DESCRIPTION AND BASIC USE • MATCRETEŽ Aqua Seal™ Water-Based Sealer is a high-performance acrylic coating that provides a scuff resistant, semi-gloss finish on any porous interior or exterior masonry and concrete-type surfaces. Aqua Seal deep-penetrating formula will enhance and protect various porous surfaces; thereby making them resistant to moisture and stains. Use on colored or uncolored, stamped or exposed aggregate concrete, porous brick, natural and manufactured stone, stucco, slate, unglazed tile and flagstone.

LIMITATIONS • Aqua Seal is not recommended for concrete garage floors or other surfaces where vehicles are parked and in areas of standing water or prolonged dampness. Do not use where hydrostatic pressure is possible. Not recommended for pre-sealed or dense surfaces, such as glazed tile, marble or granite, dense brick, dense slate, or terrazzo.

STORAGE • Store in a safe place. Keep containers tightly sealed. DO NOT allow product to freeze. Material that is frozen CANNOT be used when thawed. Shelf life is approximately 1 to 2 years.

COVERAGE • Coverage requirements vary depending upon the porosity of the surface being sealed. One gallon of Aqua Seal will cover approximately 300 square feet.

PREPARATION • New concrete should be cured at least 28 days, prior to application. Surfaces must be dry, porous and free of foreign contaminants. Make certain that the bond to any previously applied stain or sealer is secure by applying sealer to a small area and check for possible lifting before proceeding. It is recommended to thoroughly remove all previously applied sealer/s. Remove all efflorescence, oil, dirt, wax, old paints, sealers, and curing compounds. Rinse thoroughly. Allow the surface to dry at least 24 hours. Soaps and detergents should never be used for cleaning. Dried residue on the surface will prevent the sealer from bonding. Acid washing is not recommended.

APPLICATION • For best results, sealer should be applied when the surface temperature is between 55°F and 80°F. Avoid using in direct sunlight. Do not apply on foggy or rainy days. Use only in well ventilated areas. After proper preparation of surfaces apply evenly using a low-pressure pump-up sprayer or a short-napped paint roller. Make certain to wipe off any excess sealer that has not penetrated; unabsorbed sealer will cause a white residue that cannot be removed to appear. Allow 2-4 hours before using the sealed surface. Prolonged periods of high humidity or cool weather will increase drying time of material.

MAINTENANCE • The sealed surface should be inspected periodically for areas of thin or traffic-worn areas. Reapply sealer as needed.
