Consolideck®

LSGuard®

Consolideck® LSGuard® is a copolymer formulation

that improves the surface sheen and stain

resistance of conventional concrete, hardened

concrete or cement terrazzo ﬂoors. Surfaces treated

with LSGuard® resist damage from water, chemical

attack and surface abrasion. Ideal for application

to standard gray or colored concrete, LSGuard®

protects and enhances the color intensity of

integrally colored and color stained concrete.

Consolideck® LSGuard® provides a long lasting,

high gloss ﬁnish that maximizes light reﬂectance

and eliminates the need for ﬂoor waxes, liquid

polishes and conventional resin based coatings.

LSGuard® will not trigger or contribute to surface

ASR (Alkali Silicate Reaction).

ADVANTAGES

• Low odor. Easy to apply. Fast drying.

• Produces a long lasting, high gloss ﬁnished

concrete ﬂoor with maximum light reﬂectance.

• Eliminates the need for ﬂoor waxes, liquid

polishes and conventional resin based coatings.

• Further improves the surface sheen and stain

resistance of ﬂoors treated with Consolideck®

LS®, LS/CS® or Blended Densiﬁer.

• Tested and conforms to California Collaborative

for High Performance School Indoor Air Quality

standards. Use can contribute to LEED® for

Schools points (EQ Credit 4).

• Gloss and hardness do not reduce slip resistance.

• Breathable and UV stable. Will not yellow,

discolor, peel or ﬂake.

• Non-ﬂammable. Non-toxic. Low odor.

Limitations

• For indoor use only.

• Not for use on surfaces exposed to standing or

pooling water.

PREPARATION

Protect people, vehicles, property, plants and

all surfaces not designated to receive LSGuard®

from the product, splash and wind drift. Use

polyethylene or other proven protective material.

Do not apply to surfaces which are frozen, dirty or

have standing water.

SPECIFIER NOTE: A waterproof barrier should be

included in the construction of the ﬂoor to prevent

upward migration of moisture from beneath the

concrete ﬂatwork.

Existing Concrete

: LSGuard® may be applied to

existing, cured concrete of any age. Surfaces must

be clean and structurally sound. Remove all foreign

materials including bond breakers, curing agents,

surface grease and oil, and construction debris

using the appropriate Consolideck® surface prep

cleaner.

Follow the appropriate cleaner with thorough water

rinsing. If a d-limonene based cleaner/stripper is

used, clean treated surfaces with Consolideck®

Cleaner/Degreaser and rinse thoroughly.

Acid-stained concrete must be thoroughly

neutralized and rinsed prior to application.

Application may begin as soon as prepared surfaces

are dry and free of ponded water.

Surface and Air Temperatures

Temperatures for application should be 40–100° F

(4–38° C).

Equipment

Apply with low pressure sprayer and a microﬁber

or synthetic, lint-free mop. Fit sprayer with a 0.5

gpm (gallon per minute) spray tip. Do not atomize.

Storage and Handling

Keep from freezing. Store in a cool, dry place.

Always seal container after dispensing. Do not

alter or mix with other chemicals. Published shelf

life assumes upright storage of factory-sealed

containers in a dry place. Maintain temperatures

of 40–100°F (4–38°C). Do not double stack pallets.

Dispose of in accordance with local, state and

federal regulations.

APPLICATION

Read “Preparation” and the Safety Data Sheet

before use.

ALWAYS TEST a small area of each surface to

conﬁrm suitability, coverage rate and desired

results before beginning overall application.

Test with the same equipment, recommended

surface preparation and application procedures

planned for general application. Let surface dry

thoroughly before inspection.

Pre-testing will conﬁrm suitability of surface

preparation and application procedures proposed

for general application, and will also determine the

average coverage rates to be maintained over the

entire project.

Dilution & Mixing

Do not dilute or alter when applying to cured

concrete or cured/honed concrete.

Dilute with up to one part fresh water when

applying to polished or highly polished concrete.

Typical Coverage Rates

Variations in concrete quality, porosity, job site

conditions, temperature and relative humidity will

affect coverage rates and drying times. Calculate

the target coverage rate by testing a representative

section of the prepared surface using the published

application instructions.

Apply LSGuard® at the highest coverage rate

possible. Applications to highly polished ﬂoors yield

the highest coverage rates. Two thin applications

achieve better results than one heavy coat.

Estimated Coverage Rates

The following coverage rate is offered for

estimating only. See below for instructions on

calculating project-speciﬁc target coverage rates.

• 2,000–3,000 sq.ft. (186–279 sq.m.) per US gal

Calculating Project-Speciﬁc Target Coverage Rate

1. Prepare the test section in accordance with

“Preparation” information above. Surfaces must

be clean, dry and absorbent.

2. Add 1-gallon of LSGuard® to a clean, pump-

up sprayer. Apply according to Application

Instructions below. Repeat as necessary to

achieve the desired level of ﬁnish.

3. Measure the test area to establish the target

coverage rate per gallon. Protect the treated area

from moisture for 72 hours following application.

Product Data Sheet

Consolideck® LSGuard®

Application Instructions

Consolideck® LSGuard® may be applied to steel

troweled, honed, polished or highly polished

concrete surfaces. For best results, treat ﬂoors

with Consolideck® LS®, LS/CS® or Blended Densiﬁer

before application of LSGuard®.

1. Lightly wet a clean microﬁber pad with LSGuard®

and wring out excess, leaving the pad damp.

2. Using a clean, pump-up sprayer, and working

from one control joint to another, apply a light,

ﬁne spray of LSGuard® to a small section of the

ﬂoor.

3. Using the damp microﬁber pad and ﬁrm

downward pressure, immediately spread the

LSGuard® to produce a thin, even coating. Spread

the product as far as possible while maintaining

a wet edge. Properly applied, LSGuard® dries

quickly. Stop spreading once drying begins.

Avoid overlapping.

4. Allow to dry tack free, typically 20–60 minutes.

5. Once dry, burnish LSGuard® using a high-

speed burnisher ﬁtted with a Consolideck®

Heat Burnishing Pad or equivalent polishing

pad suitable for use on high-gloss ﬁnishes.

In addition to smoothing and polishing the

treated surface, high-speed burnishing heats the

LSGuard® to help the treatment fuse and bond

with the concrete for increased durability and

longevity. Surface temperatures immediately

behind the burnisher must achieve 91°F (33°C).

6. Repeat steps 1-5 above as necessary for the

desired ﬁnish. Burnish between coats. Apply up

to three coats for maximum gloss.

Drying Time

Under typical conditions, the surface is ready for

trafﬁc within 1-hour of ﬁnal burnishing. Protect

from water exposure for 72 hours.

Cleanup

Before product dries, clean tools and equipment

with fresh water. Immediately wash off over spray

from glass, aluminum, polished or other surfaces

with fresh water.

Final Results

The ﬂoor is ready to use when dry. Smooth and

hardened concrete surfaces should exhibit reduced

water absorption and the desired sheen upon

drying. Maximum water resistance will develop

over 7 days.

Maintenance

Sweep the ﬂoor daily with a microﬁber pad or dry

dust mop. When needed, dry buff with a high-speed

burnisher to refresh gloss.

Though LSGuard® improves the resistance of

concrete ﬂoors to staining, acidic substances,

including foods, may etch the ﬂoor and leave a

residual stain. All spills must be cleaned up as

quickly as possible.

Use Consolideck® DailyKlean or LSKlean for

maintenance cleaning. LSKlean contains lithium-

silicate for improving surface density and

preserving the surface sheen of Consolideck® ﬂoors.

Do not use other cleaners, including off-the-shelf

and common household cleaners, which may

contain acidic or alkaline ingredients that can dull

the ﬁnish of Consolideck® ﬂoors.

BEST PRACTICES

Surfaces to be treated must be clean, dry and

absorbent. Conﬁrm surface absorbency with a light

water spray. Surfaces designated for treatment

should wet uniformly.

Acid-stained concrete must be thoroughly

neutralized and rinsed prior to application.

For best results, ﬂoors should be treated with

Consolideck® LS®, LS/CS® or Blended Densiﬁer prior

to application of LSGuard®.

Spray applicators equipped with 0.5 gpm (gallon

per minute) fan spray tip have proven effective for

application of this product.

For best durability and stain resistance, burnish

freshly installed LSGuard® with a high speed

burnisher using polishing pads for high-gloss

ﬁnishes. Best results are achieved when burnishing

heats the ﬂoor to 91°F (33°C) or greater immediately

after passing.

Use Consolideck® DailyKlean as part of a

comprehensive ﬂoor maintenance program that

includes deep cleaning with LSKlean.

For concrete ﬂoors regularly maintained with auto

scrubbers, see Consolideck® DailyKlean ULTRA

15 or DailyKlean ULTRA 30 for easy dilution. The

same ease of dilution is available for deep cleaning

with Consolideck® LSKlean ULTRA 15 and LSKlean

ULTRA 30.
