Application

Surface Preparation
  • Concrete must be clean and free of standing water
  • Remove any sealer or material that could prevent adhesion
Fresh Concrete
  • Apply at 250–350 sq. ft./gal with a sprayer (pump-up or airless industrial recommended)
  • Roller application possible with a short-napped, solvent-resistant sleeve (avoid bubbles)
  • For extra high-gloss or porous surfaces, apply an additional coat at 400 sq. ft./gal
  • Allow 1–3 hours or until dry-to-touch before applying a second coat
Existing Concrete
  • Thoroughly clean and dry the surface
  • Pressure wash with a strong alkaline detergent (do not use acids)
  • Worn or porous areas may require a second application
  • Allow 12 hours between coats
  • Multiple thin coats (300–400 sq. ft./gal) provide a harder, more durable finish than a heavy coat
  • Dry time depends on temperature and humidity
