Preparing and cleaning the surface

1. Carefully clean the surface, making sure to remove any dust or dirt present.

2. Never apply HIDROFAB AR to wet or damp surfaces.

3. Apply HIDROFAB AR to surfaces with a temperature of between +5 and +40°C

4. Any adjacent surfaces not being treated with the product must be protected.

When applying to medium-high-absorbency surfaces, we strongly recommend first applying a
water-repellent product to act deep down and allow the HIDROFAB AR to catalyse correctly on
the surface of the material.

When applying to compact, non-absorbent surfaces such as quartz, ceramic or porcelain
stoneware, dilute the product in water, to a ratio of 1:1.

Application 

5. Apply an even, abundant coat of product to a clean, dry surface with the preferred tool,
making sure to create an even layer to cover the whole surface being treated. We recommend
always following the same application direction. Take care not to leave too much product when
applying wax and if you note any areas of product build-up, proceed to redistribute it while still
working with the product in that specific surface area.

6. If, while applying the wax, you should notice any build-up in an area where the product has
already been applied, do not attempt to even out the layer of material: wait for the first layer to
cure and then intervene to create a more even finish, as described in point 8.

7. In case of application on particularly absorbent or textured surfaces, it may be necessary to
add a second coat of product. Only apply a second coat once the first is perfectly dry. Generally,
2-3 hours are sufficient between one coat and the next. Before applying a second coat, proceed
in the same way as for the first. We recommend applying the second coat in a perpendicular
direction to that of the first. This will create a “crisscross” application.

8. HIDROFAB AR is a self-polishing wax that once applied, will create an extremely polished
effect. In the event you wish to increase the surface shine, it is possible to do so using a
traditional mechanical floor polisher with white or lambswool pad. Wait a minimum of 3-4
hours for the wax to cure and then clean the surface dry, polishing until the required surface
shine is achieved. Using a mechanical polisher also makes it possible to clean up any flaws
created by a build-up of product in a specific surface area, in case of application of two coats of
product.

Drying time

The product is fast drying and in any case, no more than
1-2 hours from application.

Opening to floor traffic

The surface can be opened to floor traffic about 4-6 hours after the product has been applied.

Complementary Cleaning and Maintenace Products

– For routine cleaning of a surface treated with HIDROFAB AR we recommend: NEUGEL or
ALGAFLOOR For regular restoration of surfaces waxed with HIDROFAB AR, we recommend: MANU’ or even HIDROFAB AR diluted in water to a ratio of 1:5

– To dewax a surface treated with HIDROFAB AR we recommend: DEC 21 and/or DECERA P
