Scofield Formula 1 Guard-W Concrete Sealer - 1 Gallon
SCOFIELD® Formula One™ Guard-W is a polymeric burnishing finish for smooth ground and polished concrete. Its hybrid composition combines lithium silicate's densifying and wear resistance with stain-blocking properties.
After applying a concrete densifier, polish SCOFIELD® Formula One™ Guard-W to the desired gloss level with high-speed floor burnishing equipment. When properly applied, it forms a thin, durable film with moisture transmission and no cracking, peeling, or delamination under normal conditions.
Use as a final concrete polish to guard and protect interior: Smooth ground concrete floors, Ground flat exposed aggregate, Ground smoothly embedded terrazzo, Ground smooth cementitious overlays, Countertops

PACKAGING:
1 gal. (3.8 L) can, 5 gals. (18.9 L) pail
CHEMICAL BASE:
Lithium Silicate with proprietary polymeric polish and water repellent
APPEARANCE / COLOR:
Milk is like liquid. When installed, it is colorless and clear.
SHELF LIFE:
18 months from the date of manufacture. 1 month after opening.
STORAGE CONDITIONS:
Store in original containers at 40°F to 110°F (4°C - 43°C). DO NOT FREEZE!
COVERAGE:
Coverage will depend upon the method of application, surface porosity, age, moisture, absorption characteristics, and the texture of the concrete. The application of two thin coats prior to burnishing is recommended. Spread rate on flat finished concrete that has been ground, densified, and roughly polished with a 400-grit abrasive disk, is typically 1000 ft2/gal (2.5m2/L) of diluted material. Slabs ground to expose hard non absorptive aggregates will take less material. For all uses and applications, spread or scrub puddles of excess material into surfaces before it is allowed to dry. Puddled material allowed to dry can form unsightly salts that are difficult to polish.
DRYING TIMES:
Dry times will depend upon weather conditions. At 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity surfaces should be dry and able to be polished in 1-2 hours. SCOFIELD® Formula One™ Guard-W has a self-crosslinking component, best results will be achieved if the final high-gloss polishing is performed after an overnight dry.
