Slip Resistance: ASSET^TM can increase the static coefficient of friction on most sealed surfaces when dry. Compliance with American Disability Act's recommendations for slip resistance (ASTM C 1028-89) on polished & honed surfaces. Exceeds C.O.F. 60.

Sample Testing: Due to the differences of each material, several inconspicuous test patches should be completed to assure maximum performance. User must determine suitability of the product for their intended use.

Protect Neighboring Surfaces: Always protect neighboring surfaces including wood, carpet, metal, landscaping and other non masonry surfaces.

Apply ASSET^TM to all surfaces prior to grouting. This step will allow quick and easy cleanup after grouting. Grout can stain many surfaces if this procedure is not used prior to the grouting process. Apply ASSET^TM using a clean towel. Apply enough to wet the surface. Be careful not to saturate the open grout joints. Allow ASSET^TM to stand for approximately 3 - 5 minutes for maximum penetration. All excess must be removed at this time by buffing surface with a clean dry towel. This is very important on polished, glazed surfaces, and porcelain surfaces. Allow ASSET^TM to cure for 12 - 24 hours before continuing with the grouting procedure.

After Grouting: Once grouted, make sure that all grout residue is removed from the surface with a clean sponge and water. Allow grout to dry at least 24 - 72 hours. If grout clean up is not performed effectively, an additional cleaning may be necessary to remove remaining grout residue or haze.

Grout Sealing: Once the area has completely dried, proceed with the sealing of the grout for water and stain resistance. Apply ASSET^TM to all grout with a thin paintbrush. Any excess sealer that gets on the surface should be wiped off with a clean towel before it dries.On larger jobs, grout can be sealed by retreating the entire area including the tile or stone surface a second time. Be careful not to allow sealer to puddle or dry on presealed surfaces.

Floor Coating/Wax Removal: To remove existing coatings and/or waxes, use Flexstrip per the instructions.

Heavy Duty Cleaning: To remove lime and hard water deposits, efflorescence, rust, grease and other heavy dirt and grime use NS Groutcleaner or Phosphoric Acid Cleaner as directed. For a non-acid deep clean use OnGuard^TM as directed.

Light Duty Cleaning: Use FlexClean^TM as directed.

Surface must be dry and free of contaminants, including previously applied sealers, dirt, lime & hard water deposits, efflorescence, rust & other heavy dirt and grime.

Application Instructions: Follow the application instructions previously mentioned, except now, seal the grout and tile or stone surface at the same time. When treating surfaces together, make sure that the recessed grout is saturated with sealer.

Cure Time: ASSET^TM will be dry to the touch in 1 - 3 hours and may be put into service. For optimum results the area should be kept dry and free from staining materials for 24 - 72 hours.

Coverage: Coverage will vary depending on the density, porosity, texture, surface absorption, weather, time solution left on surface and application methods. Used as directed, ASSET^TM will cover approximately 2000 sq.ft. per gallon (3.785 liters).

Storage: Store ASSET^TM in the original container, properly sealed to avoid contamination and evaporation. Stored at 77° F (40° C), ASSET^TM will have a shelf life of 12 months. Do not allow to freeze.

Caution Keep out of Reach of Children
Warning: Detectable amounts of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm may be found in this product.
ASSET^TM may cause irritation of eyes and skin. Avoid contact and prolonged breathing. Use in a well ventilated area. Good ventilation means that fresh air is flowing in such a way as to feel a slight breeze. Open windows and use fans to circulate air. Continue to ventilate until vapors are eliminated. Exposure to high vapor concentration must be avoided. Inhaling the vapors can be harmful. Keep away from heat and open flames. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Chemical resistant gloves should be worn at all times. Keep small children and pets out of area until product or surfaces has thoroughly dried. Refer to the MSDS for additional information. This product cannot totally eliminate the possibility of slipping.
