DESCRIPTION

RESIECCO solvent free paving sealant is based on a thermoplastic acrylic copolymer emulsion. Whitish when in liquid state, it becomes clear when dry. Since it is solvent free it does not give off unpleasant odours, and is therefore ideal for indoor use. It reduces dust formation inside warehouses and factories by preventing crumbling of concrete floors. It gives a very low satin sheen finish that in most cases does not darken treated surfaces, protecting materials while retaining their original colour. It makes cleaning easier by reducing oil and dirt penetration. It resists both calcium and sea salt. Since it reduces their porosity, vertical surfaces will tend to self-clean under rainfall. Above all RESIECCO's tough sand binding formulation makes it ideal for sealing aggressive vacuum swept shopping centres.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Surface preparation:

Concrete Block Paving:

Good surface preparation is essential.

1) Remove all stains with appropriate RESIBLOCK paving cleaning products.

2) Dissolve efflorescence and remove ground-in dirt on the entire surface using RESIBLOCK ER. This ensures uniform results and allows RESIECCO to better penetrate the surface.

3) Resiecco solvent free paving sealer cannot be used on previously sealed surfaces

Other surfaces:

Remove all stains (oil, grease, dust, paint, efflorescence, etc.) with appropriate RESIBLOCK cleaning products.

Application:

Read the Material Safety Data Sheet before using this product. Even RESIECCO can deteriorate paving appearance rather than enhance it if applied over efflorescence or to a dirty or poorly cleaned surface. Proper surface preparation is therefore essential. Make sure that cleaning products have been thoroughly rinsed off.

RESIECCO paving sealant must be applied to dry paving (check jointing sand) with rain not forecast for 24 hours; ideally paving should be warm to the touch. Residual dampness will inhibit penetration.

RESIECCO requires no thinning or addition of a reactive ingredient. It can be used direct from the can and applied to the surface with a conventional watering can and spread with a RESIBLOCK SQUEEGEE. A RESIBLOCK L.P. sprayer or RESI-ROLLER can also be used. Stir contents well, prior to use.

Ensure over application does not wash away jointing sand. Apply approximately 2 litres at a time (4-5m2) treating a larger area may cause a patchy appearance.

Spread RESIECCO solvent free paving sealer evenly over the surface using a RESIBLOCK SQUEEGEE, working well into the joints. Allow to dry for 24 hours before walking on the surface, and 72 hours before driving on it.

WARNING :

RESIECCO must not be allowed to pond on the surface of the pavers or create a surface film. If practical let efflorescence rise to the surface for 8 weeks before cleaning and sealing new block paving. Do not apply to surfaces cooler than 10ºC (maximum temperature 30°C). Do not apply more than one coat at a time and wait until this coat is completely worn before applying a new coat; an over-accumulation of sealant may cause, after a while, whitening of the surface. Do not allow RESIECCO onto areas which are not to be treated. Once curing has started RESIECCO is difficult to remove. Clean off accidental spillages immediately with a damp cloth.

HEALTH & SAFETY Safety clothing is recommended. Do not use in the presence of foodstuffs. See current Safety Data Sheet.

CURING:

Curing commences immediately, to leave the surface dry after approximately 8 hours (depending on weather conditions). Protect from rain for at least 24 hours.

APPEARANCE:

RESIECCO solvent free paving sealer contains micronised particles that produce an opaque appearance when wet but will be clear when dry. We strongly recommend the application of a trial area where the appearance of the treated surface is of particular importance and to test that the paving is sufficiently porous to absorb the solution evenly and without leaving a surface film.

COVERAGE:

2.5m²/litre, depending on the porosity of the treated surface. It is recommended that a small area be tested to determine the exact amount needed.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION RESIECCO is a jointing sand stabiliser of exceptional effectiveness, based on a low viscosity thermoplastic-acryl copolymer emulsion. Whitish in liquid state but becomes clear when dry. It incorporates a completely unique moisture drying system eliminating the problems common to conventional solvent acrylic systems. Since it is solvent free it does not give off unpleasant odours. Its function is to bind the particles of sand together and to the vertical faces of the paver. RESIECCO is formulated for all flexibly laid paving. FEATURES • Single component requires no thinning or use of a reactive ingredient • Environmentally friendly • Solvent free – safe for use internally • Polymerisation effected by moisture evaporation and absorption by surrounding substrate • Allows pavement to retain its normal flexural qualities • Manufactured under ISO 9002 • Micro-elastomeric • Easy application by Resiblock Squeegee • Withstands temperature in excess of 100 deg C • High degree of resistance to commercial chemicals • Unaffected by commercial de-icing salts • Can be easily removed so as to allow easy access to services below pavers • Can be applied by non-technical personnel STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY MAINTAINED TO PAVING JOINTING SAND REMAINS IN PLACE UNDER MOST CONDITIONS, INCLUDING WATER FLOWS AND VACUUM SWEEPING. RENDERS THE JOINTS PARTIALLY IMPERMEABLE TO WATER. PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH PAVER DESTABILISATION AND RUTTING LARGELY ELIMINATED. SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES OIL AND DIRT PENETRATION. RESTRICTS WEED/GRASS GROWTH IN THE JOINTS. THE SYSTEM Special Properties Maintains performance life of pavement. Yields significant whole life cost savings and reduces interim maintenance. Satisfies requirements of Local Agenda 21. Contributes to ‘Best Value’. Fuses seamlessly to all Interfaces. Resists weed and grass growth in the joints. Ideal for use with:- CBP Concrete Flags Fields of Application PEDESTRIAN AREAS FOOTPATHS PRECINCTS CAR PARKS AND RAMPS DRIVEWAYS PATIOS SHOPPING MALLS Limitations of Use PIC, Engineering Bricks, Quarry Tiles, Clay Pavers, Marble and Natural Stone. GENERAL TECHNICAL DATA Coverage 1.8 – 2.6 sq mtrs /l depending on joint width and paver porosity Cleaning of Tools Water/detergent Drying Time Dependant on ambient conditionsresulting in water evaporation Storage Store at room temperature range of 5 - 30 degrees C. Protect from frost. Do not allow to freeze. Flash Point Not flammable Can Sizes 5l cans and 25l kegs Shelf Life 18 months (unopened containers) Shipping Specification Not regulated RESIECCO APPLICATION INFORMATION 1 Make sure the surface and jointing sand are THOROUGHLY DRY and free from dirt. Paving containing dampness will significantly reduce joint penetration. 2 Ensure that RESIECCO is only applied when there is no risk of rain within the next 24 hours. 3 Do not apply in extremes of temperature (below 5 deg C and above 30 deg C) 4 Ensure paving is thoroughly swept and that no jointing sand remains in the chamfers of the pavers. On non-chamfered paving sand must be swept at least 3 - 5mm from surface. 5 Stir contents well 6 Apply to surface using a watering can (with the rose) and remove all surplus with the RESIBLOCK SQUEEGEE. Leave to sit on surface for 2 - 3 mins before squeegeeing it off. If applying to a riven surface, ensure RESIECCO is rubbed into the surface with a clean rag to prevent pooling in the depressions. 7 Accurate application rates are critical to ensure full joint stabilisation (typically 1 litre/ 2 sq m 100 x 200 CBP). 8 RESIECCO is usually only applied as a 1 coat system. 9 Avoid walking on the sealed area for 8 hours after application and do not drive motor vehicles on the surface for 72 hours. 10 ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND GOGGLES. Please refer to current MSDS. 11 All uncured sealant and tools should be cleaned immediately using water and detergent. RESIECCO on some surfaces (particularly low porosity or wet-cast products) may in certain circumstances temporarily reduce the SRV. Please trial on an un-trafficked area first to confirm suitability. If necessary a fine aggregate can be added between 2 coats to provide excellent grip characteristics. RESIECCO cannot be used on any previously sealed surfaces.
