Before you begin
Do not apply to wet-cast pavers, stamped or poured concrete.
For application to natural stone : Contact Techniseal® for more information at 1 800 465-7325. 
Apply only to bare material* or to material previously sealed with this product.
Wait until the Protector is worn before recoating the surface (minimum 2 years).
With the appropriate Techniseal® stripper, remove any unknown coating that was previously applied. 
ALWAYS TEST on a small hidden area of approximately 0.4 m2 (4 sq. ft.) to ensure that result meets your expectations (see Warranty).

*ABSORPTION TEST: Sprinkle a few drops of water on surface. If water is absorbed, move on to the next point. If water is repelled, do not apply this product.

Surface preparation (Essential)
1. Cover vegetation, vehicles and adjacent surfaces that are not to be treated.
2. Remove stains with the appropriate Techniseal® stain removers.
3. Prepare the entire surface with HD Paver Prep from Techniseal® (efflorescence cleaner), as directed on product label.

Application
Application Conditions:
• Surface must be porous, clean, dry and warm to the touch.
• Temperature must be between 10°C and 30°C.
• No rain forecasted for the next 24 hours.
• Sprinkler system must be turned off.
• Use a consistent application method over entire surface.

Necessary Tools :
• 10 to 12 mm polyester nap roller, and paint tray
• Low-pressure airless sprayer (< 50 psi) or pump sprayer (optional)
Do not dilute. Shake well or stir product before and during application.

Sprayer Application (Best Practice) : Work in sections of no more than 9.2 m2 (100 sq. ft.). Saturate surface with a coat of Protector. With a dry roller, remove excess on the surface before it dries. Repeat for subsequent sections, maintaining a wet edge in order to prevent overlap marks.

Roller Application : Saturate the surface with a coat of Protector, avoiding accumulation of excess product. With a dry roller, remove excess on the surface before it dries. Maintain a wet edge in order to prevent overlap marks.

Second Coat : Apply a second coat only if the surface is very porous. The application of a second coat over pavers which are not sufficiently porous could make the surface slippery. Before proceeding, wait for the first coat to completely penetrate the surface, that is, until no residue is visible (maximum 4 hours). Apply a second coat following the same method as before. Wait 15 minutes, then remove excess on the surface and joints with a dry roller.

Traffic: Pedestrian: 24 h. / Vehicular: 48 to 72 h. Block access during that period.

Caution
• Any new concrete product has the potential to produce efflorescence (whitish salts) on its surface. This Protector will not trap efflorescence, which will disappear by itself after prolonged exposure to weathering.
• Do not attempt sprayer application on windy days.
• Do not apply this product over a blotchy or hazed surface.
• Surface might be slightly slippery for a few days following application.
• An over-accumulation of product could lead to surface whitening.
• Extreme climate or heavy traffic could limit product longevity
• Wait 30 days after the installation of polymeric sand before sealing the pavers.

Cleaning & Disposal
Wash tools and hands with warm soapy water. Consult your retailer or municipality regarding the disposal of empty containers or unused product.
