FILA PW10

Eco-Compatible Pre-Laying Treatment Against Efflorescence

What's It For:

• Efflorescence-blocking sealant for application before laying on the back of tiles and absorbent paving slabs.
• Stops contaminants rising from the substrate to the material surface (salts, tannin, oxides, etc.).
• Prevents the formation of streaks and/or stains.
• Specifically designed for natural stones, granite, marble, agglomerates, terracotta, and absorbent materials.
• Has water-repellent and consolidating properties.

Advantages:

1. Contaminant Blocking: Prevents stains and streaks on the surface.
2. Breathable: Does not form a surface film, allows treated materials to breathe.
3. Adhesion Properties: Does not essentially alter the adhesion properties of the glue.
4. Water-Based Product.
5. Ultimate Protection.
6. Prevents Blackening: When applied after laying on natural stone, concrete, and other absorbent materials, it prevents blackening caused by smog, pollution, carbonation, sulphation processes, and biodeterioration.
7. VOC-Free Product: Low environmental impact with an Indoor Air Comfort Gold Certificate.

Ideal For:

• Back of Natural Stone Surfaces
• Granite
• Marble
• Agglomerates
• Terracotta and Absorbent Materials

Method of Use:

• No dilution required: Ready to use.
• Pre-Laying Treatment: Protection on 5 Sides:
  • Clean the back of the tile or slab, ensuring it's dry and free from damp.
  • Apply the product evenly on the back and edges using a flat paintbrush or airless sprayer.
  • Bond the material when completely dry after approximately 12 to 24 hours.
• Protection on 6 Sides:

  • Apply one coat of PW10 using an airless spray pump or paintbrush, spreading it evenly on all sides.
  • Bond the material when completely dry after approximately 12 to 24 hours.
• Laying Application - Surface Protection:
  • Ensure the surface is dry and clean, apply the product by impregnating the material until saturated using a brush or airless sprayer.
  • Dab any excess product before it dries. The surface will dry after 6 hours.

Coverage:

• Approximate Coverage (1 litre): 10-15 m²
  • Coverage rates are indicative.

Note:

• In the case of glossy surfaces, pay special attention to the application method to avoid percolating the product on the front and staining the surface.
• Do not apply the product on the front of polished surfaces.
• Verify with the manufacturer the suitable binder for the material’s intended use.
• When used on a material with resin and/or mesh on the back, PW10 must be applied only on the edges and the top side.
