NewPro Gum Magic Chewing-gum Protection

Product Description

NewPro Gum Magic protection is an aqueous fluorochemical dispersion. It is a pale yellow liquid.

Range of Application and Use

A simple application dramatically prolongs the life of all surfaces providing an innovative, scientific solution for the protection of buildings and structures; both historic and modern.

Gum protection prevents penetration of water, liquids, oil and most types of surface contamination to porous masonry substrates.

Prevents stains and airborne dirt from adhering to the surface. It also has a good resistance to graffiti and algal growth.

For use on exterior stonework, patios, block paving, pedestrian areas and car parks. It can also be applied to interior stone flooring, floor tiles and garage doors.

Long Lasting Protection

Gum Magic gives long lasting protection to all porous building materials, for example brick, limestone, marble, granite, slate, terracotta, concrete rendering and artificial stone.

Contaminants no longer stick to the substrate.

Transparent – will not alter colour or original appearance, allows the surface to breathe.

It does not cause yellowing.

Waterborne; ready to use; water resistant; non-flammable; non-toxic.

Chewing gum does not adhere to the surface, also protection from liquid and oil.

Gum Magic prevents liquid ingress – liquids simply run off the surface. It eliminates the harmful effects of moisture and prevents frost damage.

It also prevents greasy stains from adhering to surfaces (oil, diesel, petrol, etc) and protects against general grime.

Stains are easily removed using water and detergents.

Gum Magic prevents moss and lichen growth on roofs, pavements and pedestrian surfaces.

Chewing gum can usually be removed with medium pressure water jetting.

Application Instructions

• One to three applications of Gum Magic to achieve saturation of substrate.
• Must be applied "wet on wet".
• Gum protection may be applied using a low pressure spray, brush or roller.
• Ensure application is from bottom to top on vertical surfaces; do not let the product run.
• Surfaces must be free from dust, dirt, oil, efflorescence, organic growth and old paint films.

Waiting Time:

• All subsequent coats MUST be applied "wet on wet" within 5 minutes of previous application until product is no longer absorbed.
• Once dry Gum Magic cannot be over-coated with any other products as there will be loss of adhesion.

Cleaning Tools:

Clean all equipment with water immediately after use.

Consumption:

Natural Stone (high porosity): 0. 6m²/lt
Natural Stone (medium porosity): 7. 0m²/lt
Marble: 14. 0m²/lt
Rendering: 3. 5m²/lt
Terracotta: 7. 5m²/lt
Granite: 27. 0m²/lt
Architectural Concrete: 5. 3m²/lt

Cement Tiles: 10. 0m²/lt

Notes on Application

Fresh concrete must have 28 days curing before treatment.
It is always advisable to treat a sample area in advance to check that compatibility and substrate conditions are suitable. Efflorescence must be treated with dilute acids before application of Gum Magic.
Gum Magic will not perform correctly if applied over non-absorbent surface; e.g. areas that have epoxy repairs on them or old paint films.

Curing Details

Curing Treatment:
It is advisable not to apply Gum Magic if rain is expected within 4 hours.
Water repellence is evident after a few hours drying but it may take up to 7 days to reach 100% efficiency.

Notes

Technical data provided is based on laboratory tests and some variations are possible on larger areas and unknown substrates.

Protective Measures

Attention is to be paid to the general protective precautionary features for water-soluble materials. Keep away from children. Keep containers sealed tightly closed. While opening the container, hold a towel or rag over the opening. In the event of eye contact, immediately flush eyes out with water In the event of skin contact, wash skin thoroughly with water and soap. Do not smoke during application and use.
