Description
State-of-the-art, VOC-compliant acrylic emulsion. Applied after finishing to form a membrane that retains mix water, allowing normal hydration. Proper curing is the best insurance to help eliminate scaling concrete and reduce callbacks. An excellent anti-spalling compound.
Contains no fillers, extenders, waxes or flammable solvents.

Application
METHOD: Apply with spray, brush, long-nap roller or lambswool applicator. Ordinary
garden-type sprayers with neoprene hoses are recommended for best results. Spray
uniformly to form a continuous film.
CURING NEWLY PLACED CONCRETE: Application should be made immediately after finishing, as soon
as bleed water has disappeared and slab can support the weight of an applicator.
SEALING NEW CONCRETE: For an excellent sealer and added protection to concrete cured with
product, apply a second coat after 28 days of curing. If not previously applied when curing
concrete, apply two coats, second coat four hours after first coat. Area to be sealed must be
cleaned and free of all foreign matter such as dirt, rubber marks, paint, etc. Apply at 300-400 sq.
ft. per gal./7.4-9.8 sq. m per L, to dry surface.
DUSTPROOFING AND SEALING AGED CONCRETE: Defective mortar, open joints and spalling should be
repaired. Surface must be structurally sound and free of foreign matter such as grease, oil, dirt
and incompatible sealers and coatings. Unitex CITRI-CLEAN should be used as a degreaser and to
remove rubber tire marks, followed by a thorough rinse with clean water. Apply to dry surface at
300-400 sq. ft./gal., or 7.4-9.8 sq. m./L, depending upon the porosity. Second coat is necessary
for maximum protection. Apply after 4 hrs. drying time at 300-600 sq. ft. per gal./7.4-14.7 sq.
m per L.
| DRYING TIME: |
(80°F/27°C): |
| Dry to touch: |
30 min. |
| Light foot traffic: |
4 hrs. |
| Normal traffic: |
Overnight |
| Maximum hardness: |
7 days |
CARE OF SPRAYER: To release air pressure from spray can at night, turn can upside down and
open valve. When not in use, keep hose and nozzle elevated to drain away from tip. Prior to drying,
equipment can be cleaned with soap and water.

Limitations
Test panel should be made prior to application on exposed aggregate, concrete block,
stone, precast, colored concrete, etc. Test application should be left for the time
specified by the manufacturer. This procedure is recommended due to the thousands of
different native stones.
- Protect from freezing.
- Do not apply if concrete is below 40°F/4°C.
- Colored Concrete: Best results are obtained by waiting a minimum of 72 hrs. prior
to application. Do no over apply. Test samples are recommended.
- Not for continual immersion in water or around pools, fountains.
- May not provide bond for cementitious or other adhesives.Tests should be conducted
to determine bondability with new products.
- Do not dilute or alter the product in any way.
- Use in well ventilated areas.
- For industrial use only.
