DESCRIPTION

CERTI-SHINE FINISH COAT ULTRA AIM is the next generation of the original non-film forming Certi-Shine Finish Coat, stain resistant water base penetrating sealer for polished concrete, and the final step when installing Certi-Shine Clear FSR or Certi-Shine MicroStain. The Certi-Shine Finish Coat Ultra WB technology is the best protection against staining in the market today. It provides the installer with a quick dry, burnish the same day product. It also provides the owner with greater than 24 hours of stain and etch resistance from acetic acid based food items such as vinegar, mustard, pickle and citrus juices along with other items. Certi-Shine Finish Coat Ultra WB is designed for use on polished concrete surfaces previously densified with Certi-Shine Clear, and rinsed with Certi-Shine Fixative. The treated surface will provide stain resistance while significantly increasing the gloss level and the co-efficient of friction

BENEFITS

• Quick dry-less than one hour
• High speed burnish same day
• 24 hour food and chemical stain protection
• No film to wear through
• Plugs micro-pores to provide stain protection
• Intensifies colored floors
• Helps hide polishing imperfections
• Non-slip finished floor
• Increased ease of maintenance
• No reapplication needed

SURFACE PREPARATION

Certi-Shine Finish Coat Ultra WB is the final product to be applied when installing Certi-Shine FSR. After Certi-Shine Fixative has been thoroughly rinsed, polish the concrete up to the desired level of shine. Clean and allow polished concrete to dry.

APPLICATION

• Certi-Shine Finish Coat Ultra WB should not be diluted or altered.
• Apply with low-pressure (20-50 psi) pump up sprayer and then spread ultra-thin with a Vexcon EvenFlow Applicator or microfiber pad. Sprayer should be clean and fitted with solvent resistant hoses and gaskets.
• Apply ultra thin (approximately 1500 sq. ft. /gal) so that the product just darkens or wets out the surface. Certi-Shine Finish Coat Ultra WB will dry in 30 minutes, depending on temperature and other conditions. See Coverage Section.
• Make sure all ridges, puddles or applicator marks are completely removed by rolling or pulling the surface smooth. Allow to dry prior to applying next coat. Three coats must be applied in this same manner. With each coat, it is expected that the dry time will be longer than the prior coat. Additional light coats may be required until the material no longer penetrates into the surface. Once all required coats are applied, allow to dry one hour or overnight.
• After drying, Certi-Shine Finish Coat Ultra WB must be high speed propane burnished.

Important: Burnishing is complete when all surface film has been removed.

HIGH SPEED PROPANE BURNISHING

Certi-Shine Finish Coat Ultra WB must be high speed propane burnished with surface temperature a minimum of 200 F above initial temperature.

• Use the black pad to create heat and remove all excess.
• Use the hogshair pad to bring out the shine
• Use the white pad to increase shine and dust off the surface.

MAINTENANCE

Spills should be removed promptly and cleaned StarSeal EF Degreaser and Cleaner (Data Sheet # OP 138) or a high quality commercial detergent. Floors should be cleaned as needed. For more details, see TN 40 Certi-Shine Maintenance
