Polished Concrete - Scofield® Formula One™ Finish Coat

A lithium silicate densifier modified to add water and stain repellent properties to bare, densified, or polished concrete surfaces.

SCOFIELD® Formula One™ Finish Coat is a reactive lithium silicate densifier modified to add water and stain repellent properties to concrete and other cementitious surfaces. It can be used as a standalone product, or as a cost effective next stage surface treatment that adds water and stain resistant properties to previously densified or polished cementitious surfaces. It is VOC compliant, improves abrasion and scratch resistance, and is suitable for interior or exterior applications. It is not a coating, remains permeable to moisture vapors, and will not yellow, crack, peel, or delaminate from surfaces.

• Adds water and stain resistance.
• Low odor, non-yellowing water based formulation.
• Breathable non-film forming surface treatment.
• Bonds directly to cement and aggregate silicates.
• Effectively locks in concrete dyes.
• Hardens and improves scratch resistance.
• Deeply penetrates, and quickly reacts.
• Shortens concrete polishing times.
• UV light stable and weather resistant.
• Cures to a non-toxic, non-flammable surface.
• Apply by brush, roller, spray or mop.

Usage

Use full strength without dilution to add water, stain, and abrasion resistance to cementitious surfaces of:

• Interior or exterior floors
• Stairs and walkways
• Terrazzo
• Ground and polished floors
• Cementitious overlays
• Countertops
• Below grade basements

Application

Application Steps

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

If using spray equipment, always wear protective respirator. Mask adjacent areas to protect property from splashes and overspray. Dried material will be difficult to remove. Remove overspray immediately with soap and water.

SCOFIELD® Formula One™ Finish Coat should be used full strength without dilution. Although successful application can be performed with topical applications, the use of brooms, sponges, or mops to work material into substrate pores have proven to produce superior results.

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 remove. All concrete must be at least 7 days old so that initial concrete cure is complete. A 28 day cure so that the slab is fully dry and absorbent is preferred.

Coverage

Coverage will depend upon method of application, surface porosity, age, moisture, absorption characteristics and the texture of the concrete. Coverage on flat finished concrete is typically 200-400 ft²/gal (4.9-9.8 m²/L). Old or soft concrete will require more material. Slabs ground to expose hard non absorptive aggregates will take less material.

Equipment

Apply SCOFIELD® Formula One™ Finish Coat by brush, roller, sponge, mop, or pump-spray application. Use rotary floor scrubbers equipped with brushes or pads to assist with large jobs. Always wear protective clothing and equipment proper for the method of application.

Spray applicator Guidelines:
Pump Garden Sprayer: Use conical tip and apply with circular motion.
