Specialist formula to prevent staining from pigmented grouts and jointing compounds
Universeal Temporary Protective Sealer is a water-based temporary protection for natural stone and porcelain paving, protects surfaces against discolouration and residues when using cement-based pigmented polymerised grouts or pointing systems.
This sacrificial protective coating can be easily removed by washing off after the completion of grouting or pointing. Temporary Protective Sealer is essential to use when working with modern slurry or brush in pointing paving mortars. When applied correctly, it will offer 100% protection against cement residues, pigment and polymer staining.
Special Features
- Water-based temporary protection for porcelain and natural stone paving
- 100% protection against cement residues and polymer staining
- Protects the surface against discolouration when using pigmented grouts
- Sealer is removed by the washing off process after grouting
Tester Sizes Available: Our affordable tester sizes allow you to check the product’s suitability, appearance and performance before purchasing larger volumes. As recommended in our Directions of Use, always test on a small inconspicuous area or spare offcut first. Please note: tester/sample sizes (25ml & 150ml) are non-returnable.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
- Always ensure you have adequate PPE and suitable protective clothing. All application tools can be washed with warm, clean water after use and before drying.
- Ensure paving surfaces are clean, dry and free from contamination.
- Shake the container well before use.
- Apply the Temporary Protective Sealer thoroughly with roller, brush, sponge or micro fibre cloth.
- Rub well into the surface, but avoid application to un-grouted joints.
- Allow 15-20 minutes for the first coat to surface dry before applying the second coat.
- Apply the second application in the same way as the first, allow to dry for a minimum of 1 hour (longer in cold temperatures) before proceeding with the application of the grout or pointing system.
- During the washing-off process, the Temporary Protective Sealer will be removed. Any residual can be removed with clean water after the grouting or pointing has set.
Please Note:
Do not use in temperatures below 5°C or in damp conditions. Use undiluted, apply before grouting or pointing begins.
Cover areas not to be treated with suitable protective materials. Apply between 5° C and 20° C.
Coverage:

Stain Protection
Please note that sealing your paving or tiled surfaces does not guarantee complete stain prevention. However, when applied correctly, a quality sealer will significantly enhance your surface’s appearance and durability, making regular cleaning and maintenance much easier.
If surface marks or stains do appear, they can usually be removed with the appropriate cleaning products and methods. For technical advice or support, please contact us on 01300 345898.
