PRODUCT D E SCRIPTION
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. This product is formulated for sealing concrete
and masonry to provide resistance against water, alkalis, acids, ultraviolet light, stain-
ing, salt ion intrusion and freeze/thaw damage. 511 Porous Plus is a unique formula-
tion designed for the protection of all porous tile, stone and grout surfaces. 511
Porous Plus penetrates into the surface and forms an invisible barrier that is resis-
tant to moisture and stains, while allowing vapor to escape. 511 Porous Plus is not a
surface coating and will not alter the natural look. All surfaces are harder and less
slippery. 511 Porous Plus can be used on interior and exterior applications. 511
Porous Plus is U.V. transparent, resists acid rain and will not yellow under any cir-
cumstances. 511 Porous Plus averages 2 to 10 times the coverage of competitive
products. (See coverage chart). 511 products have been formulated for or applied to
freshly poured concrete to retard the evaporation of water.
511 Porous Plus 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 Porous Plus 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: For any questions concerning grout - refer to the grout
manufacturers specifications. 511 Porous Plus 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 product for their intended use.
Color and Gloss Enhancement
For added color with “Textured and Non polished” surfaces, 511 Seal & Enhance or
Mira Matte may be used. For polished marble, travertine, limestone and granite,
Stone Polish, Mira Dust, Marble Conditioner or Granite Brite may be used as direct-
ed. For ceramic tile, Tile Restor or Tile Brite may be used as directed.
Protect Neighboring Surfaces
Always protect neighboring surfaces including wood, carpet, metal , landscaping and
other non masonry surfaces.
NEW I N STA L L ATIONS - APPLIC ATION I N S T R U C T I O N S
Read entire label and PDS/MSDS before using. 511 Porous Plus should not be
diluted or thinned in any way. 511 Porous Plus should be used as is direct from
approved container.
Sealing As a Grout Release
Apply 511 Porous Plus to all surfaces prior to grouting. This step will allow quick and
easy cleanup after grouting. Grout can stain many surfaces if this procedure is not
used prior to the grouting process. Apply 511 Porous Plus 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 Porous Plus to stand for approximately 3 - 5
minutes for maximum penetration. Any excess sealer remaining at this time should
be removed by wiping the surface with a clean dry towel. On very porous surfaces
apply another application after the previous application has dried 2-3 hours. Any
excess sealer that has dried on the surface creating a residue/film, may be removed
by applying Residue Remover. Apply Residue Remover undiluted to the affected area
with a clean dry towel. Let it sit for 1 - 2 minutes before buffing the area with a second
clean dry towel. Allow 511 Porous Plus to cure for 6 - 12 hours before continuing with
the grouting procedure per manufacturers specification.
After Grouting: Once grouted, make sure that all grout residue is removed from the
surface with a clean sponge and water. Allow grout to dry at least 24 - 72 hours.
If grout clean up is not performed effectively, an additional cleaning may be neces-
sary 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.
Grout Sealing
Once the area has completely dried, proceed with the sealing of the grout for water
and stain resistance. Apply 511 Porous Plus 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 presealed surfaces.
Residue Removal
To remove accumulated 511 Porous Plus residue, use Miracle Residue Remover as
directed.
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.
Floor Coating/Wax Removal: To remove existing coatings and/or waxes, use Mira
Strip or Finish Sealer Stripper following the instructions carefully.
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. For a non-acid deep clean use Liquid Poultice
as directed. All strippers and/or cleaners should be thoroughly rinsed with clean
water and the surface allowed to dry.
Sealing Existing Surfaces: Follow the application instructions previously mentioned,
except now, seal the grout and tile or stone surfaces at the same time. When treating
surfaces together, make sure that the recessed grout is saturated.
Light Cleaning: Use Tile & Stone Cleaner, Porcelain & Ceramic Tile Cleaner,
Limestone/Travertine Soap & Counter Kleen as directed.
Sealer Cure Time
511 Porous Plus will be dry to the touch in 1 - 3 hours and may be used for normal
foot traffic. For optimum results the area should be kept dry and free from staining
materials for 24 - 72 hours.
