NATURAL
STONE SEALER (page 2)
DESCRIPTION/USE
Natural
Stone Sealer is a clear 100% acrylic sealer designed to seal, bind, and
waterproof vertical surfaces of natural stone materials. Natural Stone
Sealer is formulated with special UV resistant resins to increase surface
hardness and help against staining, soiling, algal and fungal growth. Ideal
for sealing natural limestone, sandstone, rammed earth and other natural
unglazed stone surfaces with high porosity. Always test the product on
a small inconspicuous area first to ensure the product is achieving the
desired result prior to application over the entire area.

PREPARATION
Surface
preparation is important. It is advisable to allow a minimum of six weeks
exposure before sealing onto any newly laid surface. Areas affected by
efflorescence, grease, mould or bore stain should be treated with the appropriate
Bondall cleaning product. Ensure all surfaces to be sealed with Natural
Stone Sealer are clean, dry and free from dust. Any stains present will
become more apparent once sealed. Allow new concrete to age/cure. Typically
allow 7 days for each 25mm thickness.
APPLICATION
Stir
well before and during use. DO NOT SHAKE the contents, as shaking will
produce bubbles, which may become trapped on the surface. Apply by brush,
roller or spray.
Allow
to dry for 24 hours before applying the second coat. Second coat should
be applied direct from the container.
Apply
each coat neat and evenly and take care not to over apply on pitted surfaces
as ponding of product may occur there after causing white blooming. Proper
penetration of the first coat is very important.
Do
not apply if temperature is below 10ºC or if rain is expected within
24 hours. Ensure adequate ventilation during use.
THINNING
Only
required on first coat 10-15%.
DRYING
Natural
Stone Sealer is touch dry in approximately 1 hour but should be left for
24 hours before re-coating.
Drying

5 square metres per litre on porous surfaces. Coverage rates are dependent
on surface porosity, texture and application technique.
COLOUR
White
appearance in container but dries clear.
GLOSS
LEVEL
Not
