Application

For new surfaces – leave up to 7 days after new concrete is laid. Ensure the surface is clean and thoroughly dry.
For old surfaces – fully clean off with power wash, ensure surface is free of stains and debris.
Allow to thoroughly dry prior to application. This may take several days.
Do not be tempted to power wash in the morning and apply sealant in the same day.
Can be applied by course droplet low level, chemical resistant sprayer, soft bristled brush or roller. (Do not use plastic coloured brushes)
Avoid excess pooling and over coating.
Ensure expansion joints are well cleaned and allowed to thoroughly dry.
Tints can be used but are not recommended unless they have been applied in the past or there is an issue with bare concrete visible.

Limitations

Do not apply when ground temperatures are below 8 degrees
Do not apply to damp or wet surfaces
Do not apply when rain is imminent or if efflorescence is present
Do not walk on treated area till dry
Do not park vehicles on treated surface for 24-48 hrs
Do not use on clay surfaces
Inclusion of additives such as colour tints, pigments and anti-slip agents may affect final finish

Test Patch

It is always advisable that a test patch in an inconspicuous area is performed prior to application of the sealant to the entire area.

Please note – solvent based sealants may “bloom” should damp or moisture be present before full cure has taken place. Solvents are released during the cure that normally permeate through the sealer, however if the sealant is applied too thickly, the substrate is damp or cold, blooming may occur giving the appearance of milky white or silvery cloud effect, this may look patchy, spotty in certain areas or across the whole driveway or patio.

If you experience a bloom in your finished sealed surface please understand that although this looks unsightly, this is not a product fault and can be rectified with xylene or bloom remover.
