HG Hagesan Impregnating Sealer (HG Impregnator) Ref: HGSEALER
Use HG Impregnating Sealer (HG Impregnator) to impregnate porous terracotta tiles, brick, quarry tiles, victorian tiles, flagstones, un-glazed (porcelain or ceramic) tiles and natural stone floors and walls to protect against stains and stubborn marks.

For Marble, Travertine, Terrazzo, Limestone, Sandstone we recommend HG Marble and Natural Stone Impregnator which has smaller molecules and it is therefore slightly thinner to penetrate better on semi-porous materials.

To check the porosity of a surface to see if treatment is required use a tablespoon of water on the surface. If after 5-10 minutes none of the water has been absorbed into the surface, the surface is sealed and HG Impregnator is NOT required.

HG Impregnating Sealer (HG Impregnator) penetrates deep into the surface and completely seals off small pores. Larger pores are made smaller meaning liquid molecules can no longer be absorbed. However any dampness in the floor can still evaporate and the surfaces can still breathe.

HG Impregnating Sealer leaves a matt finish, enhances natural colours and does not contain silicone. HG Impregnator is suitable for inside and outside use.

When using HG Impregnator we recommend using Eye Protection and an Odour Respirator (for poorly vented areas) as well as protective gloves.

For additional protection (after using HG Impregnating Sealer) on brick, slate and other natural stone inside floors apply HG Satin Gloss Polish (Golvpolish). For additional surface protection on Terracotta floor tiles apply HG Terracotta Shine Seal or HG Terracotta Wax - available in two colours.

Coverage: approx. 8-10 m² per litre. 5 m² for 2 coats.

HG Hagesan Impregnating Sealer (HG Impregnator) Usage Instructions
Directions for use:

Make sure that an existing floor has not yet been treated with HG Impregnating Sealer (HG Impregnator) or another similar basic treatment. Carry out a porosity test if unsure.

It is recommended to ventilate well during the use of this product in order to speed up the drying process.

1. The surface to be treated with HG Impregnating Sealer (HG Impregnator) must be perfectly clean and free from grease and dirt. HG Cement Grout Film Remover (HG Extra) cleans off cement and grout stains from new floors.
HG Polish, Wax and Dirt Remover (HG Remover) strips old wax and deep cleans old floors. After rinsing off allow at least 3 days (24 hours with under floor heating) for the surface to dry thoroughly to ensure that HG Impregnator can be fully absorbed. Turn off any floor heating 12 hours before treatment.

Highly porous tiles such as terracotta, will need even more time to completely get rid of the water. For this type of tile we recommend at least 1 week (24 hours with under floor heating).

2. The glue/cement and grouting of new floors must be completely hardened and dry. The drying time is usually 4-6 weeks.

3. HG Impregnating Sealer is used neat (undiluted). Apply evenly, in one direction with our Superfine Roller or a Non-Fluffy Cloth.

4. If the HG Impregnating Sealer has not penetrated and remains on the tiles 10 minutes (maximum) after application this will need to be removed straight away with a clean lint-free cloth*. If the Impregnator is fully absorbed and no surplus is required to be wiped off, a second/third treatment may be needed until the HG Impregnator is no longer absorbed.

* VERY IMPORTANT: Over application of HG Impregnating Sealer (HG Impregnator) is very common - a second coat is rarely needed and excess HG Impregnator needs to be removed quickly. Excess HG Impregnator will sit on the surface and will give a streaky appearance if left. If the Impregnator is allowed to dry on the surface it CANNOT be removed - it will have to be left to wear off.

After treatment with HG Impregnating Sealer (HG Impregnator) the surface should retain a matt appearance. Allow at least one hour before applying a second or more coats depending on porosity.

5. After approx. 3 hours the surface can be walked upon and is completely protected 12 hours after the final treatment.

For additional protection on brick, slate and other natural stone inside floors apply HG Satin Gloss Polish (Golvpolish). For additional surface protection on Terracotta floor tiles apply HG Terracotta Shine Seal or HG Terracotta Wax - available in two colours.

Once absorbed the treatment of HG Impregnating Sealer (HG Impregnator) is permanent.

Coverage: Highly porous tiles: approx. 10-20 m² per litre, per treatment. Slightly porous tiles 20-40 m² per litre, per treatment

Maintenance: 100ml (a cup) of HG Superfloor Shine Cleaner in 10 litres of water.

Attention: Keep in a frost free area. When using HG Impregnating Sealer (HG Impregnator) we recommend using protective gloves.
