SUBSTRATE AND ITS PREPARATION
The substrate must be solid, dry, clean, dust-free, and grease-free. It must be hard, not flaking from frost, and not crumbling.
After polishing, clean the substrate with clean water, scrub with a medium-hard bristle brush. Rinse the substrate thoroughly, dry it, and allow it to dry.
It is recommended to apply the product over an area of 1–2 m² to check the impregnation result, evaluate the appearance (shade darkening), and determine the required amount of product.
MIX PREPARATION
Shake well before use. Maintain the uniformity of the mixture throughout the work.
APPLICATION
Apply REPELOIL with a brush or a flat microfiber mop attached to a handle or machine. A vacuum sprayer can also be used with low pressure (max. 1 bar) and at a distance of 5–10 cm from the nozzle (precaution: check the hose's resistance and tightness to solvents). In this case, REPELOIL is applied in 40–50 cm strips. For vertical surfaces, work in horizontal strips, always starting from the bottom. Apply REPELOIL in one go until saturation and leave it to act for about 10–15 minutes. Wipe off any excess with a cloth to ensure no product remains on the surface, and allow it to dry until a matte effect is achieved. Repeat the process at least a second time after about 5 hours. If porosity requires it, repeat as many times as necessary.
If the application is done improperly (resulting in reduced effectiveness or uneven coverage), it can be reapplied. The water and oil repellency effect appears after a few minutes, and full effectiveness is achieved after 3–4 days.
Once REPELOIL has dried, perform the first cleaning with FINISH SA TR diluted in water.
Once REPELOIL has dried (for indoor use only), apply a protective coat of BEALWAX to the surface to ensure more effective protection and water repellency.
POLISHING
To prevent stains or a haze on polished surfaces, they need to be repolished (using a pad, a very soft cloth, or sheepskin).
If you are using BEALWAX, once it has dried completely, polishing with a “sheepskin” type pad will give the surface a satin finish and help distribute the product more evenly across the surface.
CLEANING OF OTHER TOOLS
Fresh product is cleaned with lukewarm or hot soapy water.
MAINTENANCE
For surfaces treated with the oil-repellent impregnating agent REPELOIL, maintenance is required without using aggressive (corrosive) substances.
For cleaning: FINISH SA TR diluted in water.
For lime removal (also for faucets): vinegar diluted in water. Start with a low concentration and increase it depending on the hardness of the water (from 20% vinegar / 80% water to max. 50% vinegar / 50% water).
To renew the protective coating: Apply a new layer of REPELOIL with a cloth.
WARNINGS
- Work areas must be protected from rain, sun, wind, and cold until completely dry.
- It is strictly not recommended to apply on substrates containing salts (sodium sulfate, nitrates, calcium...).
- During and after application, good ventilation is essential, and when used in the food industry – for about 2–3 days.
- Excess product causes the appearance of a film and stains.
- When stored at temperatures below 15°C, the product tends to thicken; when stored at approximately 20°C, it becomes completely liquid and homogeneous.
- Treated surfaces must be protected from direct sunlight.
- It is necessary to protect surrounding work area locations.
TIPS
- Strictly adhere to application protocols according to the product's intended use. Never use other products than those specified in this technical data sheet to avoid any risk of damage.
- For the same object and the same type of product, always use products with the same batch number.
- Always conduct tests with the selected protection, as each pigment and each protection reacts differently.
ENVIRONMENT
Dispose of at a specialized waste collection center.
SAFETY
Wear appropriate goggles, gloves, and a mask. If sprayed: do not inhale vapors (protective mask). It is recommended to protect hands during application. Under normal usage conditions, the hardened product is not harmful. If swallowed, seek medical advice.
