Product Details
-
- Excellent waterproofing - Penetrates deep within the concrete chemically reacting within the pores and capillaries creating a long-lasting hydrophobic surface that beads water
- 100% breathable - Non-film forming. Allows moisture within the concrete to escape without adverse effects to the sealer. Does not trap moisture
- Provides ease of maintenance
- Protects against chloride ion penetration - Forms an effective chloride screen dramatically reducing chloride ion ingress preventing deicing salt / chloride damage
- Reduces moisture intrusion - Resists wind-driven rain, prevents freeze-thaw damage, spalling, pitting and cracking.
- Resists organic growth - Resists mold, mildew, lichen, and efflorescence
- Department of Transportation approved - Meets and exceeds DOT specifications
- Improves durability - Prevents capillary uptake of water and the aggressive substances dissolved in it
- Resists freeze thaw and thermal cycling damage
- Natural flat finish - Does not change surface appearance, UV stable will not breakdown with light exposure
- Can be applied to cured, honed and polished concrete - Ideal for horizontal surfaces exposed to pedestrian and vehicle traffic, compatible with silicate densifiers
- Water based - Low VOC’s, environmentally friendly
Application - Ultra Concentrate
- Always test a small area before application to ensure desired performance, aesthetics, coverage rates and to verify application technique. Let test area dry thoroughly, 5-7 days, before inspection.
- Always mix the concentrate with 4 parts water prior to application. Distilled water is recommended for maximum performance. Stir material throughly before and during application.
- Two wet-on-wet coats are needed to ensure complete coverage. Apply with a roller, brush or low-pressure non-atomizing sprayer. Apply to saturation and let the first coat penetrate for 5-10 minutes then reapply a second coat in the same saturating manner. Less material will be needed for the second coat. Roll or broom out any puddles until the sealer penetrates the substrate. If it starts to rain, stop treatment and cover the impregnated areas.
Dry Time
Typical drying time is 4-6 hours at 70°F and 50% relative humidity. Cooler temperatures or higher relative humidity can extend the drying time. Treated surfaces will be ready for pedestrian and vehicle traffic within 24 hours. Water repellency will continue to develop within 7 days of application.
Clean Up
Clean equipment, tools and surfaces with hot soapy water. Unused or old material may be disposed of in a waste disposal site in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
Precautions/Safety
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing, do not take internally. Use appropriate safety equipment during application and handling. Please refer to the safety data sheet (SDS) for additional precautionary instructions before use.
Best Performance
- Proper application is the responsibility of the user.
- Will not inhibit water penetration through unsound or cracked surfaces with defective flashing, caulking or structural waterproofing.
- Spills should not be allowed to sit for extended periods of time, clean all spills in a timely manner.
- Make sure the most current versions of product data sheets and safety data sheets are being used.
Coverage
1 coat: 150 - 400 square feet per gallon. 2 coats: 75 - 200 square feet per gallon. Variations in texture and porosity of substrate will affect the coverage and performance of the product.
