Blackfriar Professional Water Based Floor Sealer is a clear, water-based, low-odour sealer. Ideal for binding, stabilising and sealing friable (loose) and porous surfaces prior to finishing with water-based coatings.
Preparation
Ensure the surface to be painted is sound, clean, dry and free from grease or any substance liable to give adhesion problems. Scrape off any old or flaking paint until you have a firm surface. Special attention should be given to areas under cars to ensure all oil, grease, dirt and road salt is removed. New concrete must be left for at least 6 months before applying Blackfriar Professional Water Based Floor Sealer.
Application
Stir thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller working the paint in any surface imperfections. Blackfriar Professional Water Based Floor Sealer is not suitable for use over non porous substrates like PVC, thermoplastic tiles, quarry tiles, asphalt floors or granolithic concrete.
Do not apply it on concrete surfaces treated with alkali containing liquids, areas subjected to rising damp or areas treated with PVA bonding solutions. Do not apply in cold (below 10°C), damp or humid conditions. If concrete floors are very smooth then pre-treat with Blackfriar Professional Acid Etch followed after thorough rinsing by Blackfriar Professional Water Based Floor Sealer.
Drying Time
2-4hrs @20°C. Allow to dry for a minimum of 4hrs @20°C between coats. Full cure is achieved in 3-5 days @20°C.
Clean Up
Remove as much product from application equipment as possible before washing with water. Do not empty into drains or watercourses. Some local authorities have special facilities for the disposal of waste coatings.
