Application

Surface Preparation:The concrete surface should be clean and free of standing water, sealer, or other materials that could hinder adhesion. Ensure the surface is prepared properly before application.

For Fresh Concrete

  • Apply uniformly by spraying between 250-350 sq ft per gallon. Although spraying is recommended for best results, roller application is possible using a short-napped, solvent-resistant sleeve—care should be taken to avoid air entrapment.
  • For an extra high gloss or on especially porous surfaces, a second thin coat may be applied at 400 sq-ft per gallon after 1-3 hours, or once the surface is dry to the touch.

For Existing Concrete

  • Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Pressure washing with a strong alkaline detergent is advised to remove dirt, waxes, and oils.
  • Worn or porous areas might require a second coat for uniform sealing and appearance.
  • Apply multiple thin coats (300 400 sq ft per gallon) rather than a single heavy one to achieve a harder, more durable finish. Dry times vary with temperature and humidity.
