Protect Your Surfaces with Aqua Mix® Pro-Solv®
Pro-Solv® by Aqua Mix® offers the ultimate defence for your natural stone and tile surfaces. This economical, solvent-based sealer is designed to provide top-tier stain resistance while maintaining the natural beauty of your materials. Ideal for saltwater pool surrounds and porcelain tiles, Pro-Solv® ensures lasting protection for up to 10 years.
Pro-Solv Key Features
- Provides superior stain protection.
- No-sheen finish for a natural look.
- Breathable formula allows moisture vapour transmission.
- Does not alter slip resistance.
- Easy to apply with long-lasting results.
- Suitable for interior and exterior use.
Preparation Matters
For best results, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of wax or finishes. New installations should dry for at least 24 hours before application. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Limitations
- Avoid application on non-recommended surfaces.
- May slightly alter the appearance of some stones.
- Does not prevent wear, etching, or damage from acids or harsh chemicals.
Preparation:
Ensure the surface is dry, clean, and free from waxes, sealers, or finishes. New installations must be completely dry (at least 24 hours) before application. Always test the product in an inconspicuous area to ensure satisfactory results. Protect surrounding surfaces from accidental spills.
Pro-Solv Application Instructions
- Test Area First: Always apply the sealer to a small, inconspicuous area to confirm desired results.
- Application Tools: Use a pump sprayer, paint pad applicator, lambswool applicator, sponge, or brush.
- Application Method: Allow the sealer to penetrate for up to 5 minutes. If the surface begins to dry within this time, apply more sealer to keep the surface wet for the full 5 minutes. After each application, wipe the surface dry with clean, dry towels.
- Additional Applications: Porous surfaces may require multiple applications. Test after 2 hours by applying water drops. If the surface absorbs the water, apply an additional layer.
- Clean-Up: Clean tools with mineral spirits after use.
How to Ensure the Surface is Completely Sealed
After 2 hours of drying, conduct a simple test:
- Apply a few drops of water to the sealed surface.
- If the water penetrates the surface, an additional application of sealer is required.
- Reapply as necessary until water beads on the surface instead of soaking in.
Drying Times
- Between Applications: Allow 30 minutes at 20°C (68°F) with 70% RH. Longer times may be required under different conditions.
- Traffic Ready: Minimum of 2 hours.
- Full Cure: Achieved within 24 hours, with a minimum 12-hour dry period.
