Preparation
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands after use and do not take internally. Please refer to the product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before using. The preparation process should be followed to ensure adequate penetration and optimum performance:
Step 1:
The concrete substrate must be structurally sound, thoroughly dry and clean. Wait at least 24-48 hours after rain and/or pressure washing before sealing; concrete should be visibly dry.
Step 2:
Remove all paints, previous sealers and/or adhesives before application.
Step 3:
The substrate must be clean of oil, grease, dirt, wax, curing compounds, efflorescence and other contaminants that might interfere with the penetration of the sealer.
Step 4:
If acid is used to clean the concrete, neutralize the surface completely and rinse it with water prior to application. Then wait for the concrete to dry out for at least 24-48 hours.
Step 5:
The surface-zone moisture content of the concrete should not exceed 4%wt.
Step 6:
Cover all surrounding areas not intended to be coated.
Step 7:
New concrete must be cured for at least 28 days before sealing.
