How can I make the GEO-SIL™ solution work most effectively?
The concentrate MUST be mixed with a gallon of DI/Distilled water and mixed. It should be used within 7 days of mixing.
Can I apply the concentrate directly on the substrate to get better results?
No. It will not work and might stain or ruin the substrate. The concentrate cannot be used directly on the substrate.
What if I use less than a gallon or more than a gallon of DI/DISTILLED water?
The concentrated formula is formulated for a gallon of DI/Distilled water. It has a tolerance of ±2% only. We highly recommend using a gallon of water.
What if I use well water or city water instead of DI/Distilled water?
It will work, but the product's performance might be compromised. We highly recommend using DI/Distilled water.
What if I use hard water or well water that has high amounts of salts?
The product performance might diminish greatly.
What if I use chlorinated water?
The product performance might diminish greatly.
Which substrates are ideal for GEO-SIL™?
It works on most porous substrates. For example, concrete, pavers, bricks, and stones.
Can it work or be applied on painted porous substrates?
No.
Can it work on wood?
No.
What type of surface preparation do I need to do before applying DILUTED GEO-SIL™?
The surface should be cleaned with pressure washing and dried fully before applying it. Please refer to the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Product Application Guide for the complete details
Can it be applied to wet surfaces?
No. The surface needs to be dry.
What will be the ideal temperature window to apply GEO-SIL™?
PARAMETER ------------------------------ ACCEPTABLE RANGE
Ambient Temperature ----------------------40°F–95°F (4°C–35°C)
Surface Temperature -----------------------40°F–120°F (4°C–48°C)
Relative Humidity --------------------------- 20%–90% (non-condensing)
Wind Speed (outdoor) ---------------------- < 15 mph to prevent premature surface drying
Substrate Moisture -------------------------- Damp to SSD (not wet, not puddled)
How long does it take to cure?
12-24 hours.
What is the coverage of the Geo-Sil surface treatment solution
Approximately 150-175 sq. ft per bottle/per gallon. It may vary based on the application rate.
How long does it last?
2-5 years depending on thesurface and usage.
