ONYX SHIELD

HIGH GLOSS PROTECTIVE MICRO–GUARD FOR POLISHED CONCRETE

DESCRIPTION:

ONYX SHIELD is a unique blend of specially selected micro–polymer hybrids designed to form a durable high gloss protective micro-finish on and in polished concrete.  ONYX SHIELD develops rapid hardness, scratch, scuff and water resistance, unlike concrete polish “guard” products currently on the market, which are water sensitive and require 7 to 14 days to develop properties.  ONYX SHIELD has excellent flow and leveling properties and is easy to apply.  ONYX SHIELD provides outstanding floor protection and appearance over extended periods of time, providing a savings in labor and materials.  ONYX SHIELD exceeds the Coefficient of Friction safety standards of ASTM Designation D-2047.  VOC content: Less than 1% by weight or less than 10 grams per liter.

APPLICATION:

Surfaces shall be dry, structurally sound, clean and free of dirt, grime and other foreign substances.  Apply one to two thin, even coats of ONYX SHIELD using a pump–up sprayer and flat–pad microfiber applicator by “spray and spread” technique.  For optimal results, allow 45 minutes of dry time between coats.

HIGH SPEED BURNISHING:

For optimal gloss development, safety, durability and surface protection ONYX SHIELD should be burnished with ONYX ReJuve Black diamond impregnated pad using an ONYX UHS Black Diamond or Blue Sky Propane Burnisher.  ONYX SHIELD may be burnished after 45 minutes of dry time.

MAINTENANCE:

Use ONYX CLEAN heavy duty detergent at 1—2 ozs. per gallon dilution for routine damp mopping. The floor may then be burnished as necessary for gloss enhancement or repair.

RECOAT:

The typical recoat cycle for ONYX SHIELD is every 3 to 6 months depending on the amount and type of traffic.  Scrub the floor with an ONYX Panther Stripper / Scrubber or automatic scrubber and blue or green (medium scrub) pads using ONYX CLEAN Heavy Duty Cleaners at a dilution of 4—6 ounces per gallon of water.  Rinse the floor with clean water and let dry before applying ONYX SHIELD.
