MAXGLAZE® D
TRANSPARENT, GLOSS PROTECTION FOR CONCRETE, PREFABRICATED PANELS TEXTURED COATINGS AND BRICK

Description

Description

This is a liquid derived from methacrylate. It provides a durable, tough protective, flexible and gloss finish to concrete and masonry. It provides resistance to air pollutants, alkaline agents and ultra-violet rays.

Uses

Prefabricated and architectural concrete. Provides transparent protection while maintaining natural colour and texture.
Exposed concrete. Provides a decorative and pleasing transparent finish. It keeps it clean, free of surface lime, and protects it against harm from freezing and thawing.
Brick facades and decorative ceramics. Repels rainwater, prevents absorption and enhances the appearance.
Prevention of corrosion of concrete: mechanical, chemical and biological. Avoids damage to the structure caused by absorption of water and harmful substances.
Protects against mechanical corrosion, frost, destruction by salts, sulphates, chlorates, and nitrates.
It is vitally important in protecting reinforced concrete from corrosion. Formation of iron oxide in the reinforcement by moisture penetration causes great expansive pressures which damages and may crack the reinforced concrete.
Biological corrosion of reinforced concrete is caused by bacteria, fungus, moss, algae and lichen, and botanical and animal micro-organisms. These elements, combined with water from condensation and capillarity, cause formation of fungus on exterior as well as interior walls. This makes the affected areas uninhabitable.
Aluminium and stainless steel. Creates a surface film which protects against mortar, plaster and residues during building work.
Other surfaces. Is ideal to protect and decorate varied finishes of one-layer.

Advantages

- Creates a repellent film which is unchanged by water and protects the surface against frost/thaw cycles.
- Avoids formation of surface lime and pollution residues.
- Does not yellow, maintains and enhances the natural tone of the surface.
- Reduces maintenance costs and ensures better conservation of the surface treated.
- Resists ultra-violet rays, inert to the most commom acids, solvents, aliphatics, greases and oils.
- Strong adhesion, seals fissures and is flexible to movement of the substrate.
- A transparent protective covering is created to prevent corrosion of the concrete.

Application Instructions

Surface application.
Eliminate all traces of dirt, grease, flaking paint or eflorescence. The surface to be treated must becen clean and thoroughly dry.
Application.
MAXGLAZE-D comes ready to use. It is recommendable to stir it for a few seconds in the drum.
It may be applied with a brush, roller, or low pressure air-brush. Apply in two coats leaving two hours between each one.
Certain uses of MAXGLAZE-D may require it to be more diluted. In such cases, add MAXGLAZE SOLVENT up to a maximum of 10% of the base product. It is advisable to test before definitive application to check its fluidity. Use MAXGLAZE SOLVENT to clean equipment and unwanted splashes.
Application temperature.
10° C minimum and 35° C maximum temperature for material, atmosphere and surface base. The relative humidity of the air must not be more than 80%.

Precautions

MAXGLAZE-D is an inflammable liquid, so all normal storage, transport and handling precautions for these kinds of product should be observed. Do not smoke while applying or in the area where the equipment or opened drums are situated.
When applying to exterior and facades, avoid splashing glass or aluminium; should cleaning be required, use a solvent within one hour of splashing or staining. Wear protective clothing and glasses, avoid inhaling the vapour, and keep the working area well ventilated. Confined spaces must be provided with auxiliary ventilation.
When using in inhabited buildings, make sure that ventilation and air-conditioning devices are switched off.
Do not apply MAXGLAZE-D to frozen surfaces or on asphalt or vitrified bases.

Coverage

Between 2.5 and 6 m²/litre depending on the porosity of the surface.

Packaging

20 and 5 litre drums.
