Resilience:

(mechanical)

Glass. ceramic > 40.000 cycles according to ISO 11998 (cleaning with water)

Temperature Sensitivity: 3 to 40°C
Usage: Wipes: 1 x cleaning and polymerizing wipe + 1 x activating wipe for up to 3m²

Spray: Approximately 10ml/m2  for Cleaner + Primer and Liquid Guard spray

Application: step 1 use the cleaning and polymerising wipe/spray (LIQUID GUARD® clean and primer wipe) to degrease and clean the surfaces thoroughly. Only in case of extreme contamination (or limescale) should a pre-cleaner for the specific type of contamination be used. After the liquid has evaporated (circa 5 min at normal room temperature) a polymer layer is formed.

step 2 to activate the polymer layer so it becomes antimicrobial, wipe it over with the activating wipe (LIQUID GUARD® wipe)/Liquid Guard spray thoroughly as per step 1.

step 3 after 2 minutes the surface should be buffed using the microfiber wipe/cloth until all visible streaks disappear. A thorough polishing will be necessary, especially on transparent or shiny surfaces.

After 6 hours the coating is hardened and ready for use.
