Basic Use:
Luster Keep™ provides an highly attractive finish that is extremely durable. Luster Keep™ was developed to enhance the look and give an attractive high gloss or wet look to today’s decorative concrete surfaces and to provide the same protection to plain, grey concrete. Luster Shield™ is recommended as a seal prior to finishing with Luster Keep™. Luster Shield™ helps to maintain cleaner surfaces and preserve the original appearance of the treated surface for much longer period of time. Luster Shield™ prevents the penetration of water, oils, acids, body fluids, liquids and other contaminants into the treated surfaces. Luster Shield™ is an excellent waterproofer that will improve fungus and mildew resistance. Luster Shield™ also significantly retards efflorescence while imparting significant additional resistance against freeze-thaw damage, such as cracking, spalling, etc..

Application Procedures:
Ensure your floor is clean, free from waxes, grease, oils, stains, dust, dirt and other contamination Luster Keep™ should be applied over a sealing coat of Luster Shield that is at least 24 hours old. With a dust mop or polish spreader apply a thin, uniform coat and allow the entire area to touch dry completely. Drying time varies due to temperature, ambient drying factors, and relative humidity but is usually in the range of 15- 30 minutes. Apply subsequent coats in the same manner and if preferred machine buff after applying the 3rd or 4th coats ensuring the floor has had at least 4 hours to dry. It is recommended to use between 4 to 8 thin coats on high traffic areas and as few as 3 thin coats in other areas. For optimum results after 4 hours and before 24 hours you should thoroughly burnish the floor with a high speed polisher (Polivac or similar) using a hard high speed animal hair pad Luster Shield™ should not be applied when temperature falls below 8°C, as this will slow drying and curing times. A minimum of 24 hours drying / curing time, following application, should be allowed for strength development before allowing heavy-duty service / traffic. Agitate and mix Luster Keep™ thoroughly before use. Contact us for advice, latest application procedures and training for the care and ongoing maintenance of your new floor.
