Tarkseal
Non-VOC, High Solids, Solvent Based, Non-Yellowing, Acrylic Concrete
Curing, Sealing, and Dustproofing Compound. A Solvent Based Sealer with VOC's < 100 Grams/Liter Meets all State VOC (Volatile Organic
Compound) Regulations (New Designed for use as a cure on freshly placed concrete and as a high gloss
sealer for aged finished concrete. Use as a sealer/dustproof on both
previously cured and new rough or smooth finished concrete surfaces. This
curing/sealer contains 23% solids. Product Description

Will
not Stain Applied to freshly placed
and finished concrete surfaces, TARKSEAL creates a vapor seal that retains
moisture for proper curing. It also provides early rainfall protection and
resistance to abrasion and staining. The sealer will protect against spalling,
dusting, efflorescence, freeze thaw damage, and alkali degradation. TARKSEAL can also protect
in food preparation areas from food and beverage stains and slabs in garages
and parking facilities from grease and oil penetration Tarksone
is the solvent used in TARKSEAL. Tarksone is a 0 VOC solvent that evaporates
very quickly and exhibits a flash point over 140 deg F.. TARKSEAL is a 23%
Acrylic exhibits UV resistance from sunlight, excellent protection against
water and chloride intrusion. Unlike Epoxies, TARKSEAL Acrylic will not yellow
from UV exposure Advantages
·
Specifically designed to meet the moisture
retention properties of: ASTM
C 1315 Type 1, Class A ASTM
C 309
·
Remains spray able in freezing temperatures
·
Ensures sufficient retention of mix water for
at least 72 hours, allowing concrete to develop maximum strength, density and
surface hardness
·
Prevents surface crazing and cracking
·
Dries to a dust and tack proof state in 30
minutes quickly providing protection from rainfall, scuffing and foot traffic
·
Acrylic Polymer – UV resistant, will not
yellow
·
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 lustrous sheen and reduce after-occupancy
maintenance costs
·
Treated surfaces are readily recoat able when
necessary without sanding or scarification
·
TARKSEAL; is compatible with most adhesives
used for resilient floor coverings and concrete paints

Use 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 applies 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 Biosoy or Tarksol HTF-85B environmental solvents is suggested
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 delaminating
(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
delaminating. 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. Patent Notice Tarksol 97 is made under
U.S. Patent numbers 5,112,516, 5,393,451,
and 5,498,805. Tarksone is made under patent pending.
