Properties
• Preserves the natural look of pavers
• Perfect for hazardous, slip-prone areas
• Impregnating – non-film forming
• Water based

Made of water- and oil-repellent agents, iN Protector is specially designed to protect concrete pavers. It helps prevent efflorescence and deterioration due to chemical products such as de-icing salts, while providing resistance to acids and alkalis. Its active agents form an invisible bond that stops the penetration of contaminants, facilitating the maintenance of pavers. Water based, iN Protector does not release unpleasant fumes, and it is environmentally friendly.

Before you begin
Do not apply to stamped concrete.
Application to natural stone or wet cast pavers: Contact Techniseal® for more information at 1 800 465-7325. 
Apply only to bare material* or to material previously sealed with this product.
Wait until surface is no longer water-repellent before recoating (minimum 2 years)
With the appropriate Techniseal® stripper, remove any unknown coating that was previously applied. 
ALWAYS TEST on a small hidden area of approximately 0.4 m2 (4 sq. ft.) to ensure that result meets your expectations (see Warranty).

*ABSORPTION TEST : Sprinkle a few drops of water on surface. If water is absorbed, move on to the next point. If water is repelled, do not apply this product.

Surface preparation (Essential)
1. Cover vegetation, vehicles and adjacent surfaces that are not to be treated.
2. Remove stains with the appropriate Techniseal® stain removers.
3. Prepare the entire surface with HD Paver Prep from Techniseal® (efflorescence cleaner), as directed on product label.

Application
Application Conditions :
• Surface must be clean, dry and warm to the touch.
• Temperature must be between 10°C and 30°C.
• No rain forecasted for the next 24 hours.
• Sprinkler system must be turned off.
• Use a consistent application method over entire surface.

Necessary Tools :

• 10 to 12 mm polyester nap roller, and paint tray
• Low-pressure airless sprayer (< 50 psi) or pump sprayer (optional)

Do not dilute. Shake well or stir product before and during application. Work in sections of no more than 9.2 m2 
(100 sq. ft.). Apply in such a way that you can return to each section without walking on fresh Protector (2 coats weton-wet technique).

Sprayer Application (Best Practice) :
Saturate the surface with a first coat of Protector. Remove excess with the roller. Immediately upon completion of a section, apply a second coat following the same method as before. Repeat for subsequent sections, maintaining a wet edge in order to prevent overlap marks.

Roller Application :
Saturate the surface with a first coat of Protector, avoiding accumulation of excess product. Immediately upon completion of a section, apply a second coat following the same method as before. Maintain a wet edge in order to prevent overlap marks.

Traffic : Pedestrian: 24 h. / Vehicular: 48 to 72 h. Block access during that period

Caution
• Any new concrete product has the potential to produce efflorescence (whitish salts) on its surface. This Protector will not trap efflorescence, which will disappear by itself after prolonged exposure to weathering.
• Do not attempt sprayer application on windy days.
• Do not apply this product over a blotchy or hazed surface.
• An over-accumulation of product could make dust stick onto the surface.
• Wait 30 days after the installation of polymeric sand before sealing the pavers.

Cleaning & Disposal
Wash tools and hands with warm soapy water. Consult your retailer or municipality regarding the disposal of empty containers or unused product.
