Application Instructions
Surface Preparation
Miraguard may be applied to steel trowelled, mechanically ground, polished or highly polished concrete surfaces, new and existing concrete, concrete with dry shakes, coloured and acid – stained concrete, cementitious tiles, terrazzo, and concrete previously treated with sodium or potassium silicate hardeners.
It is recommended to undertake a test sample to confirm the suitability of the product for specific substrates and ensure desired results are achieved.
Application Temperature
The air and surface temperature should be between 4°C and 32°C.
Application Method
Using a low-pressure sprayer fitted with an adjustable spray tip, apply a thin, even coat of Miraguard to dense, smooth concrete surfaces at a rate of 20-30 m²/litre. Application rates may vary depending on surface porosity.
Spread the product using a microfibre pad in a thin uniform layer, ensuring no pooling or brush marks. The microfiber pad should be pre-moistened with Miraguard prior to use. Stop spreading once product begins to dry.
Allow Miraguard to dry tack-free for approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. Buff the sealed floor with diamond encrusted burnishing pad between coats. Apply additional coats to increase the coverage and gloss. Coverage rates will increase as each coat that is applied. Always burnish between Miraguard coats.
To achieve a high gloss and stain resistant protective sheen, application of up to three thin coats of Miraguard may be applied.
The sealed surface must be burnished using high-speed burnishing equipment fitted with approved Mirafloor high-speed burnishing pads. The burnishing action will polish the treated surface and heats the Miraguard to help fuse and bond it with the concrete for increased durability and longevity.
Surface is ready for traffic within 1 hour of burnishing under typical conditions.
