Non-VOC, High
Solids, Solvent Based, Non-Yellowing, Acrylic Concrete, Sealing, Compound
A Solvent Based Sealer with VOC's < 100 Grams/Liter
Meets all State VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) Regulations
(New
Jan. 1, 2005
Regulations and Future Regulations coming into Law)
Designed for use as a
gloss finish on new or aged concrete
Use as a sealer/dustproofer on previously cured rough or smooth
finished concrete surfaces. This Concrete Sealer contains 35% solids for long
lasting durability and high gloss.
Product
Description
Tarksol Sealproof provides protection and
resistance to abrasion and staining. Tarksone is the solvent used
in Tarksol Conseal. Tarksone is a 0 VOC solvent that
evaporates very quickly and exhibits a flash point over 140 deg F. Tarksol
Sealproof dries very quickly to a hard glossy finish that is resistant to
chemicals and abrasion. This
product is used for garage, basement, patio, industrial and repair shop
concrete floors. A very high gloss and excellent durability.
Advantages
·
Remains sprayable in freezing temperatures
·
Prevents surface crazing and cracking
·
Dries to a dust and tackproof state in 30 minutes quickly providing protection
from rainfall, scuffing and foot traffic
·
Reduces final clean-up costs by protecting concrete from oil, grease and
chemical spills and from mortar splashing adhesion
·
Second applications, after finial clean up, beautify concrete appearance with
a lustroussheen and reduce after-occupancy maintenance costs
·
Treated surfaces are readily recoatable when necessary without sanding or
scarification
·
Tarksol Conseal is compatible with most adhesives used for resilient floor
coverings and concrete paints
·
Provides long term protection to
concrete floors

Instructions
Site environmental conditions, substrate conditions and construction have a
major effect on product selection, application methods, procedures and rates,
appearance and performance. Product literature provides general information
applicable to some or most conditions. However, an adequate site test
application by the purchaser or installer in advance of field scale use is
mandatory, to verify that product and quantities can be satisfactorily applied
and will achieve desired appearance and performance under intended use
conditions.
Low pressure spray application provides the best results; however, product can
be applied with brushes or rollers. Spray apparatus should be equipped with
chemically resistant hoses and gaskets. Larger areas are most economically
treated with power sprayers.
Do not thin or dilute
Applications
Application
rates vary with substrate conditions.
Approximate
rates for curing is 250 square feet per gallon
Approximate rate for sealing is 300 square feet per gallon
Application equipment should be cleaned with solvents (Tarksol Biomass 60 or
Tarksol HTF-85B environmental solvents are suggested).

Previously
Cured Concrete
|
Maintenance
|
|
Apply immediately following finial finish and
disappearance of surface water sheen. It is suggested to allow concrete
to cure prior to application. Tarksol
Conseal is recommended as a curing compound however, Sealproof can be
used.
|
Remove
all dirt, oil, grease, paint or foreign cure residue with Tarksol Super
Strip or Tarksol Oilsolv (environmental cleaners) and clean with a 10%
caustic solution.
|
Wipe
up all chemical, solvent or petroleum spills as soon as possible
|
|
Apply
to the point of saturation and appearance of continuous surface film
|
Rinse
thoroughly with clean water and squeegee off excess water.
|
Remove
all dirt and debris by sweeping
|
|
Concrete
should be damp but not wet. Avoid over application, puddles or runs
|
Allow
surface to dry 24-48 hours prior to first application
|
Wash
and buff
periodically to help maintain surface luster
|
|
For
maximum sealing and dustproffing benefits, apply a second coat of
Tarksol Sealproof after
finial clean-up and concrete is dry
|
Use
moisture meter or adequate material test to verify satisfactory adhesion
and appearance
|
Clean
damaged coating areas promptly and recoat
|
|
|
Apply
a second application in 24 hours
|
|
Precautions
Do not use on concrete slabs with inadequately drained subgrade, Treated
surfaces to be covered with concrete or plaster, and/or surfaces subject to
hydrostatic water pressures.
Coating delamination (blistering) may occur if applied prior to allowing all
surface bleed water to fully evaporate. Moisture saturated subgrade or a
moisture barrier placed beneath the slab to be cured and/or sealed may
increase the risk of coating delamination.
Do not use with other floor sealers, treatments, bondbreakers or adhesives
without prior site test to determine compatibility and adhesion.
Any variations in concrete surface density may be highlighted by surface
mottling after product application. Make test application to determine
performance and appearance acceptability
Do not use around sparks or open flame. Provide adequate ventilation.
Treated surfaces may be slippery prior to drying and when wet with water or
liquids after drying.
When used in exterior applications, coated surfaces will slowly oxidize in
time, necessitating reapplication.
