PTS+ application manual

Penetrating Top Seal Plus — Application guide

Step 1: Surface preparation

  • PTS+ is a coating. i.e. it’s going to cover anything left on the surface to be treated.
  • So, ensure the surface is dry and clean.
  • Ensure the surface to be treated will not get wet for at least 24 hours after treatment. No rain, sprinklers etc.

Step 2: Applying PTS+

  • Use a Hudson-can-style hand-pump sprayer for even, wetting, application.
  • Spray back and forth over the same area a minimum 2 to 3 times, overlapping as you move up to the adjoining dry area.
  • For vertical surfaces, apply from the bottom up.
  • For horizontal surfaces, apply from the low point (i.e., near a drain) up to the high point.
  • Apply until the surface stays wet for 5 to 10 seconds.
  • Spread any puddles remaining after 30 seconds with a mop or squeegee.
  • PTS+ can be applied to anything it does not bead up on.
  • It is impossible to apply a second coat of PTS+ over a previously PTS+ treated surface that has dried.

Step 3: Coverage

  • Coverage depends on the profile of the concrete surface. i.e. minute hills and valleys of exposed aggregate will require slightly more product than machine trowelled floors.
  • Expect 200 to 300 square feet per gallon with the average about 250 square feet per gallon.

Step 4: Curing time

  • The surface treated with PTS+ will air cure in a few hours.
  • Do not walk on the wet surface before it air dries.
  • Do not allow any vehicular traffic for a minimum 24 hours.

Safety and handling

  • PTS+ is water-based and not flammable.
  • Wear rubber gloves and safety glasses. PTS+ causes skin and serious eye irritation; see the safety data sheet.

Cleanup

  • Clean up hands and tools with soap and water.
