How To Use:

Ready to use - no dilution required.

PROTECTION ON 5 SIDES:
- To block contaminating agents (stains, yellow stains, binder application errors) on the back and on the 4 sides of the material.
- Carefully clean the back of the tile or slab, removing any dust and residues. Check that the surface is dry and free from damp.
- Ensure that the surface is dry, then apply the product evenly and continuously on the back and sides of the material using a flat brush or airless pump, while trying to avoid pooling.
- Bond the material when completely dry, wait approximately 12 hours (temperatures between 20 °C and 40 °C) to 24 hours (temperatures between 10°C and 20°C) before bonding the material.
- Choose the adhesive suited to the type of installation.
- Store the material so that it can dry fully.
- After the initial wash, the surface treatment can be completed with the water-based or solvent-based protector most suited to the material’s intended use.

PROTECTION ON 6 SIDES:
- In the presence of high humidity, it can be used to block contaminating agents (oxidation, stains, yellow stains, binder application errors) on the back and 4 sides of the material and to create a water-repellent effect on the front.
- Carefully clean both sides of the tile or slab, removing any dust and residues. Check that the surface is dry and free from damp.
- Apply one coat of PW10 using an airless spray pump or flat brush, spreading the solution evenly on all sides of the material and avoiding any surface pooling.
- The product can also be applied by immersing the material in it for roughly 30 seconds.
- Product residues must be removed by dabbing the material with a cloth, to avoid pooling of the product on the surface.
