511 Impregnator is the original penetrating sealer designed for the protection of all medium to dense porous surfaces. It forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains while allowing vapor to escape. 511 Impregnator is not a surface coating and will not alter the natural look. It's excellent for interior & exterior projects while providing weather resistant superior coverage. Use it on Sanded Grout, Quarry Tile, Ceramic Tile, Glazed Tile, Porcelain Tile, Polished Granite & Marble, Terrazzo, Concrete, Brick, Stucco, Slate, Quartz, Travertine and Agglomerate.
Application:
Before Grouting:
Apply 511 Impregnator to all surfaces prior to grouting. This step will allow quick and easy cleanup after grouting. Grout can stain many surfaces if this procedure is not used prior to the grouting process. Apply 511 Impregnator using a Mira Brush or a clean towel. Apply enough to wet the surface. (See coverage charts) Be careful not to saturate the open grout joints. Allow 511 Impregnator to stand for approximately 3 - 5 minutes for maximum penetration. All excess must be removed at this time by buffing surface with a clean dry towel. This is very important on polished, glazed and porcelain surfaces. Allow 511 Impregnator to cure for 12 - 24 hours before continuing with the grouting procedure.
After Grouting: Once grouted, make sure that all grout residue is removed from the surface with a clean sponge and water. Allow grout to cure per manufacturers specification. If grout clean up is not performed effectively, an additional cleaning may be necessary to remove remaining grout residue or haze. For this procedure use Phosphoric Acid Cleaner , (GCFR) Grout & Concrete Film Remover (Hydrochloric Acid), Sulfamic Acid Crystals or Epoxy Grout Film Remover following the instructions carefully. Once the area has completely dried, proceed with the sealing of the grout for water and stain resistance. Apply 511 Impregnator to all grout with a paint brush. Any excess sealer that gets on the surface should be wiped off with a clean towel before it dries. On larger jobs grout can be sealed by retreating the entire area including the tile or stone surface a second time. Be careful not to allow the sealer to puddle or dry on presealed surfaces.
It covers approximately 1,000 - 4,000 square feet per gallon (90 - 364 square meters per 3.785 liters).
