Especificación del producto

Smith’s Color Floor and Smith’s Color Wall stains already achieve superior mechanical adhesion as a result of the modified acrylic carrier, but adding Base Boost into the Smith’s Color Floor stain concentrate produces an additional bond by reacting with the un-hydrated calcium hydroxide found in the concrete. Smith’s Base Boost should not be used for application to overlays, previously coated substrates or as an additive for highlight colors.

Additionally, Smith’s Base Boost can be used as a concrete densifier for polished concrete for improved durability and abrasion resistance vs. traditional sodium silicate based concrete densifier products.

SURFACE PREPARATION

The surface preparation phase of “Staining a Concrete Floor” should be viewed as the most important. Proper floor preparation results in the stains longevity, minimizes potential failures and creates the best environment for an aesthetically pleasing work of art. In short, the more detail and time allotted to this phase of the
project will dramatically affect the appearance and durability of the finished product.

The surface must be free of all foreign materials that would inhibit the absorption of the combination Smith’s Color Floor/Color Wall stain with the Smith’s Base Boost. Foreign materials include, but are not limited to grease, dirt, glue, and
previous coatings.

Do not use an acid etch as a cleaning method.

APPLICATION

As a concrete densifier:

1) Apply Smith’s Base Boost onto intended application area with a pump up spray utilizing circular motion.
2) Distribute material evenly with a soft bristle push broom or microfiber pad
3) Re-apply material as need in areas where initial application has absorbed. Material should be applied until substrate is no longer absorbent.
4) Continue to manipulate applied material with push broom or microfiber pad for 15-20 minutes.
5) Do not allow to puddle. Allow product to dry before polishing and/or burnishing.

As an adhesion promoter:

Exterior - Broom Finish

1) Apply Smith’s Cleaner & Toughener CT-8 solution liberally to 10 feet by 10 feet section of the floor. The surface must be kept damp to achieve optimal cleaning. Using a floor buffer with a Mal-grit brush (smaller areas) or an auto-scrubber with a Mal-grit brush (larger areas), scrub each 10 x 10 portion of the floor thoroughly. As the scrubbing of each area is completed, wait at least 10 minutes, but not more than 30 minutes, before rinsing.
2) Rinsing is a very important step in the process. Scrubbing has loosened dirt and concrete particles which need to be completely removed. Cleaning the surface can be accomplished by using a power washer* with parallel overlapping line pattern.
3) Allow the area to dry adequately before beginning the application of Smith’s Color Floor.
