® Tile Guard
® Penetrating Grout Sealer seals and protects interior and exterior sanded or unsanded grout against stains from water and oil-based liquids. Penetrating below the surface, it provides stain protection while also allowing moisture to escape so it can be used 2 weeks after grouting.
Coverage: Approximately 50 to 150 sq. ft. per pint for one coat, depending on porosity, texture, temperature, humidity and method of application.
For use on these surfaces:
- Interior and exterior sanded grout with natural stone, masonry and tile surfaces.
- Interior and exterior unsanded grout with natural stone, masonry and tile surfaces.
Directions
- Read all directions and warnings on package before using.
- Be sure grout is dry before sealing; wait 2 weeks after grouting to seal.
- Ensure that surface is clean and dry; existing sealers and coatings should be removed prior to coating.
- Surface temperature should be between 50°F and 80°F when sealer is applied. Sealer should not have contact with any non-recommended surface; (if this happens and sealer dries to create a white film, scrub surface with water and a white nylon pad.) Not to be used on food preparation surfaces.
- Apply 1 to 3 coats of Tile Guard® Penetrating Grout Sealer. Wipe up excess sealer where pools remain.
- Completely wipe surface dry, 3 to 5 minutes after each coat is applied.
- Allow 1 hour drying time between coats.
- After 2 hours, conduct a test to determine if surface is completely sealed by applying water droplets to the surface. If water is absorbed, apply an additional coat; wait 2 hours and repeat test.
- Surface is ready for traffic in 2 hours. Keep area dry for at least 12 hours; cures completely in 24 hours.
- Clean applicators with water after each use.
