SpecGuard Green Conscious Product

High-gloss concrete protectant/polish

SpecGuard is a multi-component, water-based polymeric protectant designed to enhance the appearance and durability of concrete floors. This high gloss concrete protectant and polish utilize cross-linking nanotechnology for superior penetration and adhesion, resulting in a tough, stain-resistant coating that includes UV absorbers to protect colored or dyed concrete from UV degradation.

  • Enhanced Protection: Offers 24-hour resistance to common stain-causing agents such as those found in grocery stores, restaurants, and warehouses.
  • Durable and Long-Lasting: Provides a high gloss finish that is resistant to scuffs, scratches, and stains without the need for buffing.
  • UV Protection: Prevents UV degradation of colored or dyed concrete surfaces.
  • Versatile Application: Can be used on steel-troweled, honed, polished, or highly polished concrete surfaces.
  • Eco-Friendly: Low odor, water-based, and meets all federal VOC requirements.

Application

  • Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, free from cures, oil, dirt, grease, or debris. Clean with SpecChem Orange Peel Citrus Cleaner, neutralize, and thoroughly rinse with water.
  • Application Process:
    1. Dampen a microfiber pad with SpecGuard, wring out excess.
    2. Apply SpecGuard using a pump-up sprayer with a 0.5 gpm spray tip to a small section of the floor.
    3. Spread using the microfiber pad with firm pressure to achieve a thin, even coating.
    4. Allow to dry tack-free for 20-60 minutes, then burnish with a high-speed burnisher.
    5. Repeat for additional coats, up to three for maximum gloss.
