Application

METHOD

Apply with spray, brush, long-nap roller or lambs wool applicator. Ordinary garden-type sprayers with neoprene hoses are recommended for best results. Spray uniformly to form a continuous film.

 

CURING NEWLY PLACED CONCRETE

Application should he made immediately after finishing, as soon as bleed water has disappeared and slab can support the weight of an applicator.

SEALING NEW CONCRETE

For an excellent sealer and added protection to concrete cured with product, apply a second coat after 28 days of curing. If not previously applied when curing concrete, apply two coats, second coat four hours after first coat. Area to be sealed must be cleaned and free of all foreign matter such as dirt, rubber marks, paint, etc. Apply at 300-400 sq. ft./gal. (7.4-9.8 sq. m/L), to dry surface.

DUSTPROOFING AND SEALING AGED CONCRETE

Defective mortar, open joints and spalling should be repaired. Surface must be structurally sound and free of foreign matter such as grease, oil, dirt and incompatible sealers and coatings. UNITEX CITRI-CLEAN should be used as a degreaser and to remove rubber tire marks, followed by a thorough rinse with clean water. Apply to dry surface at 300-400 sq. ft./gal. (7.4-9.8 sq. m/L, depending upon the porosity. Second coat is necessary for maximum protection. Apply after 4 hrs. drying time at 300-600 sq. ft. per gal. (7.4-14.7 sq. m. per L).

 

Drying Time

 

DRYING TIME:

(80°F/27°C):

Dry to touch:

30 min.

Light foot traffic:

4 hrs.

Normal traffic:

Overnight

Maximum hardness:

7 days

 

Limitations

Test panel should be made prior to application on exposed aggregate, concrete block, stone, precast, colored concrete, etc. Test application should be left for the time specified by the manufacturer. This procedure is recommended due to the thousands of different native stones.

Protect from freezing.

Do not apply if concrete is below 40°F/4°C.

Colored concrete: Best results are obtained by waiting a minimum of 72 hrs. prior to application. Do no over-apply. Test samples are recommended.

Not for continual immersion in water or around pools or fountains.

May not provide bond for cementitious or other adhesives. Tests should be conducted to determine bondability with new products.

Do not dilute or alter the product in any way.

Use in well ventilated areas.

Cleanup

While material is wet, equipment can be cleaned with soap and water; once dry, material can be removed with CITRI-CLEAN.

 

Care of Sprayer

To release air pressure from spray can at night, turn can upside down and open valve. When not in use, keep hose and nozzle elevated to drain away from tip. Prior to drying, equipment can be cleaned with soap and water; once dry, material can be removed with CITRI-CLEAN

 

Cautions

May not provide bond for cementitious or other adhesives. Tests should be conducted to determine bondability with new products.

Do not dilute or alter the product in any way.

Use only in well ventilated areas.
