FLEX SHIELD APPLICATION
If applying PRT Flex Shield or PRT Satin Flex Shield to a new
floor that has never been used, but has been Initially
Maintained, follow the steps below.
For a previously maintained floor that has had Flex Shield
applied, please follow the steps for STRIPPING FLEX SHIELD
before applying additional coats.
1. Ensure the floor has been allowed to dry completely before
applying PRT Flex Shield or PRT Satin Flex Shield.
2. Using a clean mop bucket, line the inside of the bucket
with a garbage can liner to reduce the risk of contamination
before pouring PRT Flex Shield or PRT Satin Flex Shield
into the lined bucket. Close the liner when not in use, or
between coats.
3. Apply PRT Flex Shield or PRT Satin Flex Shield as a
uniform thin to medium coat using a pre-rinsed, clean
synthetic finish mop or microfiber applicator system. Allow
the floor finish to dry approx. 30 minutes before applying
the next coat. Apply 4 to 5 coats to maximize foundation.
NOTE: Floors become slippery when wet and care
must be taken. Appropriate barriers to wet areas and
“warning / caution” placards should be used in all
instances.
STRIPPING FLEX SHIELD
VPI PRT Flex Stripper is specially formulated to remove VPI
PRT Flex Shield and Satin Flex Shield and no other floor
finish.
Approved Stripping Procedures
1. Sweep or dust mop the floor to remove any large debris.
NOTE: Never use oil base treated dust mops.
2. Dilute VPI PRT Flex Stripper (1 part stripper: 5 parts fresh
water or 26 oz./gal.) with cool to warm water.
3. Liberally apply solution to the floor surface. Allow 4-5
minutes contact time. Be sure to keep surface wet at all
times.
4. Using the VPI Initial Deep Scrub Pad (gray in color),
agitate floor thoroughly with a low-speed rotary machine,
or automatic scrubber. This will allow VPI PRT Flex
Stripper to liquefy and lift VPI PRT Flex Shield, VPI PRT
Satin Flex Shield, soil and other impurities left behind on
the floor.
5. Pick up the liquefied solution with a wet vacuum, automatic
scrubber, or a mop and bucket.
6. Rinse with clear water only. Allow to dry.
7. After the floor is completely dry, re-apply VPI PRT Flex
Shield or VPI PRT Satin Flex Shield according to the
instructions above or label directions.
NOTE: Floors become slippery when wet and care
must be taken. Appropriate barriers to wet areas and
“warning / caution” placards should be used in all
instances.
