511 Porous Plus is a penetrating sealer designed for the protection of the most porous surfaces. 511 Porous Plus forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains while allowing vapor to escape. 511 Porous Plus is not a surface coating and will not alter the natural look. All surfaces are harder and less slippery.

Coverage: 500 - 2,000 square feet per gallon (72 - 180 square meters per 3.785 liters). 2,000 - 4,000 square feet per gallon (288 - 360 square meters per 3.785 liters) on polished surfaces. Container sizes: Contractor Pak, quart, pint.
APPLICATION:
Read entire label and PDS/MSDS before using. 511 Porous Plus should not be diluted or thinned in any way. 511 Porous Plus should be used as is direct from approved container.
Sealing As a Grout Release: Apply 511 Porous Plus to all surfaces prior to grouting. This step will allow quick and easy cleanup after grouting. Grout can stain many surfaces if this procedure is not used prior to the grouting process. Apply 511 Porous Plus using a Mira Brush or a clean towel. Apply enough to wet the surface. (See coverage charts) Be careful not to saturate the open grout joints. Allow 511 Porous Plus to stand for approximately 3 - 5 minutes for maximum penetration. Any excess sealer remaining at this time should be removed by wiping the surface with a clean dry towel. On very porous surfaces apply another application after the previous application has dried 2-3 hours. Any excess sealer that has dried on the surface creating a residue/film, may be removed by applying Residue Remover. Apply Residue Remover undiluted to the affected area with a clean dry towel. Let it sit for 1 - 2 minutes before buffing the area with a second clean dry towel. Allow 511 Porous Plus to cure for 6 - 12 hours before continuing with the grouting procedure per manufacturers specification.
After Grouting: Once grouted, make sure that all grout residue is removed from the surface with a clean sponge and water. Allow grout to dry at least 24 - 72 hours. If grout clean up is not performed effectively, an additional cleaning may be necessary to remove remaining grout residue or haze. For this procedure use Phosphoric Acid Cleaner , (GCFR) Grout & Concrete Film Remover (Hydrochloric Acid), Sulfamic Acid Crystals or Epoxy Grout Film Remover following the instructions carefully.
Grout Sealing Once the area has completely dried, proceed with the sealing of the grout for water and stain resistance. Apply 511 Porous Plus to all grout with a paint brush. Any excess sealer that gets on the surface should be wiped off with a clean towel before it dries. On larger jobs grout can be sealed by retreating the entire area including the tile or stone surface a second time. Be careful not to allow the sealer to puddle or dry on presealed surfaces.
Residue Removal: To remove accumulated 511 Porous Plus residue, use Miracle Residue Remover as directed.
Existing Installation - Surface Preparation: Surface must be dry and free of contaminants, including previously applied sealers, dirt, lime & hard water deposits, efflorescence, rust & other heavy dirt and grime. Floor Coating/Wax Removal: To remove existing coatings and/or waxes, use Mira Strip or H2O Strip following the instructions carefully.
Heavy Duty Cleaning: To remove lime and hard water deposits, efflorescence, rust, grease and other heavy dirt and grime use GCFR (Grout & Concrete Film Remover), Phosphoric Acid Cleaner as directed. For a non-acid deep clean use Liquid Poultice as directed. All strippers and/or cleaners should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water and the surface allowed to dry.
Sealing Existing Surfaces: Follow the application instructions previously mentioned, except now, seal the grout and tile or stone surfaces at the same time. When treating surfaces together, make sure that the recessed grout is saturated.
Light Cleaning: Use Mira Clean #1, Porcelain & Ceramic Tile Cleaner, Mira Soap & Counter Kleen as directed.
Sealer Cure Time: 511 Porous Plus will be dry to the touch in 1 - 3 hours and may be used for normal foot traffic. For optimum results the area should be kept dry and free from staining materials for 24 - 72 hours.
