- Artificial turf
- All surfaces (surface temperature 5-35C, swept or vacuumed free of loose dust and dirt, thoroughly wetted before the solution is applied)
Always test on a small area first and allow a 24-hour cure time to determine ease of application and the desired result. Apply only when the surface temperature is between 5C and 35C. Do not allow the solution to dry on the surface - clean large areas in sections and avoid applying in windy conditions. Once the solution has been mixed it must NOT be stored in a sealed container, or the container may rupture and cause injury. Only suitable on unfinished wood with no stain, oil or other coatings. The powder is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air, so keep containers well sealed and tightly closed. DANGER: harmful if swallowed, causes skin irritation, causes serious eye damage. Wear protective gloves, eye protection and face protection. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

Why trade professionals choose Stain Proof

The line covers solvent carried and waterborne sealers for natural stone, porcelain, quartz, pavers, concrete and grout, plus colour enhancing options and the acid, alkaline and daily cleaners used to prepare and maintain sealed surfaces. Supplied to the Australian trade through The Waterproofing Shop, including seal, clean and maintain packs that cover a whole job in one order.
