PACKAGING

Packaged in 5 gal (19 L) and 55 gal (208 L) drums.

Advantages

The first coat acts as a cure. The second coat, while not necessary, seals the surface and improves the overall look with a glossy finish.; Protects concrete surfaces against the damaging effects of deicing salts, acid rain and staining.; Minimizes spalling due to moisture absorption and freeze/ thaw related damage.; Prevents unsightly stains caused by absorption of dirt, oil and grease.; Sealed surface makes contaminants easy to clean simply by wiping away or by using a mild detergent and scrub brush.; Gives decorative surfaces like stamped concrete a "wet look" and enhances the natural colors.; Dries rapidly and offers excellent re-coatability characteristics.; Resists ultra-violet oxidation and yellowing.; Offers excellent water vapor permeability and resistance to blistering.; Remains sprayable in freezing temperatures.; Complies with ASTM C309, Type 1, Class A & B. Also compliant with USDA requirements for incidental food contact.

Maintenance

Wipe up all chemical, solvent or petroleum spills as soon as possible.; Remove dirt and debris by sweeping.; Wash and buff periodically to help maintain surface luster.; Clean damaged coating areas promptly and recoat.

Precaution

Do not use on concrete slabs with inadequately drained subgrade, treated surfaces to be covered with concrete or plaster, and/or surfaces subject to hydrostatic water pressures.; Coating delamination (blistering) may occur if applied prior to allowing all surface bleed water to fully evaporate. A moisture saturated subgrade or a moisture barrier placed beneath the slab to be cured and/or sealed may increase the risk of coating delamination.; Do not use with other floor sealers, treatments, bondbreakers or adhesives without prior site test to determine compatibility and adhesion.; Any variations in concrete surface density may be highlighted by surface mottling after product application. Make test application to determine performance and appearance acceptability.; Do not use around sparks or open flame. Provide adequate ventilation.; Due to the extremely low flash point TRI-SHIELD is only recommended for exterior applications and is NOT recommended for interior or enclosed applications.; Do not apply where moisture could contact the underside of TRI-SHIELD.; Treated surfaces may be slippery prior to drying and when wet with water or liquids after drying.; Sealed surfaces will slowly oxidize in time, eventually necessitating reapplication.; Not recommended for application to frozen concrete surfaces or when ambient temperatures are below 40° F (4° C) and/ or are expected to drop below 40° F (4° C)within 12 hours following application.; Do not apply TRI-SHIELD to concrete if substrate temperatures are below 40° F (4° C) or above 85° F (29° C). Best results are obtained when TRI-SHIELD is applied during the morning or evening hours and not in direct sunlight. Application of TRI-SHIELD in direct sunlight and under extremely hot and/or windy conditions can result in solvent bubbling or blistering.; Avoid over-application. Apply one to two light coats. Over application may prohibit vapor transmission and lead to blistering and delamination of the sealer.; May damage vegetation or painted surfaces with contact.; Due to the more restrictive air quality regulations written by certain VOC management districts regulating the use of architectural coatings, this product may be prohibited from use as a concrete sealer, but still permissible for the use as a concrete curing compound.
