SEALTIGHT SEAL CURE™
CS-309-25
STYRENE-ACRYLIC CURING AND SEALING
COMPOUND
Description
SEALTIGHT SEAL CURE-309-25 is a clear,
ready-to-use formula of styrene-acrylic polymers and quick evaporating solvents,
which cures, seals, hardens and dustproofs freshly placed concrete surfaces,
newly cured bare concrete and improves the wearability of aged concrete
surfaces. SEAL CURE-309-25 meets maximum VOC content limit of 700 g/L for
Concrete Curing and Sealing Compounds as required by the U.S. EPA Architectural
Coatings Rule.
When properly applied, SEAL CURE-309-25 provides an
impermeable seal for efficient moisture retention, producing harder denser
concrete. It also provides a durable, long-lasting moisture impermeable finish
that improves resistance to chemicals, oil, grease, de-icing salts and abrasion.
The use of SEAL CURE-309-25 will help minimize hair checking as well as
premature cracking, dusting, spalling and other common defects that result when
the concrete is not properly cured, or the workmanship, air entrainment and
water/cement ratios vary. SEAL CURE-309-25 is easy and economical to use and
apply. It dries quickly to protect new exterior concrete surfaces during
construction. When used on existing concrete surfaces, SEAL CURE-309-25 restores
the concrete like new. A properly prepared and cleaned concrete surface (in
accordance with good concrete maintenance practices) will appear newer &
brighter and is easier to clean and maintain.
Uses
SEALTIGHT SEAL CURE-309-25 may be used on
freshly placed and finished exterior concrete surfaces, aged concrete surfaces,
exposed aggregate, brick floors, terrazzo, concrete walls and horizontal
surfaces. It is ideal for use on industrial & commercial concrete surfaces,
sidewalks, parking decks, driveways, etc., or any place a medium-sheen finish is
desired. If a higher-sheen finish is desired, a second coat may be applied. SEAL
CURE-309-25 may discolor. We recommend that when a completely non-yellowing cure
& seal is required, use SEALTIGHT CS-309-25 Non-Yellowing Curing &
Sealing Compound. SEAL CURE-309-25 can be applied to colored concrete, but
mottling may occur.

Application
SURFACE PREPARATION...Old Concrete:
Concrete surfaces must be clean and dry, with all stains, oil, grease, dust and
dirt removed prior to application. New Concrete: SEAL CURE-309-25 should
be applied when the surface water has completely disappeared and the concrete
surface will not be marred by walking workmen.
APPLICATION METHOD...Use a sprayer or short nap roller to apply a uniform, even
film. Avoid puddling in low areas. Standard garden-type sprayers, equipped with
a neoprene hose and gaskets are recommended for best results.
SEAL CURE-309-25 should not be applied during high
temperature conditions in direct sunlight. These conditions cause rapid
evaporation, which does not allow the film to form properly. Under these
conditions, the film may peel, bubble and/or turn white (blush).
SEAL CURE-309-25 should not be applied to concrete exposed
to excessive moisture. Entrapped moisture in a solvent based sealer may cause
the film to peel and/or turn white (blush).
NOTE...For added protection and a greater sheen on new or
old concrete, we recommend (2) coats of SEAL CURE-309-25 be applied at right
angles. Additional coats of SEAL CURE-309-25 may be applied after the first coat
has thoroughly dried; naturally, this may vary depending on temperature,
humidity and project conditions.
DRYING TIME...SEAL CURE-309-25 dries quickly. Drying times
may be extended; again, depending on temperature, humidity and project
conditions. Restrict foot traffic for at least 4 hours…twelve (12) hours is
preferable

Clean-Up
Application equipment should be cleaned promptly after use with Xylene or
Toluene.
Precautions
DO NOT DILUTE. SEAL CURE-309-25 IS FOR
EXTERIOR APPLICATION ONLY. Do not apply SEAL CURE-309-25 if the temperature of
the concrete is below 40°F (4°C). Do not paint or apply resilient flooring
over SEAL CURE 309-25 without first checking the specifications and securing the
approval of the paint or resilient flooring manufacturer. SEAL CURE-309-25 may
be used on colored concrete, but mottling may occur. Do not use on non-porous
surfaces or surfaces which are not uniform in porosity, i.e. brick, stone,
masonry, etc. Concrete containing calcium chloride will remain dark longer when
treated with SEAL CURE-309-25. The specifier and user shall determine the
suitability of product for specific applications and assume all responsibility
in connection therewith.
