Specifications
Sealing is a simple two-step process. First, wash the existing decorative concrete surface. Then, apply Renew-Crete® Sealer and you are done.
Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and dry. Remove all dirt, waxes, poorly bonded paints or coatings, efflorescence, laitance and any other foreign material. Apply test to determine bond and compatibility.
Before Renew-Crete® Sealer can be applied, the presence of moisture in the concrete substrate should be checked. If the area is contaminated with moisture, do not apply Renew-Crete® Sealer.
Application Instructions
Concrete surfaces that are hard or smooth troweled, the 1st coat should be thinned or reduced 50% with Xylene. This allows for better penetration. Apply with spray, brush, roller, or lambs wool applicator. On smooth concrete use spray, lambs wool applicator or short-nap roller. On rough concrete (broomed or textured) use spray, brush, or long-nap roller.
Caution- Rollers tend to incorporate air into the product during application especially with excessive rolling. Apply like a lacquer to form a continuous film on the surface without thick or ponded areas. If necessary to brush apply, take care to flow material on surface evenly. Over brushing can cause foaming/pinholes. A power airless sprayer will give best results for large areas. Industrial low-pressure type pump sprayer will be best for relatively small areas.
To ensure proper application with sprayers, use only clean or new industrial grade sprayer equipped with a non-adjustable fan tipped nozzle, neoprene hose and gaskets. Maintain sufficient pump pressure throughout application. Uniform surface coverage is essential, avoid puddling in low areas. If material starts to come out in a stream, versus a fog, or starts to come out in spits and sputters, the nozzle has become clogged. Stop immediately and clean nozzle with lacquer thinner before proceeding. Clean the sprayer immediately after use with a lacquer thinner flush.
