Surface Shine EX
High-gloss, low VOC acrylic sealer (ASTM C1315 Class A)
Surface Shine EX is a VOC compliant, high-gloss, non-yellowing acrylic polymer engineered as a cure and seal specifically for exterior surfaces such as exposed aggregate, natural stone, brick, quarry tile, terrazzo, and other concrete surfaces. Surface Shine EX is formulated with a unique solvent blend allowing fast-drying, solvent-base performance along with VOC compliance in the OTC/LADCO/MRPO regions
- 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
Surface Preparation
- Ensure the concrete surface is clean, dry, and free of all stains, oil, grease, dirt, and incompatible coatings before application.
Application Instructions
- Apply with a sprayer or roller in uniform thin films for optimal results. Only one coat is needed to seal, beautify, and protect, but for increased gloss, a second coat may be applied after the first has thoroughly dried, typically within 4 – 6 hours. Two thin coats are recommended over one heavy coat, especially on porous substrates.
Packaging
Available in 55 gallon drums and 5 gallon pails.
Shelf Life
Two years from the date of manufacture when stored in the original tightly closed containers. Prevent accumulation of water, dirt, or other contaminants.
Coverage
- Concrete: 200 – 400 sq ft/gal
- Exposed aggregate: 200 – 300 sq ft/gal
- Brick, stucco, etc.: 200 – 300 sq ft/gal
Standards
- Meets ASTM C1315-95, Type I Class A standards.
- VOC Content: Less than 350 g/L, compliant with Federal AIM rule VOC requirements and VOC standards in OTC/LADCO/MRPO regions for concrete curing and sealing compounds.
Cleaning
Clean application equipment immediately with xylene or other approved solvents.
