Concrete Floor Sealer

The Siloxa-Tek 8510 is best used to protect against water and to resist staining making spills easier to clean including oils and greases. Because of the small amount of solvent carrier, this high actives penetrating sealer is the deepest penetrating and longest lasting concrete sealer in the Siloxa-Tek line.

Available only in a ready to use version, two coats are easily applied wet-on-wet with a solvent rated sprayer, roller or brush. The concrete retains its natural, flat finish after sealing.

To increase the strength and performance of the Siloxa-Tek 8510, apply one coat of the Lithi-Tek 4500 five to seven days prior to sealing with the Siloxa-Tek 8510.

One coat of the Siloxa-Tek 8510 can be applied over polished concrete for added water and stain resistance

The Epoxy 325 is the first step in an epoxy floor coating system. This primer is applied after the concrete has been etched or grind-ed. Before applying an epoxy floor coating it is best to scarify and rough up the surface of the concrete in order for the coating to properly bond and adhere. This can be achieved by acid etching and neutralizing the concrete or by mechanically grinding the concrete with a floor grinder.

Once the surface has been properly prepped the Epoxy 325 can then be applied with an epoxy glide roller. The Epoxy 325 is available in a two component kit. Each kit contains a Part A and a Part B. Part A and Part B are mixed together with a drill or jiffy mixer. Once Part A and Part B are mixed the Epoxy 325 must be applied within 1 hour. About 7-10 hours after applying the Epoxy 325, the Urethane 645 can then be applied as a top coat.

The Epoxy 325 is available in a clear or colored semi-gloss finish. If you are using a colored epoxy primer you are going to want to use the same color top coat. Paint chips (for decoration) or aluminum oxide (for slip resistance) can be cast into the wet epoxy and then top coated with the Urethane 645.

The combination of the Epoxy 325 primer and Urethane 645 top coat are excellent at stopping dusting, repelling oils, greases, chemicals and acids; however, they can only be used on indoor concrete floors.

If there is moisture in the concrete prior to application first use the Vapor-Tek 440.

The Micro-Degreaser 1100 can be used to degrease and remove soils and stains prior to using the Epoxy 325.

The Hydro-Etch 1000 can be used to etch the concrete prior to applying the Epoxy 325.

The Urethane 645 is typically applied about 7-10 hours after applying the Epoxy 325. If more than 48 hours have elapsed since the Epoxy 325 primer has been applied it is best to lightly sand the surface of the Epoxy 325 to maximize the bond and adhesion of the Urethane 645.

The Urethane 645 is also available clear or colored and in a two component kit leaving a high-gloss finish. Each kit contains a Part A and a Part B. Part A and Part B are mixed together with a drill or jiffy mixer. Once Part A and Part B are mixed the Urethane 645 must be applied within 2 hours.

One coat of the Urethane 645 is best applied with an epoxy glide roller. The Urethane 645 leaves a high gloss finish and is extremely easy to clean. However, it can also be slippery when wet. If maximum traction is desired 46 Grit Aluminum Oxide can be cast into the wet Epoxy 325 and then coated with the Urethane 645. If lesser traction is desired a slip resistant additive can be mixed into a kit of Urethane 645.

The combination of the Epoxy 325 primer and Urethane 645 top coat are excellent at stopping dusting, repelling oils, greases, chemicals and acids; however, they can only be used on indoor concrete floors.

Because of VOC restrictions in the State of California, the Urethane 645 cannot be used. A California compliant version of the Urethane is available for use in California, Urethane 645-CA.
