Item # SPAL-PRO SPF, SPF Stain Preventing Film for Epoxy & Polyurea Joint Fillers On United Surface Preparation

Spal-Pro SPF is a water based, one component liquid that, when dry, creates a thin film. This film creates a protective seal over concrete to prevent or reduce staining caused by joint filler and joint sealant overfill.
SPF can be used to protect conventional concrete, colored concrete, stained concrete, tile and other surfaces. SPF will prevent staining by most epoxy, polyurea and polyurethane fillers and sealants.

Unit of Measure

Effectiveness

N/A The degree of stain prevention provided will depend upon:

The density and porosity of the surface to be protected
The thickness and evenness of the film applied
The staining potential of the specific filler or sealant used.

A test application of the SPF with the intended filler should always be performed in advance (ideally on the floor where the filler is to be installed) to determine SPF's effectiveness and the film thickness required to prevent staining.

Advantages

N/A

SPF prevents/minimizes epoxy/polyurea slab staining
SPF makes overfill shaving easier, reducing labor
SPF contains no VOC's
SPF is water soluble for easy clean up and removal

Limitations

N/A

SPF is not suitable for use in freezers, due to its water-based chemistry
SPF should not be used when filler/sealant is water based

Coverage Rates

N/A Coverage rate on steel troweled industrial concrete floors is approx. 700 s.f./gal. Coverage rate will vary depending upon surface density/porosity, specific filler/sealant, ambient temperature and humidity and applied film thickness.
