ENHANCE CRYSTALGUARD
A clear, scratch resistant polyaspartic coating for arduous conditions. Available in slow, medium and rapid cure speeds and in gloss, semi gloss and matt finishes.
Enhance Crystalguard is a polyaspartic coating that is easy to apply and will cure rapidly to enable fast return to service.
Enhance Crystalguard contains additives that protect the substrate from ultra violet light. It cures to form a hard, but flexible, surface that is extremely durable and long lasting, even under heavy traffic.
Typical Uses: For sealing and protecting all types of decorative and wooden flooring against damage by heavy traffic, UV light, moisture etc.
Type: Pure polyaspartic resin without reactive diluents.
Mix Ratio: See label on tin
Hardener: Xyanco X100
Resin Density: 1.03kg/litre
Coverage: 6-8m2 per litre
Minimum over-coating time: 4 hours
Maximum over-coating time: 3 days
Solvent: Xysol PU
Colours: Clear
Pack Sizes: 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 kilos
Shelf life and Storage: 6-12 months in original, unopened container. Store in cool and dry conditions
Preparation: No preparation is required when Enhance Reflective Crystalguard is applied to newly applied decorative resin substrates, such as Enhance Clearbond epoxy flake binder. Old resin substrates that are in good condition must be thoroughly cleaned and abraded before application. Timber surfaces should be sanded smooth and primed with a coat of Enhance Reflective Crystalguard diluted with Xysol PU solvent. When the primer coat has cured the the timber will need to be abraded again before application of one or two top coats.
Mixing: Add all of the can of hardener to the tin of Enhance Reflective Crystalguard resin and mix throughouhly for several minutes. An electric mixer is the ideal tool to ensure the components are mixed.
We recommend mixing for at least 2-3 minutes, ensuring that all materials on the sides and bottom of the tin are well incorporated. When mixed, the resin and hardener will start to react, generating heat. This will then accelerate the reaction. The greater the mass of resin, the more heat will be generated and the shorter the pot life. If you require a smaller quantity or are unable to use all of the material within its pot life, weigh out resin and hardener in the proportions specified on the label using digital scales.
Application: We recommend the use of a squeegee for larger areas, to aid spreading of the mixed Enhance Reflective Crystalguard. A short pile roller should then be used, to evenly coat the surface. Enhance Reflective Crystalguard should be applied liberally and evenly in order to form a thick, continuous film over the surface.
Over-coating: Can be overcoated as soon as it is can be walked on but should be overcoated within the time shown on the table overleaf. If it is allowed to cure beyond the maximum over-coating time, glossy areas must be abraded before a further coat is applied
