Made of acrylic and urethane, EV Protector is specially designed to protect concrete pavers.

Its transparent film stops the penetration of contaminants, facilitating the maintenance of pavers. Water based, EV Protector does not release unpleasant fumes, and it is environmentally friendly.

Before you begin
Do not apply to natural stone or to wet-cast pavers, stamped or poured concrete.
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 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. Product is milky white in its container and will become clear once dry.
Sprayer Application (Best Practice) : Work in sections of no more than 4.6 m2 (50 sq. ft.). Saturate a section with a single coat of Protector. With the 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 single coat of Protector, avoiding accumulation of excess product. Maintain a wet edge in order to prevent overlap marks.
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, like any film-forming coating, carries a small risk of trapping efflorescence beneath its film. Consult the paver manufacturer or contact Techniseal® at 1 800 465-7325 for more information.
• Do not attempt sprayer application on windy days.
• Do not apply this product over a blotchy or hazed surface.
• This product will make the surface more slippery when wet. If slipping is a problem, consider iN Protector for Concrete Pavers or Surefoot Additive from Techniseal®.
• 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.
