DRY TIME
It is recommended that Statguard
room temperature in excess of 70°F for 1 hour or until
dry. At high relative humidity levels, a longer drying time
may be necessary. Do not use force air drying. Wait 6
hours before any light traffic, 12 hours before regular
traffic, and 72 hours before any wet maintenance,
heavy equipment and floor truck traffic.
CLOSE CONTAINER AFTER EACH USE. KEEP
FROM FREEZING. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
Optional Base Coat
Statguard
base coat to enhance the electrical properties where
conductive applications are needed. Statguard
Dissipative Floor Finish will seal out dirt, debris and
protect the conductive surface allowing for ease of
maintenance and enhanced shine. Statguard
polymer base floor finish/sealer that can be used as a
top coat on the Conductive Latex Paint. Two coats are
recommended; three coats will enhance electrical
properties, durability and reduce frequency of
maintenance. Ask your Desco Representative for
Technical Bulletin TB-2080 for more information on

Floor Preparation - Stripping
Always apply in a well ventilated area.
Stripping the floor is recommended for first time
application of any finish. New tiles are supplied with a
protective factory finish that protects during installation
but should be stripped away prior to any floor finish
application. Properly maintained floors should be
stripped annually, depending on traffic and buildup of
contaminated finish. Statguard
recommended to strip multiple layers of floor finish.

It is recommended to test the stripped surfaces after
the second rinse to ensure that high pH residues are
rinsed away. Some high pH strippers will leave a
residue behind even after several rinses. A high pH can
affect the floor finish curing time as well as other
properties of the finish. To test for high pH residue, test
either the rinse water or the floor using either a pH
measuring instrument or a piece of pH indicating litmus
paper. A safe pH will be between 7.0 (neutral) and 9.9
(mildly alkaline). Two sources for litmus paper are
