DESCRIPTION
Aqua-Seal STC™Grout Renue’N’Seal™ is a modified
waterborne epoxy formula designed to renew, re-colour and seal
existing grout. Renue’N’Seal utilises the latest Rapid-Seal STC™
Technology to provide maximum stain resistance in 24 hours. It
is non flammable, non toxic, and easy to use. Allows Moisture
Vapour Transmission (MVT). For interior and exterior use.
USES
Use on existing sanded, unsanded and epoxy grout where
maximum stain resistance and uniform colour is desired.
TEST FIRST
Due to the nature of different surfaces, you should do several
tests in inconspicuous areas according to the label instructions
to determine application method, number of coats & desired
results. The end user must determine the suitability of the
product for their intended use.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Always Test first;
2. Read entire label & product technical bulletin before using;
3. Wear appropriate skin protection.
4. Surface must be clean & completely dry and free from any
other sealers & coatings;
5. Use when surface temperature is between 4°C & 32°C;
6. If using more than 1 bottle of a single colour, mix all the
material to be used together in a large container to ensure
colour uniformity.
7. Ensure that existing grout sits lower than the tile surface.
8. Porous surrounding surfaces may require sealing to ensure
product is not absorbed;
9. For use in shower cubicles, the use of a moisture meter can
help determine when the existing grout is dry and ready to
apply product.
PREPARATION OF EXISTING GROUT JOINT
Use Aqua-Seal STC™XtremeClean as per label instructions to
clean and prepare existing grout joints. For smooth grout joints,
use Aqua-Seal STC™OxiTreat HD to clean and create texture
on existing grout joint (do not use OxiTreat HD on acid sensitive
stone).
INSTRUCTIONS
1. SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING;
2. Ensure surface is completely dry then sweep, vacuum, or
wipe surface;
3. Apply small amount of product directly onto grout joint;
4. Work the product along the grout joint in a back-forward
motion using an Grout Renue’N’Seal™Applicator Brush or
a toothbrush;
5. Ensure a thin even coat is applied and minimise the amount
spread on to tile surface;
6. Allow product to dry a minimum 30 minutes (touch dry) then
mist a small amount of water on the surface; (Do not allow
product to dry on tile surface for longer than 12 hours);
7. Using a white nylon pad, remove excess product from the
tile surface, ensuring that you do not scrub directly into the
grout joint;
8. The surface is ready for light traffic after 2 hours. Keep
surface dry for 24 hours. Note: When using contrasting
colours, more than 1 coat might be necessary with a drying
time of 2 hours between each coat. Follow label instructions
for each coat.
COLOUR ACCURACY
Colour & shade variation can occur depending on job site,
lighting, surface and surrounding conditions.
LIMITATIONS
• Do not use in under water or pooling water situations;
• Do not allow the product to come in contact with any non-
recommended surfaces.
EXPECTED WEAR
Up to 20 years but will vary depending on texture & hardness
of surface, surface wear plus frequency & type of maintenance
products used. Harsh cleaning methods, and high-alkaline,
acidic, or solvent-based cleaners and weather exposure will
affect wear and performance. Re-seal as necessary.
COVERAGE
The coverage will vary depending on size of joint, size of
tile, density, porosity, texture, surface absorption, weather
conditions, the application method and number of coats. As
a guide per 250ml Bottle will seal 200x 200mm tile with 3mm
joint – up to 30m2 per coat, 300x300mm tile with 3mm joint
– up to 40m2 per coat. For full coverage chart refer to www.
