Surface Shine Brown EX
25% solids low VOC solvent-based pigmented cure & seal (ASTM C309)
Surface Shine Brown EX is a VOC compliant brown pigmented acrylic polymer engineered to cure, seal, harden, and dustproof freshly placed concrete and improve the wearability and durability of aged concrete surfaces. Surface Shine Brown EX is formulated with a unique solvent blend allowing fast-drying, solvent-base performance along with VOC compliance in the OTC/ LADCO/MRPO regions. Surface Shine Brown EX is a light brown pigmented sealer that enhances and tints the cement paste of a Merrimack Brown exposed aggregate surfaces.
- Minimizes efflorescence
- Beautifies and protects concrete and exposed aggregate
- Will not yellow under extreme UV exposure
- Acts as a binder to minimize aggregate pop-out
- Protects sealed surfaces from damaging effects of de-icing salts and acid rain
- Provides resistance to abrasion and a wide range of chemicals and oils
Application
For New Concrete:
- Apply as soon as surface water has evaporated and without marring the concrete. Apply evenly in a uniform coat. For superior finish and added protection, a second coat can be applied at 400 sq ft/gal after the first coat has thoroughly dried.
For Existing Concrete:
- Ensure the concrete surface is clean, dry, or damp and free from all stains, oil, grease, dirt, and incompatible coatings. Surface Shine Brown EX can renovate existing concrete, brick, or terrazzo floors, making them brighter and easier to maintain.
Application Tips:
- Do not apply on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight to avoid rapid evaporation which may prevent proper film formation and could lead to bubbling, peeling, or blushing. Maintain high pressure in sprayers and keep the sprayer tip within 12 inches of the surface.
- Agitate well before every use and apply in uniform thin films for best results. Two thin coats are recommended, never a single heavy coat. Avoid puddles and apply in accordance with recommended coverage rates.
Packaging
Available in 5-gallon pails.
