Product Safety Summary:
Application and Post-application – Information Summary.
When applying Protec III: Original wear protective glasses, avoid skin contact or letting product absorb through clothing as the product is alkaline and drying, this causes irritation, especially if it gets in your eyes.
Protec III: Original is not flammable, contains zero solvents/VOCs, becomes completely inert and non-reactive when dried, and does not produce silica dust or other air quality hazards at any point.
The product is LEED 4.1 certified (meaning no volatile organic compound content, and no off-gassing), and the product does not contain any compounds in California Prop. 65.
Product Functions.
Prevents plastic shrinkage cracks caused by rapid evaporation by chemically curing concrete (non-membrane forming cure).
Prevent efflorescence and carbonation by chemically neutralizing the water-soluble calcium within your concrete surfaces.
Strengthens and dust proofs concrete surfaces by adding density by filling pores and/or chemically strengthening your concrete.
Gives a better finish with the improved paste Protec III: Original creates when it combines with the alkalis in your concrete.
