Why use it
- Keeps out water and protects against mold and mildew
- Resists oil, diesel, hydraulic fluid and common exterior stains
- Resists mild acids for industrial and commercial settings
- Resists bird and animal waste, ideal for coastal sites
- Expected wear of 5+ years under normal conditions
- 5-year limited warranty
Where to use it
- Parking structures
- Decks and balconies
- Garage floors
- Natural stone
Industries
- Parking structures
- Commercial buildings
- Construction
How to apply
- Do the water test: sprinkle water on the surface. If it soaks in and darkens, it is unsealed. If it beads up, remove the old sealer or coating first.
- Remove all silicone and polymer-modified grout. The coating will not stick to silicone.
- Clean off oil, grease, dust, dirt, laitance and curing agents. If oil has soaked in, make sure none can wick back up, or the coating can peel.
- Repair cracks, crumbling areas and defects. New concrete or masonry: sandblast or floor-grind to a 600-grit profile, check the pH is 7 to 9, and let it dry to 13% moisture or less.
- Test a small, hidden area first to check adhesion and the look. Cover nearby surfaces.
- Shake thoroughly to mix in the settled layer (about 1/4 inch), and again every 15 to 20 minutes.
- Spray from 8 to 10 inches away in a cross or circular pattern, with an acetone-proof pump sprayer and a grey or red fan tip. You can also roll it on with a saturated high-density, ultra-smooth roller, or use an airless sprayer on large jobs. Do not apply too thick or let it puddle.
- Second coat only if needed. Sprayed: wait 10 to 20 minutes. Rolled: wait 24 hours, abrade with 220 grit, clean off the dust, then reapply.

Concrete Coating: common questions
How soon can people walk on it?
After at least 8 to 12 hours. Keep it away from moisture for 48 hours. Full cure takes 7 days.
My concrete was sealed before. Can I still use it?
Sprinkle water on it. If the water beads up, the old sealer must be removed first, or the coating will not bond.
How far does a 20 L pail go?
About 1,050 to 3,150 sq ft, based on 200 to 600 sq ft per gallon. Porous or rough concrete is at the low end.
Does it work on brick and pavers?
Yes. It is made for concrete walls, floors, masonry pavers, brick and cement block.
Concrete Coating or Natural Seal?
Concrete Coating forms a protective film with a gloss or satin finish, for floors, decks and parking. Natural Seal soaks in, leaves no film and keeps the natural look, for walls, brick and stone.
How long does it last?
Expected wear is 5+ years under normal conditions. Reapply as needed.
