PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
K
EEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. This product is formulated for sealing concrete and
m
asonry to provide resistance against water, alkalis, acids, ultraviolet light, staining, salt
i
on intrusion and freeze/thaw damage. 511 Impregnator is a unique polymerized silicone
formulation designed for the protection of all medium to dense porous tile, stone and
grout surfaces. 511 Impregnator penetrates into the surface and forms an invisible barrier
that is resistant to moisture and stains, while allowing vapor to escape. 511 Impregnator is
not a surface coating and will not alter the natural look. All surfaces are harder and less
s
lippery. 511 Impregnator can be used on interior and exterior applications. 511
I
mpregnator is U.V. transparent, resists acid rain and will not yellow under any circum-
s
tances. 511 Impregnator averages five to twenty times the coverage of competitive prod-
ucts. (See coverage chart). 511 products have been formulated for or applied to freshly
poured concrete to retard the evaporation of water.
511 Impregnator is on the approved sources list of the United States Postal Service and is
U.S.D.A. approved for incidental food contact in federal meat and poultry establishments.
Test Data
Independent laboratory tests show 511 Impregnator out performs competitive products.
Test results are available upon request for Staining, Static Coefficient of Friction, Tabor
Abrasion, Surface Absorption, Freeze/Thaw and Vapor Transmission.
NOTE: On more porous surfaces use 511 Porous Plus as directed. For any questions con-
cerning grout refer to the grout manufacturers specifications.
511 Impregnator will not stop acid etching.
Sample Testing
Due to the differences of each substrate, several inconspicuous test patches should be
completed to assure maximum performance. User must determine suitability of the prod-
uct for their intended use.
Color Enhancement
For added color with “TEXTURED AND NON POLISHED” surfaces, 511 Seal & Enhance or
Mira Matte may be applied as directed.
Gloss Enhancement
For a higher gloss finish on POLISHED stone surfaces, use Water Ring & Etch Remover,
Marble Conditioner, Mira Dust or Granite Brite. For counters and furniture, use Stone
Polish. For tile surfaces, try Tile Brite.
Slip Resistance
511 Impregnator increases the static coefficient of friction on all surfaces. 511 Impregnator
has been used successfully for compliance with the American Disability Act’s recommenda-
tions for slip resistance (ASTM C 1028-89) on polished & honed surfaces.
Protect Neighboring Surfaces
Always protect neighboring surfaces including wood, carpet, metal, landscaping and other
non masonry surfaces.
NEW INSTALLATIONS - APPLIC ATION INSTRUCTIONS
Read entire label and SDS before using. 511 Impregnator should not be diluted or thinned
in any way. 511 Impregnator should be used as is direct from approved container.
Before Grouting: Apply 511 Impregnator to all surfaces prior to grouting. This step will
allow quick and easy cleanup after grouting. Grout can stain many surfaces if this proce-
dure is not used prior to the grouting process. Apply 511 Impregnator using a Mira Brush
or a clean towel. Apply enough to wet the surface. (See coverage charts) Be careful not to
saturate the open grout joints. Allow 511 Impregnator to stand for approximately 3 - 5 min-
utes for maximum penetration. All excess must be removed at this time by buffing surface
with a clean dry towel. This is very important on polished, glazed and porcelain surfaces.
Allow 511 Impregnator to cure for 6 - 12 hours before continuing with the grouting proce-
dure.
For more porous substrates apply another application after the previous application has
dried 2-3 hours. For very porous or difficult substrates, refer to
511 Porous Plus
or
511 H2O
Plus.
After Grouting: Once grouted, make sure that all grout residue is removed from the surface
with a clean sponge and water. Allow grout to cure per manufacturers specification. If grout
clean up is not performed effectively, an additional cleaning may be necessary to remove
remaining grout residue or haze. For this procedure use Phosphoric Acid Cleaner , (HDAC)
Heavy Duty Acidic Cleaner (Hydrochloric Acid) or Epoxy Grout Film Remover following the
instructions carefully. Once the area has completely dried, proceed with the sealing of the
grout for water and stain resistance. Apply 511 Impregnator to all grout with a paint brush.
Any excess sealer that gets on the surface should be wiped off with a clean towel before it
dries. On larger jobs grout can be sealed by retreating the entire area including the tile or
stone surface a second time. Be careful not to allow the sealer to puddle or dry on pre-
sealed surfaces.
Existing Installation - Surface Preparation
Surface must be dry and free of contaminants, including previously applied sealers, dirt,
lime & hard water deposits, efflorescence, rust & other heavy dirt and grime.
Surface Coating/Wax Removal: To remove existing coatings and/or waxes, use Mira Strip
or Finish Sealer Stripper as directed.
Heavy Duty Cleaning:To remove lime and hard water deposits, efflorescence, rust, grease
and other heavy dirt and grime use HDAC (Heavy Duty Acidic Cleaner) or Phosphoric Acid
Cleaner as directed.
F
or a non acid deep clean use Liquid Poultice as directed.
L
ight Cleaning: Use Tile & Stone Cleaner, Porcelain & Ceramic Tile Cleaner,
L
imestone/Travertine Soap, Counter Kleen as directed.
Existing Installation - Application Instructions
F
ollow the application instructions previously mentioned, except now, seal the grout and
t
ile or stone surfaces at the same time. When treating surfaces together, make sure that
the recessed grout is saturated.

is flowing in such a way as to feel a slight breeze. Open windows and use fans to circulate
air. Continue to ventilate until vapors are eliminated. Exposure to high vapor concentration
must be avoided. Inhaling the vapors can be harmful. Keep away from heat and open
flames. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Chemical resistant gloves should be worn at all
times. Keep small children and pets out of the area until product or surface has thoroughly
dried. Refer to the MSDS for
