Tamala Shield Sealer

Tamala Shield is specialized water based acrylic emulsion/silicone surface treatment with exceptional binding qualities, designed for the treatment of vertical and horizontal surfaces. When applied correctly it repels water and is resistant to bacterial and fungal attack, assisting in the retardation of substrate discolouration. It allows the substrate to "breathe" naturally allowing trapped moisture to escape. The product dries to a clear matt finish, is UV stable and is virtually undetectable upon application. It can last many years when applied correctly and has been used successfully on all Natural Limestone products.

Preparation:
Ensure the area to be treated is clean of all surface contaminants/dirt and is completely dry.
Precaution to be taken around all windows and doors, paying special attention to glass areas.

Application:
Apply one coat TAMALA-SHIELD using the flood coat method, starting at the top of the area being treated, working in a sideways and downwards motion allowing the material to run ahead of itself to provide complete coverage.

CAUTION:
1. Do not apply TAMALA-SHIELD if rain is expected within 12 hours.
