Product Information

Full details

This SIRAMICO COATINGS Premium Concrete Sealer is for homeowners and professionals seeking to protect and beautify interior and exterior concrete surfaces. Its key benefit is providing a durable, dust-proof, and clear sheen-matt finish that resists scuffs, stains, and wear, while forming a protective barrier against moisture, oil, and chemicals. A minor caveat is that it dries to a sheen-matt finish, which may not be suitable for those seeking a high-gloss look. Key features include its water-based, low-odour formula, ease of application, and suitability for high-traffic areas like garages, basements, and patios.

FAQs

How long does it take for the sealer to dry and cure?

The sealer is typically dry to the touch within 1-2 hours. It can usually be walked on lightly after 24 hours. Full cure, achieving maximum hardness and chemical resistance, takes approximately 7 days.

Can I apply this over an existing sealer?

It's recommended to test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first. If the existing sealer is failing or unknown, it's best to remove it completely before applying the SIRAMICO COATINGS sealer.

What is the coverage rate of a 5-litre container?

Coverage varies depending on the porosity and surface texture of the concrete. Typically, a 5-litre container can cover between 25-50 square meters (approximately 270-540 square feet) per coat. Always refer to the product's specific coverage recommendations.

Do I need special equipment to apply this sealer?

No, basic application tools like a high-quality solvent-resistant roller, brush, or a low-pressure garden sprayer are sufficient. Ensure tools are clean before and after use.

Can I paint or apply other finishes over the sealer?

It is generally not recommended to apply standard paints or finishes over this sealer once fully cured, as adhesion may be compromised. If you intend to paint, consult specific paint instructions for compatibility with sealed concrete.

How do I clean up tools after use?

Since this is a water-based sealer, tools can be cleaned with soap and water immediately after use while the product is still wet.

Will this sealer change the color of my concrete?

The sealer is designed to be clear and provides a sheen-matt finish. It may slightly darken the concrete, giving it a 'wetted' look, but it does not add color. The exact appearance can vary slightly based on the concrete's original color and porosity.

Troubleshooting

Sealer appears cloudy or milky after drying.

This can be caused by applying the sealer too thickly, in humid conditions, or if moisture gets trapped underneath. Ensure proper ventilation and application in suitable temperatures. If widespread, it may require removal and reapplication.

Uneven finish or lap marks.

This typically occurs due to inconsistent application or working in sections. Ensure even coats, maintain a wet edge, and apply consistently. For minor marks, light sanding might help, but reapplication may be necessary for severe issues.

Poor adhesion or peeling.

The concrete surface was likely not properly prepared or was damp during application. Remove the failing sealer, thoroughly clean and dry the concrete, and reapply according to instructions.

Surface remains tacky after application.

This can happen if the sealer was applied too thickly or if curing conditions are unfavorable (e.g., very high humidity, low temperatures). Ensure proper drying and curing times are met. Try applying a light second coat of the sealer over the tacky areas to help set it, or if severe, consider removal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the concrete surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants like oil, grease, paint, or existing sealers. For best results, pressure wash and allow the concrete to cure fully (typically 28 days for new concrete). Test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
  2. Application Conditions: Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F). Avoid applying in direct sunlight or when rain is expected within 24 hours.
  3. Application Method: Use a high-quality solvent-resistant roller, brush, or a low-pressure sprayer. Apply in thin, even coats. Avoid puddling.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use on interior and exterior concrete surfaces, including driveways, patios, walkways, garage floors, basements, and concrete walls.
  • Test compatibility with existing coatings or stains on a small, hidden area first.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For routine cleaning, use water and a mild detergent with a soft brush or mop. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Maintenance: Reapply the sealer every 2-5 years, depending on traffic and exposure, after cleaning the surface.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use acidic or abrasive cleaners, as they can degrade the sealer.
