Nano-Gard 100 Plus

Manufacturer: Gemite Products Inc.

Basic Use

Nano-Gard 100 Plus is a clear, water borne penetrating sealer, which is used for waterproofing, dustproofing, hardening, moisture and oil proofing of concrete walls, floors, parking garage slabs, walks and driveways. It is mixed with water in ratios varying from 1.5 to 2.5 volume parts of water to 1 volume part of Nano-Gard 100 Plus. For maximum penetration, the dilution ratio is typically 1 volume part of Nano-Gard 100 Plus to 2 volume parts of potable water.

Composition of Materials

Contains water borne silicate solutions and modifying agents. When properly diluted with water, it penetrates through the capillary pores of concrete and chemically reacts with products of hydration, filling the open pores and closing small voids. On curing the treatment results in formationof hydrophobic particles, providing a highly effective waterproofing in combination with Nano-Gard 100 ST, typically applied in the first coat.

Limitations

Provides water repellence. It may cause a slight darkening of the substrate in some instances. Prepare a site test sample for approval by client/architect if the possibility of darkening is of concern. Keep in mind that the hydrophophobic Nano-Gard 100 Plus can be applied only in one coat. Hydrophobicity does not allow penetration of the second coat. It will disappear in time due to dirt deposited on the floor surface, or dust on wall surfaces, but the water penetration reduction due to the presence of hydroiphobic particles in capillary remains. Larger dynamic cracks must be treated separately.

Health and Safety

Nano-Gard 100 Plus is nontoxic and nonflammable. Do not take internally; keep out of reach of children.Depending on the degree of alkalinity, (the dilution ratio with water), Nano-Gard 100 Plus may irritate or burn the skin and eyes. If contact with skin occurs, wash with soap and water. Harmful if digested.Keep the product out of reach of children. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY. It is non-hazardous for transportation purposes.
