Sealers
WHY USE A SEALER?
Protecting cement walls with a good quality Cemcrete sealer is crucial and not only makes the surface easier to clean, but it also offers other benefits as well, such as enriching the colour intensity of the overlay, blocking the penetration of stains, and improving water repellency and abrasion resistance.
COLOUR HARDENER SEALER – Solvent-based acrylic sealer
| Finish | Gloss or matt finish. |
| Packaging | 1, 5 & 25 litre steel drums |
| Coverage | Approximately 4-8m² per litre per coat. Coverage depends on the porosity of the substrate. The first coat will penetrate and then the subsequent coats should require less sealer |
| Curing | Initial set – 2.3 hours depending on the weather Final cure – 7 days |
CRETESEAL WATER-BASED – Polyurethane acrylic water-based sealer
| Finish | Satin sheen |
| Packaging | 1 & 5 litre containers |
| Coverage | Approximately 8-10m²/L for the first coat and 10-12m²/L for subsequent coats Although the spreading rate will vary with porosity and type of substrate |
| Curing | Initial set – 6-8 hours Final cure – 7-10 days |
CRETESEAL SOLVENT-BASED – Polyurethane solvent-based sealer
| Finish | Gloss |
| Packaging | 1 & 5 litre containers |
| Coverage | For uncoated new surfaces work on 10-12m²/L for the first coat and 12-14m²/L for subsequent coats Although the spreading rate will vary with porosity and type of substrate |
| Curing | Initial set – 12 hours Final cure – 7-10 days |
CONCRETE SEALER – Non-yellowing clear polymer sealer
| Finish | Gloss or Super Matt |
| Packaging | 5 & 25 litre drums |
| Coverage | Approximately 5-6m² per litre per coat |
| Curing | Initial set – 4 hours Final cure – 3 days |
SILICONSEAL – Penetrative sealer (Wet-on-wet application)
| Finish | No colour or sheen effect on surface |
| Packaging | 5 & 25 litre drums |
| Coverage | Face bricks 6m²/litre Porous bricks 3m²/litre Concrete 4m²/litre |
| Curing | Initial set – Solvents evaporate after 2 days plus Final cure – 22 days |
Sealers | Cemcrete | Transparent Protective Coatings
Cemcrete Sealers are transparent protective coatings. Protecting cement floors and walls with a good quality Cemcrete sealer is crucial and not only makes the surface easier to clean, but it also offers other benefits as well, such as enriching the colour intensity of the overlay, blocking the penetration of stains, and improving water repellency and abrasion resistance.
Colour Hardener Sealer Datasheet
A non-yellowing clear, thermoplastic acrylic lacquer-based resin which displays excellent UV stability. Has very fast solvent release, i.e. drying properties. The sealer greatly enhances the colour and protects the surface from the ingress of dirt and grease.
