Why Contractors Choose It
Contractors choose SpecSilane 40 when the slab or surface needs protection, appearance control, and a sealer matched to exposure conditions.
New Concrete:Should be well cured (28 days minimum) and free of all curing residues, dust, debris, oil, and other contaminants. Surfaces must be absorptive to allow penetration of the SpecSilane 40.
Application Method:Apply using a roller, brush, or low pressure sprayer at a rate determined by surface porosity:Porous surfaces:100-125 ft²/galBroom finish:100-150 ft²/galSmooth concrete:150-200 ft²/gal
Old Concrete and Masonry:Remove any previously applied sealers and contaminants with pressure washing and SpecChem Citrus Cleaner or other appropriate cleaning measures.
Packaging
Available in 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums.
Shelf Life
Store sealed in a clean, dry area between 45°F and 85°F. Shelf life is one year in unopened containers.
