rubber gloves and long sleeves should be worn when
CURING AND PROTECTION using the product.
Proper curing procedures are important to ensure the
durability and quality of the coating. To prevent FIRE
surface cracking, curing must begin as soon as the CRYSTOR is non-flammable.
CRYSTOR coating has reached initial set. Moist
curing using continuous water spray is recommended.
Keep WATERGARD CRYSTOR treatments moist and

cured for a minimum of 48 hours by spraying surfaces
with a fine mist of water three times a day for 2 – 3
days (under moist conditions). In warmer climates,
more frequent spraying may be required.
ESTIMATING DATA
CRYSTOR slurry coat: 1.0 – 1.3 kg/m2 per application
by brush.
Note: Actual coverage rates will depend upon the

profile and porosity of the substrate.
PACKAGING
CRYSTOR is available in 25 kg PE bags.
STORAGE
CRYSTOR should be stored in protected dry areas.
The shelf life is 12 months in its original unopened
packing in a cool ventilated place below 35°C in a
shaded dry environment. Do no store in direct
sunlight.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not use CRYSTOR over previous coated surface
without proper surface preparation.
Freshly applied CRYSTOR treatment must be

protected from extreme weather conditions such as
rain or high temperature for a period of not less than
48 hours after application.
