Harden X™ Product Application back to top
Always test the surface to be treated for suitability and desired results. Let surface dry before assessing results of test application. SealSource Equipment Needed for Harden X Application back to top
Harden X New Concrete back to top Harden X™ may be applied to new concrete immediately after final trowel or at any point thereafter. If applying to acid-stained or integrally-pigmented concrete floors, please take note of the modifications below. 1. Thoroughly clean and scrub the surface to be treated, removing any substance that may interfere with penetration—including any bond breakers, form release oils, wax, surface laitance, curing compounds, drywall residue, dust, or other contaminant. Acid-stained surfaces must be neutralized prior to application by washing and scrubbing with a neutralizing agent followed by a water rinse. Allow surface to dry completely before application. (If applying to new concrete floors after joints have been cut, carefully clean saw-cut residue from the surface with vacuums, sweepers, blowers, or brooms. A scrubbing machine with a red pad may be used to remove any remaining residue from the joints. If necessary, damp mop the joints and around columns to ensure surface is thoroughly clean. Allow surface to dry completely before application.) 2. Using a high-volume/low-pressure, pump-up, airless, backpack, or mechanical sprayer, apply Harden X™ at 400-500 sq/ft per gallon (10-12 m2 per liter), maintaining a consistent, even spray. Do not allow the material to puddle (lightly broom out any pooling material immediately after spraying). 3. The entire surface MUST remain wet with Harden X™ for 30 minutes to allow the material to react properly with the surface. DO NOT LET ANY AREA DRY OUT – apply more Harden X™ if necessary to keep the surface wet - DO NOT USE WATER. After the wet material has reacted with the surface for 30 minutes, allow material to dry unless applying to acid-stained or integrally-colored concrete (see modification below). Material should dry in 1-2 hours and will be ready for traffic as soon as it dries. Modification for Acid-Stained or Integrally-Colored Concrete: After keeping surface wet for 30 minutes, spray water on the surface to saturate it completely. To ensure a uniform finish, do not let any area of the surface dry prior to cleaning. Remove excess residue using a scrubber equipped with a red pad. With the squeegee down, vacuum on, and light head pressure, add water, scrub, and clean the surface to remove all excess residue. Dispose of excess material according to local regulations. Tilt-Up Construction Applications Please contact SealSource® technical support services for specific instructions. Harden X Existing (Cured) Concrete Application back to top
Harden X™ may be applied to existing, cured concrete of any age that is structurally sound.
1. Mechanically remove any surface laitance and patch or fill any cracks or other surface damage. 2. Remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, membrane-forming curing compounds, coatings, sealers, or other contaminants or substances that may interfere with penetration. 3. For maximum penetration, sand blast or shot blast concrete with a 60-100 grit sanding screen or diamond abrasive pad. SealSource® recommends mechanical surface preparation when possible, however older concrete may require more aggressive preparation. If using acid etch or other chemical preparation, the surface MUST be neutralized with a pH neutral cleanser to prevent whiting. (Please call SealSource® technical support services for specific instructions.) 4. Remove any remaining dirt, contaminants, and dust caused by grinding with a riding or walk-behind scrubbing machine with water or broom following by a water rinse. Squeegee dry or allow to dry completely prior to application. 5. Using a low-pressure, pump-up, airless backpack, or mechanical sprayer apply Harden X™ at 400-500 sq/ft per gallon (10-12 m2 per liter), maintaining a consistent, even spray. Do not allow the material to puddle (lightly broom out any excess material immediately after spraying). 6. The entire surface MUST remain wet with Harden X™ for 30 minutes to allow the material to react properly with the surface. DO NOT LET ANY AREA DRY OUT – apply more Harden X™ if necessary to keep the surface wet - DO NOT USE WATER. After the wet material has reacted with the surface for 30 minutes, allow material to dry. Material should dry in 1-2 hours and will be ready for traffic as soon as it dries. Harden X Vertical Application back to top
Prepare surface as directed above for either new or existing concrete and apply using one of the following methods:
Spray Method: Apply Harden X™ from the bottom up using a low pressure, 10-24 psi sprayer (68.9 – 172 kPa). Flood surface until excess runs down 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) below spray pattern, or sponge to create a uniform wet appearance. On horizontal surfaces, proper quantity is indicated when the material stands on the surface for a few seconds before completely penetrating. For maximum vertical penetration and desired coverage rates, “wet-on-wet” application is recommended. Re-apply Harden X™ as above within 3-5 minutes after initial application. Use a broom to distribute any accumulated material. Roller Method: If applying with a brush or roller, apply in multiple coats until the surface remains moist for approximately one minute before the material disappears. Use a broom to distribute any accumulated material.
High Humidity– Apply Harden X™ as above. After the material has reacted for 30 minutes, remove any excess material that has not penetrated the surface. Do not allow excess material to air-dry.
High Temperatures- (Above 90 F or 32 C) – To prevent Harden X™ from flashing/drying too quickly, the area to be treated may be sprayed with water to cool the surface prior to application. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying the material. SS Harden X™ may also be applied by spraying out at 800-1000 sq/ft per gallon (30-40 m2 per liter) in three thin coats, using 100% polyester microfiber pads to spread the material.
Low Temperatures- (Below 40 F or 4 C) – Apply Harden X™ as above. While keeping the surface wet for 30 minutes, agitate the material using red pads on a scrubbing machine, floor machine or swing buffer. Because of the need to agitate the material once it has been applied, apply to a smaller square footage which can be successfully managed.

If spraying, use a microfiber pad to distribute any pooled material. If Harden X™ is pooling in any area, use a microfiber pad to distribute the material. 3. Allow Harden X™ to dry, then apply a second coat of KromaPolish™ as above. (For a mottled look, a second SS KromaPolish™ color may be used for this application.) 4. Allow second coat of KromaPolish™ to dry for 2 hours, then apply a second thin coat of Harden X™ as above. 5. Allow second coat of Harden X™ to cure for a minimum of 2 hours (longer cure time will increase surface hardness for greater shine). Surface must at least be dry to the touch before resuming the polishing process. When surface has cured for the desired length of time, polish surface to a 200 resin grit level (continue polishing for a deeper shine). 6. When polishing is complete, dust mop the surface thoroughly to remove any dust. 7. Allow surface to dry completely, then apply DuraGloss™ with sprayer at 1,500-2,000 sq/ft per gallon (40-50 m2 per liter). Spread material evenly over surface with a 100% polyester microfiber pad to achieve a consistent, wet appearance. (A thin application may streak; a heavy coat will appear milky or cloudy.) 8. Wet out a 100% polyester microfiber applicator pad with the material to avoid streaking, then spread material evenly over surface to achieve a consistent, wet appearance. (If the material appears to be streaking, spray on additional material. If the material has a blue, milky/cloudy appearance, continue to pull out material until it no longer appears blue.) 9. Allow surface to dry, then burnish with SealSource® diamond-impregnated pads at 1,500-3,000 grit level using a high-speed floor burnisher (minimum of 1,500 RPMs). 10. Apply a second coat of DuraGloss™ as above and burnish when surface is dry. If a higher gloss is desired, apply additional applications of DuraGloss™ until desired gloss is achieved, allowing each application to dry thoroughly before burnishing. 11. Keep surface dry following treatment for the cure time recommended by manufacturer to allow it to cure properly. KromaPolish Application in High Humidity back to top Apply as above, but increase cure time to three hours between coats of KromaPolish™ and Harden X™. Allow a minimum of four hours after final coat of Harden X™ prior to polishing. Product Disclaimers The fast-drying and durable bonding properties of DuraGloss™ cause it to permanently bond to a variety of surfaces. The material is extremely difficult to remove once it has cured, so it is strongly recommended that areas which could be affected by splatters, splashes, or overspray be masked and protected prior to treatment.

ArmourGuard EPX Surface Preparation back to top
ALLOW NEW CONCRETE TO CURE FOR A MINIMUM OF 14 DAYS PRIOR TO APPLICATION. 1. Patch or fill any cracks or other surface damage. 2. Remove any membrane-forming materials, dirt, debris, wax, paint, curing compounds, coatings, or other surface contaminants that may interfere with penetration or adhesion. 3. Apply a test sample to a small area to assess adhesion. 4. To allow proper penetration create a rough surface profile using shot blast, diamond grinding to a 70 resin grit level, acid etch or similar. (Treatment area may also be prepared using a 1-to-1 mixture of vinegar and water.) Sweep and scrub surface with water, using a neutralizing agent if chemical preparation has been used. 5. Sweep area to be treated and scrub clean with water to remove any remaining contaminants, dirt, and dust caused by grinding. Allow surface to dry completely prior to application. ArmourGuard EPX Product Application back to top Please note that coverage rates may vary depending on surface porosity, extreme temperatures, or humidity. Additional applications may be necessary to achieve desired results. (If applying ArmourGuard EPX™ with DuraGloss™, please see alternate instructions indicated below.) 1. Agitate ArmourGuard EPX with a mechanical mixer to ensure color uniformity. 2. Using a low-pressure, pump-up, airless, backpack, or mechanical sprayer, spray out material at 200 sq/ft per gallon (5 m2 per liter). 3. Allow material to dry for 30 minutes before opening to foot traffic and one hour for forklift traffic. Product Application (ArmourGuard EPX™ with DuraGloss™) Interior Surfaces 1. Agitate ArmourGuard EPX with a mechanical mixer to ensure color uniformity. 2. Using a low-pressure, pump-up, airless, backpack, or mechanical sprayer with an approximate tip size of .15-.17, spray out material at approximately 200 sq/ft per gallon (5 m2 per liter). 3. Allow surface to dry for a minimum of 1 hour or until dry to the touch, then spray on a consistent application of DuraGloss 50+™ or DuraGloss 30+™ at approximately 1,500 sq/ft per gallon (40 m2 per liter). 4. Wet out a 100% polyester microfiber applicator pad with the material to avoid streaking, then spread material evenly over surface to achieve a consistent, wet appearance. (If the material appears to be streaking, spray on additional material. If the material has a blue, milky/cloudy appearance, continue to pull out material until it no longer appears blue.) 5. When surface is dry, burnish with SealSource® diamond-impregnated pads using a high-speed floor burnisher (minimum of 1,500 RPMs). 6. Apply a second application of DuraGloss™ as above and burnish when surface is dry. Keep surface dry for the minimum cure time recommended by manufacturer to allow material to cure properly. For best results, immediately wipe up spills and do not allow puddles or standing water to accumulate on the surface for a minimum of 7 days. Exterior Surfaces 1. Agitate ArmourGuard EPX with a mechanical mixer to ensure color uniformity 2. Using a low-pressure, pump-up, airless, backpack, or mechanical sprayer, spray out material at approximately 200 sq/ft per gallon (5 m2 per liter). 3. Allow surface to dry for a minimum of 2 hours until dry to the touch, then spray on a consistent application of DuraGloss EXT™ at approximately 400 sq/ft per gallon (10 m2 per liter). 4. Wet out a 100% polyester microfiber applicator pad with the material to avoid streaking, then spread material evenly over surface to achieve a consistent, wet appearance. (If the material appears to be streaking, spray on additional material. If the material has a blue, milky/cloudy appearance, continue to pull out material until it no longer appears blue.) 5. When surface is dry, apply a second application of DuraGloss EXT™ as above. 6. Keep surface dry for 1-2 hours following treatment to allow material to cure properly. ArmourGuard EPX Application in High Humidity back to top Apply materials as above, increasing cure time to up to four hours prior applying DuraGloss™. Surface may take up to 14 days to achieve maximum performance under conditions of extreme temperature or humidity. Product Disclaimers ArmourGuard EPX™ will not bridge or fill cracks and will not salvage honeycombed or structurally unsound surfaces. Do not allow ArmourGuard EPX™ to come in contact with any glass, fabric, metal, or surfaces that are not going to be treated with SS ArmourGuard EPX™. Immediately wipe contaminated surfaces with a clean, water-saturated cloth, then wipe dry with a second clean cloth. Do not allow traffic until surface is completely dry. The fast-drying and extremely durable bonding characteristics of AmourGuard EPX™ and DuraGloss™ will permanently bond to a variety of surfaces and is extremely difficult to remove once cured. It is recommended to mask off and protect areas that could be affected by splatters, splashes or overspray. Application and coverage rates are estimated and may vary depending on the porosity of substrate, the desired intensity of color and shine, and environmental conditions present during application. For precise coverage rates, a pre-application field test should be performed. Proper application is the responsibility of the user. It is highly recommended that the installer contact our Technical Support department at (800) 305-9144 for customized instructions prior to application.
