Water droplets on a piece of
very porous Mexican Cantera Stone.
The bottom half was treated with Invisi-Guard.
Top half untreated. The stone was dipped in water,
then water was placed on the treated half.
Note: Top half is darkened by water absorption.
Invisi-Guard is THE sealer of choice on marble, granite,
tumbled stones, concrete, flagstone, limestone, travertine, clay, stucco,
brick, pavers, slate and all masonry surfaces.
When you want to protect against water, stains, and
oil, but don't want the surface to look sealed; use Invisi-Guard.
Complies with ALL SoCal A.Q.M.D. requirements.
Duro Shine Invisi-Guard is a high quality Impregnating
Sealer that provides the highest degree of stain resistance with its "Unsealed
Look". Never before has a high grade, one step, multi-purpose impregnating
sealer, been available as a water based product. This water based sealer
has no heavy solvent odors. Invisi-Guard is formulated with chemicals normally
only found in solvent based sealers. Our proprietary process, and formula
spins these ingredients at high speed, into a very stable emulsion. Once
the water evaporates from the product; you have all the oil based properties.
Just apply, and let Invisi-Guard do the rest. It will impregnate and protect
your fine stone products, and it is breathable.
USES: Use on unglazed tile, limestone,
polished or un-polished marble, travertine, flagstone, cement, tumbled
stones, paver tiles, natural stones, granite, stucco, brick and slate.
This is an indoor/ outdoor product.
This is the product to use when you have a stone such
as polished marble, or polished granite, that are not porous enough to
accept film forming gloss, or semi-gloss sealers. Invisi-Guard will maintain
the un-sealed look, while helping protect the surface from staining. You
could also use this on porous stones, clay, concrete, tumbled marble, brick,
and slate where you want a good level of stain protection, but again want
to maintain the un-sealed look.
For best results this is a stand alone product.
Remember though on porous stones, you will always
get better results from a semi-gloss (646 or 646 Plus), or high gloss (686
Plus) film forming sealer. These will perform better than ANY impregnating,
or penetrating sealer.
And if you are planning on using a film forming sealer;
do not use impregnating, or penetrating sealers first.
DIRECTIONS: First be sure surface
is clean, dry and free of other coatings. Apply with sponge, roller, brush
or sprayer. Do not leave puddling. Buff surface dry, while still damp,
with a rag, or paper towel. Apply a second coat in the same manner, as
the first coat, after 30 minutes at normal temperatures (70-85 degrees).
Always test Invisi-Guard on an un-installed sample to determine suitability.
Penetrating Impregnators are reactive products, and
you should TEST before using.
If you have not used Invisi-Guard before; test on
an un-installed sample. Invisi-Guard may slightly darken, or lighten the
surface.
If you are looking to have a semi-gloss look; do not use Invisi-Guard.
Start with, and finish with our 646 or 646 Plus. 646 will be a slight bit
lower gloss than the 646 Plus.
If you are looking for a very high gloss finish, then start, and
finish with 686 Plus.
LIMITS: Do not use Invisi-Guard
as a pre-grout sealer, if you intend to use any other sealer after grouting.
Invisi-Guard provides a serious barrier, that blocks gloss sealers from
proper adhesion. Only use this product when you want to maintain the "Un-sealed
Look". Do not use below 55 degrees, or above 90 degrees F.
COVERAGE: Invis-Guard will cover
between 150 to 1000 sq. feet per gallon. Each surface differs in its porosity,
which affects the amount of sealer used. There is a big difference in porosity,
between a concrete paver, and polished marble.
This is the amount of sealer we estimate it will take to completely
seal a given area, when applied, as per the above directions.
CURING TIME: Invisi-Guard is the
first water-based impregnator to cure as fast. or faster than oil-based
products. It shows great rejection shortly after the surface is dry, although
total curing time is 24 to 48 hours.
SEALANT LIFE: The protection should
last up to 10 years, although traffic, weather, type of substrate, or extreme
cleaning may shorten protection. Periodically test with sealer for absorption.
If any is detected, re-coat.
As with all impregnating products, these are "maintenance
products".
