AFM Safecoat Carpet Safechoice Carpet Seal is a non-toxic sealer designed to prevent the outgassing
of harmful chemicals used in carpet backing. These chemicals include such known carcinogens as
formaldehyde, toluene, benzene, xylene, and styrene. It effectively blocks outgassing for up to five
cleanings or one year. Use in conjunction with SafeChoice Carpet Shampoo and SafeChoice Carpet Lock
Out to clean out and seal in the harmful chemicals found in a typical carpet. Not recommended
for wool.
USE ON:
All synthetic carpets and rugs. Not recommend for wool.
LIMITATIONS:
Safecoat sealers are made without formaldehyde preservatives. Do not contaminate. Store in airtight
containers. Use when indoor
temperature is above 55 degrees F. Keep from freezing. Thick application, high humidity or conditions
other than normal will cause
AFM Safecoat Carpet Safechoice Carpet seal to dry and cure more slowly.
APPLICATION:
Carpet should be vacuumed and cleaned prior to application of Carpet Seal. Use not toxic, odorless
SafeChoice Carpet Shampoo. Follow usage guidelines for use. Immediately after shampooing apply
SafeChoice Carpet Seal liberally but evenly (while carpet is still damp) using a handheld pump
sprayer (similar to a garden-type sprayer).
Do not oversaturate. Do not use SafeChoice Carpet Seal on a dry carpet. Work
SafeChoice Carpet Seal into the fibers with a rotary brush, polishing machine or clean garage broom,
just enough to assure complete and uniform contact. UPON COMPLETION, CLOTH DRY FIBER TOPS TO PREVENT
FORMATION OF WHITE FILM AS PRODUCT DRIES.
Even coverage and wiping surface is essential. Aditionally SafeChoice Carpet Seal should be applied
to a carpet not just immediately cleaned, prior to application be sure to dampen carpet with clear
water using a hand-held pump sprayer. The drying and curing process may be accelerated by using
conventional heating methods. Do not permit traffic on the carpet until dry to touch.
After four or five cleanings or one year, re-application of SafeChoice Carpet Seal may be necessary
to ensure outgassing
containment. NOTE: Before applying SafeChoice Carpet Guard the first time, test in small
inconspicuous areas to confirm compatibility and color fastness.
CLEAN-UP:
Warm soapy water solution before product drys
DRYING/CURING TIME:
Four to six hours to the touch - total cure time twenty-four hours. Cool temperatures and/or high
humidity may increase drying time. Normal conditions include a dry surface, access to fresh air
flow, moderate humidity, and temperatures above 55 degrees F
HEALTH PRECAUTIONS:
As with all coatings and sealers, keep container tightly closed and out of the reach of children.
Do not take internally. Keep from freezing. Always use adequate ventilation.
