Benefits

• Brilliant Wet-Look Gloss – Instagloss dries to a brilliant wet-look gloss from the very first application of two or more coats.
• Excellent Repair-ability – Instagloss responds exceptionally well to cleaning and buffing programs. It is quickly and easily revived to a deep shine when buffed or burnished with electric buffing or burnishing machines and Instabuff maintainer solution.
• Coating Performance – Provides optimal durability and resistance to traffic marks, black heel marks and scuffing.
• Slip Resistance – Instagloss provides exceptional slip resistance.
• Wooden Floors – Instagloss provides a durable protective coating to timber floor surfaces which enhances the natural beauty of the wood.

Application areas and surface suitability

Instagloss is a high gloss, acrylic polymer floor polish.

Ideal for use on vinyl, linoleum, slate, terrazzo, terracotta, marble and granite. On stone surfaces and on polished concrete it is recommended that a base coat of Instaseal be applied first.
Considerations:
Slip resistance: Instagloss provides conformance with AS/NZS 4586:2004 slip resistance classification of new pedestrian surface materials (wet and dry).

How to use

Read and understand the MSDS before use
Always pre-test in an inconspicuous location.

Preparation:

Application

Apply 3 to 5 coats of Instagloss depending on the porosity of the surface and the expected amount of traffic. Repeated thin, evenly spread coats are better that one heavy application.
If Instaseal has been applied as a base coat, only 2 to 3 coats of Instagloss need to be applied. Instagloss can be applied as soon as the Instaseal is touch dry.
Coverage is 50-80m2 per litre per coat depending on the porosity of the surface.

Directions:

1. Apply Instagloss using a clean polish applicator. Spread a thin coat over the floor area using slightly overlapping strokes.
2. Allow to dry (30-40 minutes).
3. Apply the second and subsequent coats in the same manner as the first. Apply each coat at right angles to the previous coat to ensure even coverage.
4. Allow at least 12 hours before returning the floor to normal use.

Maintenance:
Maintain the Instagloss floor finish using ProNeutro neutral cleaner. Buff regularly using Instabuff or Instabuff Super and a white, grey or red pad. Use an electric or battery powered polishing machine capable of between 150 and 1000rpm.
