Ultra Seal Eco Shield Dry Look Penetrating Concrete Sealer

Porous materials like natural and man-made stone, concrete, stucco and masonry will start to break down, chalk, pit, crack, and/​or stain when subjected to salt, water infiltration, freeze/thaw cycle, harsh weather, oil, and UV rays. The only way to prevent damage and deterioration is to protect your surfaces is with a top quality sealer.

Ultra Seal Eco Shield Dry Look Penetrating Concrete Sealer

Description

SURFACE PREPARATION

For freshly poured concrete: Apply after concrete sets for at least 24 hours. Make sure no water puddles are present. Concrete may be slightly wet before applying.

For fully cured concrete: Remove all dirt, wax, dust, mildew, and loose or scaling material with a scraper, wire brush, or stiff bristle brush. Grease, wax, and oil should be removed by scrubbing with CLEAR PINK STUFF or a heavy duty detergent in warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow to dry. If using a pressure washer, do not use on a pressure setting above 1750 psi to avoid damaging the concrete. Remember, concrete acts like a sponge – pressure washing and general cleaning may trap residual moisture in the concrete. To check for trapped moisture, tape a 12”x12” piece of 3 mil plastic or aluminum foil tightly on all four edges to the surface. Remove it after 24 hours. If the floor side of the plastic or foil is damp, allow additional drying and repeat the test.

EFFLORESCENCE: A white, powdery, crystal-like deposit visible on the masonry surface, should be removed. CLEAN UP EFFLORESCENCE REMOVER or muriatic acid, used according to manufacturer’s directions, are effective efflorescence removal agents. All masonry surfaces are subject to occurrences of efflorescence. Properly prepared concrete should look and feel like medium grit sandpaper. If concrete remains smooth, repeat etching procedure. Test concrete porosity by sprinkling a few drops of water on to the surface in several areas. If the water is readily absorbed, you are ready to paint. If it beads or lays on the surface, additional cleaning and etching is needed. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry for 24 hours.

NOTE: Rinse etching solutions thoroughly. Etching solutions allowed to dry on masonry surfaces prevent proper curing of ECO SHIELD DRY LOOK PENETRATING CONCRETE SEALER and may result in the ECO SHIELD DRY LOOK PENETRATING CONCRETE SEALER appearing milky when dry. Patch all holes and cracks with a masonry crack filler or a suitable cement-based patching compound. Be sure to smooth the patch evenly. Allow the patched area to dry thoroughly.

APPLICATION

Apply only when air and surface temperature is above 50° F and humidity below 70%. Do not apply if raining or if it will rain within 48 hours of application. ECO SHIELD DRY LOOK PENETRATING CONCRETE SEALER appears milky in the pail but dries clear. Apply by brush, roller, spray, or squeegee. Spread evenly – do not allow puddles or a heavy surface film to
occur. Apply one coat using thin even strokes. Extremely porous surfaces may require a second coat. Allow 6 hours drying time between coats. Additional coats will cause surface to be
slippery when wet. On light-colored surfaces, some darkening may take place; test in an inconspicuous area to be sure darkening does not occur. May be applied to surfaces previously coated with a similar treatment. For best results, test a small area for proper adhesion prior to coating entire surface.

THINNING
Due to variations in porosity, when applied over flagstone, slate, terrazzo, dense smooth or light colored concrete, thin with clean, moderately warm water 10%—20% to minimize sheen.

In addition, light colored concrete may darken unevenly due to variations in porosity. Test on a small area to see final effect.

SEAL Rx ENHANCE

Seal RX Enhance Stone Sealer is a heavy duty, solvent based, silane-siloxane designed to enhance color, impart water repellency and stain resistance to a wide variety of natural stone, concrete and aggregate surfaces.  The silanes react chemically and bond with the substrate to form an insoluble water-resistant treatment within 24-72 hours after application.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

 

RECOMMENDED USES:

For properly prepared, unsealed natural stone, concrete walls, foundations, pre-cast concrete, block, brick and most aggregate surfaces.

 

SURFACE PREPARATION:

Dirt, grease, grime and any foreign material must be removed before application of SEAL Rx ENHANCE.  Treat surface for mildew.  Oil and grease should be scrubbed with a solution of TSP and water.

 

APPLICATION INFORMATION:  

Apply with brush, roller, airless sprayer or pump sprayer.  When spraying, use a tip designed for gloss coatings.  Apply when surface and air temperatures are above 32 Deg. F and rising.  Do not apply if the threat of rain exists.  Do not over apply or allow product to puddle.

 

  • Always apply a test sample to insure compatibility
  • Do not apply to a surface that was previously treated with another product
  • Take care to cover nearby vegetation, glass, plastic and metals. Seal RX 580 may damage them.
  • May be applied to damp surface, however, do not apply when standing water is present

 

SEAL Rx ENHANCE requires different application methods for smooth and porous/rough surfaces.

 

Smooth surfaces:

  1. Apply with brush, roller or spray
  2. Allow to sit for 30-45 minutes
  3. Wipe off excess material with a t-shirt type material. The excess should be removed similar to removing wax from a car.

 

Porous/Rough surfaces: No wiping is necessary as long as product penetrated and no puddles or excess material is visible.

 

 

RECOMMENDED THINNER:

SEAL Rx ENHANCE does not require thinning and should be used as is, directly from the container.

 

BENEFITS:

 

  • Enhances color of substrate.
  • Reduces water absorption into the substrate, thus reducing spalling due to freeze thaw and efflorescence, thereby increasing the life of the substrate.
  • Resists staining
  • Colorless and non-yellowing protection preserves the appearance of the substrate.
  • Penetrating & breathable
  • Low VOC
  • May be applied to damp surfaces
  • UV Resistant
  • Reduces mildew growth on surface

DANGER: 

COMBUSTIBLE!  KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN!

Contains flammable solvents.  Causes eye burns.  Vapor is harmful.  May cause allergic skin reaction.  Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing.  Wear eye and skin protective equipment when handling.  Wear appropriate, properly fitted respirator (NIOSH.MSHA approved) during and after application unless air monitoring demonstrates vapor/mist levels are below applicable levels.  Follow respirator manufacturer’s recommendations for use.  Keep containers closed when not in use.

First Aid:  In case of eye contact, flush eyes immediately with plenty of fresh water for at least 15 minutes.  Call a physician.  If inhaled, remove to fresh air.  If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth to mouth and seek immediate medical assistance.  In case of skin contact, wash immediately with soap and fresh water.  Remove contaminated clothing and launder before use.  Discard shoes if material has penetrated inside surface.

Notice:  Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvent with permanent brain and nervous system damage.  Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.
