DESCRIPTION
SEAL CURE is an economical curing and sealing compound formulated from acrylic polymers and quick-evaporating solvents. When applied on freshly placed concrete it forms a clear, uniform moisture retentive film, which simultaneously cures and seals the concrete.
USE
Curing and sealing newly placed concrete in commercial and industrial applications such as floors, sidewalks, service stations, multi-level parking decks and driveways.
SEAL CURE is recommended for exterior use. It provides a durable finish that is more resistant to chemicals, oil, grease, de-icing salts and abrasion.
FEATURES
Retains mix water in concrete to permit complete hydration of the cement paste for hard, dense concrete resistant to staining, abrasion, dusting and spalling.
Film remains on concrete surface to permit easy clean up and reduce maintenance costs.
Accepts chlorinated rubber and oil-based paints and most flooring adhesives.
CAUTION
Use only when concrete surfaces are above 5°C (40°F) and only after all surface water sheen has disappeared.
Allow 24 hours before application in very high humidity conditions.
Will temporarily darken concrete, lightens to normal concrete colour in 6 to 12 months.
Keep vapours away from foodstuffs.
Not resistant to aromatic solvents, will not resist spillage of lead free gasoline.
Flammable - keep away from heat and open flame.
Do not use as a substitute sealer where coloured concrete shakes require colour-matched sealers.
STANDARDS
Conforms to ASTM C 309, Type 1, Class B.
DATA
Coverage
Broomed surface 4.9 m²/L (240 ft.²/gal.)
Trowelled surface up to 14.7 m²/L (720 ft.²/gal.)
Coverage is approximate and depends on the porosity of the surface.
Packaging
3.78 litre or 18.9 litre pails and 205 litre drums
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Product container provides all application information. Read and follow all instructions and precautions.
Apply by sprayer, long nap roller, soft bristle broom or lamb's wool applicator. Standard garden-type sprayers equipped with a neoprene hose and gaskets are recommended for best results.
Apply SEAL CURE as soon as all surface water has disappeared and the concrete surface will not be marred by walking workmen. Apply evenly over entire surface; avoid puddling in low areas. Restrict foot traffic for at least 4 hours preferably, 12 hours.
Should not be applied during high temperature conditions in direct sunlight. These conditions cause rapid evaporation, which does not allow the film to form properly. Under these conditions, the film may peel, bubble, and/or turn white (blush).
Should not be applied to concrete exposed to excessive moisture. Entrapped moisture in a solvent based sealer may cause the film to peel and/or turn white (blush).
For greater protection and higher sheen, apply a further coating of SEAL CURE and/or apply a coating of Seal Cure/25.
CLEAN UP
Clean tools and equipment after use with a solvent such as SEALTIGHT Solvent, Xylene or Toluol.
