Certified Indoor Air Comfort Gold
Product with low VOC emissions which guarantees high indoor air quality
PW10
ECO-COMPATIBLE PRE-LAYING TREATMENT AGAINST EFFLORESCENCE
what's it for
- Efflorescence-blocking sealant to be applied before laying on the back of tiles and absorbent paving slabs
- The product stops contaminants rising up from the substrate to the material surface (salts, tannin, oxides etc.), preventing the formation of streaks and/or stains.
- Specific product for natural stones, granite, marble, agglomerates, terracotta and absorbent materials.
- It has water-repellent and consolidating properties.
advantages
- The product stops contaminants rising up from the substrate and prevents the formation of stains and streaks on the surface.
- It does not form a surface film and allows treated materials to breathe.
- In accordance with the UNI EN 1348-2009 and ASTM C482-02 R-2009 standards, it does not essentially alter the adhesion properties of the glue.
- Water-based product
- Ultimate protection
- Ideal for floors and all surfaces.
- When applied to natural stone, concrete and other absorbent materials after laying, it prevents the blackening of the material caused by smog, pollution, carbonatation and sulphation processes and biodeterioration.
- A VOC-free product with a low environmental impact and INDOOR AIR COMFORT GOLD certificate
ideal for
- BACK OF NATURAL STONE SURFACES
- GRANITE
- MARBLE

Application:
PRE-LAYING TREATMENT: PROTECTION ON 5 SIDES: to block contaminating agents (stains, yellow stains, binder application errors) on the back and on the 4 sides of the material.Carefully clean the back of the tile or slab, removing any dust and residues. Check that the surface is dry and free from damp. Ensure that the surface is dry, then apply the product evenly and continuously on the back and on the edges of the material using a flat paintbrush or airless sprayer, while trying to avoid excess product.Bond the material when completely dry, wait approximately 12 hours (temperatures between 20 °C and 40 °C) to 24 hours (temperatures between 10°C and 20°C) before bonding the material. Choose the adhesive suited to the type of installation, according to the UNI EN 12004:2012-2 standard.Store the material so that it can dry fully. After the initial wash, the surface treatment can be completed with the water-based or solvent-based protector most suited to the material’s intended use.PROTECTION ON 6 SIDES: in the presence of high humidity, it can be used to block contaminating agents (oxidation, stains, yellow stains, binder application errors) on the back and 4 sides of the material and to create a water-repellent effect on the front.Carefully clean both sides of the tile or slab, removing any dust and residues. Check that the surface is dry and free from damp. Apply one coat of PW10 using an airless spray pump or flat paintbrush, spreading the solution evenly on all sides of the material and avoiding any surface pooling.The product can also be applied by immersing the material in it for roughly 30 seconds. Product residues must be removed by dabbing the material with a cloth, to avoid excess product on the surface.Bond the material when completely dry, wait approximately 12 hours (temperatures between 20 °C and 40 °C) to 24 hours (temperatures between 10°C and 20°C) before bonding the material. Choose the adhesive suited to the type of installation, according to the UNI EN 12004:2012-2 standard.After the initial wash, the surface treatment can be completed with the solvent-based protective agent most suited to the material’s intended use.LAYING APPLICATION - SURFACE PROTECTION: to create a water-repellent effect on the front of the tile. Make sure that the surface is dry and clean, then apply the product by impregnating the material until it is saturated, using a brush or airless sprayer.Dab any excess product with a clean cloth before it dries. The surface will dry after just 6 hours. The spraying system is only allowed for professional use, using the appropriate PPE, as indicated in the safety data sheet.
Please note
In case of glossy surfaces, pay special attention to the application method so as to avoid percolating the product on the front and staining the surface. Do not apply the product on the front of polished surfaces. It is advisable to verify with the manufacturer the suitable binder for the material’s intended use. When used on a material that has resin and/or mesh on the back, PW10 must be applied only on the edges and on the top side.
