Floor Preparation - Surface
CONCRETE
Two measures are used to determine a good concrete
surface for Statfree
1. The surface should be sealed.
2. The surface should be cleaned of all contaminants.
SURFACE
Surface to be finished should be clean, dry, and smooth.
Heavy dirt or grease build up should be removed with a
stripper or degreaser. DO NOT use Statfree
colder than 45° F.
SEALING
Surface preparation is absolutely critical for porous
materials such as concrete. Proper preparation simplifies
application, increases durability and ensures proper
performance. Industrial grade polyurethane, vinyl or acrylic
base sealers are recommended to seal highly porous floors
before the application of Statfree
sealers can be used for bare wood, while enamel undercoat
with rust inhibitors are recommended for metal surfaces.
DO NOT use Statfree
New concrete should be allowed to cure for 60 days before
sealing. Concrete surfaces do not all have the same
physical and chemical properties. They vary widely due to
the variety of ways concrete can be formulated, poured or
finished.
There are several methods to prepare problem concrete.
Each method depends on the condition of the concrete.
Cleaning methods range from: sweeping, vacuuming, wire
brush, air-blasting, water jet, steam cleaning, or stripping.
Concrete surfaces are very porous and should be properly
sealed prior to the application of Statfree
Adhesion properties for the concrete sealer can be
increased by profiling or rouging the concrete surface
through acid etching, rotary drum sanding, scarifying or
mechanically scratching the surface. The concrete sealer
will reduce the porosity of the concrete and provide a
smooth level surface for the finish. The sealer also provides
a barrier to prevent any water migrating up through the
surface of the concrete.

No Sealer Application: Sealing is recommended for
increas ing coverage and correcting problem concrete
surfaces that are not dry or free from grease, oil, etc. If the
subfloor surface is dry, level, and free from dirt, grease, oil,
paint, sealer, old adhesives, and other foreign materials it
may be suitable to applying Statfree
concrete.
COvERAGE

smooth surfaces. Coverage is less on coarse or textured
surfaces. With 18% solids, Statfree
to apply with significantly better productivity than competing
brands.
DRY TIME
It is recommended that Statfree
touch. At higher relative humidity levels, a longer drying
time may be necessary. Do not use force air drying. Wait
6 hours before allowing light traffic, 12 hours before regular
traffic, 48 hours before any wet maintenance, and 72 hours
before heavy equipment and floor truck traffic.
CLOSE CONTAINER AFTER EACH USE. KEEP FROM
FREEZING. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
Floor Stripping

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 one to three times
annually, depending on traffic and buildup of contaminated
finish. Statguard
multiple layers of floor finish or coatings.
Equipment needed:
• Push broom
• Single pad 175 RPM stripping machine
• Mops
• Statguard
• Buckets
• Wet vacuum
(with black or brown stripping pad)
