. Lap lines may be feathered with xylene .

Limitations:
  • DO NOT APPLY when air or surface temperatures are below 50 degrees Fahrenheit ( 10 C ) or are expected to fall there before the coating can dry.
  • DO NOT APPLY to a wet or damp surface
  • DO NOT APPLY when it may rain or if dew may condense on the surface before PAVER SHIELD 260 will have a chance to dry.
  • NOT FOR USE on STAMPED CONCRETE!
  • NOT FOR USE on FIRED BRICK, CERAMIC, OR WIRE CUT TILE!
  • DO NOT OVER APPLY! Blushing , crazing, dirt pick-up and tire printing may result.
Drying Time:

Normally dries in 1-3 hours and can be walked on after drying overnight. 48 hours are generally required before heavy foot traffic. Low temperatures and high humidity can extend drying and curing time.
