Why Contractors Choose It
Contractors choose Surface Shine Gray when fresh concrete needs curing support, surface protection, and a cleaner finished slab appearance.

Application
Surface Preparation
For optimal adhesion and performance, the concrete substrate should be free of contaminants and either clean and dry or slightly damp. Dense, hard-troweled concrete should be profiled or roughened to enhance adhesion.
Application Instructions
- Ready to use; do not dilute.
- Apply with a sprayer for uniform thin films, which is the preferred method for best results.
- Apply two thin coats, allowing the first coat to thoroughly dry before applying the second.
- Never apply one heavy coat to avoid puddles.
- Coverage for curing:300 400 sq ft/gal
- Coverage for dustproofing and sealing:400 600 sq ft/gal
For New Concrete
Apply as soon as surface water has evaporated and the surface can be worked without being marred. Apply in a uniform coat, and for enhanced protection and finish, a second coat can be applied at400 sq ft per gallon.
For Existing Concrete
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, or damp, and free from stains, oil, grease, dirt, and incompatible coatings. Application will enhance the appearance of existing concrete, brick, or terrazzo floors, making them brighter and easier to maintain.
Packaging
Available in 5 gallon pails.
Shelf Life
Two years from the date of manufacture when stored in original tightly closed containers. Avoid accumulation of water, dirt, or other contaminants.
Standards
- MeetsASTM C-1315andASTM C 309, Type 1, Classes A & B.
