Surface Preparation
- New concrete must be properly cured 28 days.
- The concrete substrate must be clean and free of oil, grease, dirt, wax, curing compounds, efflorescence, paints, previous sealers and stains, adhesives and other contaminants.
- Power wash, clean, etch or mechanically scarify as necessary to achieve the desired surface condition.
- The surface-zone moisture content of the concrete should not exceed 4% wt.
- Surface and air temperatures must be at least 45°F during application. Surface and air temperatures should not exceed 80°F. Do not apply when temperatures are expected to fall below 32°F within 8 hours or when rain is expected within 12 hours following application.
- Protect all surfaces not set for treatment.
Application
- Always test a small area before application to ensure desired performance, aesthetics, coverage rates and to verify application technique. Let test area dry thoroughly, 5-7 days, before inspection.
- OPTIONAL : If the concrete is extremely porous or old the Pro-Fusion 1505 Primer is recommended. Apply with a high quality roller. Wait 24 hours before applying the Pro-Fusion 1505 Solid Color.
- Apply the Pro-Fusion 1505 Solid Color with a high quality roller. Wait 24 hours before applying the optional Pro-Fusion 1505 Enhancer or the Cryli-Tek 5500 sealer.
- OPTIONAL : To highlight grooves and patters, especially on stamped or decorative concrete the Pro-Fusion 1505 Enhancer may be used. Wait 24 hours before applying the Cryli-Tek 5500 sealer
Sealing
- The Cryli-Tek 5500 sealer is required after staining to ensure long lasting protection and enhanced color of the final project. Allow the stain to cure for at least 24 hours before sealing.
Coverage
Up to 200 square feet per gallon.
Dry Time
Typical drying time is 4-6 hours at 70°F and 50% relative humidity. Cooler temperatures or higher relative humidity can extend the drying time. Treated surfaces will be ready for pedestrian and vehicle traffic within 24 hours.
Clean Up
Clean equipment and tools with soap and water. Unused or old material may be disposed of in a waste disposal site in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
Precautions/Safety
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing, do not take internally. Use appropriate safety equipment during application and handling. Please refer to the safety data sheet (SDS) for additional precautionary instructions before use.
Note
Color variations will occur from slab to slab and testing is recommended before the final application.
