TIAH® (formerly TIAH-1315)

NON-YELLOWING ACRYLIC CONCRETE SEALER
Enhances the beauty of most cementitious materials by providing improved resistance to weather, stains and abrasion, combined with dustproof protection.

SEALTIGHT TIAH Acrylic Concrete Sealer is a transparent, non-yellowing acrylic
co-polymer solution designed to seal and enhance the beauty of most cementitious materials.

Technical Description
SEALTIGHT TIAH Acrylic Concrete Sealer is an acrylic co-polymer solution that dries to a transparent film which improves abrasion resistance of the concrete. TIAH will not after-yellow or change the natural color of concrete. It is specially formulated to enhance the beauty of most cementitious materials. TIAH provides improved weather and stain resistance combined with a dustproof sealer.

TIAH 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.

Uses
SEALTIGHT TIAH Acrylic Concrete Sealer is used on driveways, patios, industrial floors, loading docks, swimming pool areas and exposed aggregate as well as any exterior surface where protection and sealing of concrete is desired (dries to a low medium sheen).

TIAH brings out the beauty of concrete, offering improved resistance to rain, sun, freezing temperatures, stains, most acids and industrial chemicals, oil, grease, de-icing salts, cleaning agents (except aromatic solvents) and caustics, as well as airborne soot, dust and other pollutants.

Features and Benefits

Application Tools

Hand Sprayer

Application
SURFACE PREPARATION: Concrete must be clean and dry prior to application. Oil stains, grease, etc. must be removed. CAUTION: If a liquid membrane curing compound (other than CS-309) has been used, DO NOT APPLY TIAH until all traces of the compound have completely dissipated and the surface is clean and dry. We recommend SEALTIGHT ULTRITE DEGREASER for cleaning.

APPLICATION METHOD...NEW CONCRETE...For ultimate protection, use the SEALTIGHT complete cure and seal system. First, apply a uniform film of SEALTIGHT CS-309 Acrylic Curing and Sealing Compound as soon as possible after the surface water has disappeared and the concrete surface will not be marred by walking workmen. (After the first coat of CS-309 has thoroughly dried, then apply TIAH using a manual sprayer or short-nap roller.) OLD CONCRETE...Surface must be clean and dry before applying TIAH. Old stains not removed from the surface will be visible after the film dries. Do not apply TIAH if the temperature of the concrete is below 40ºF (4ºC).

SEALTIGHT TIAH 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).

SEALTIGHT TIAH should not be applied to concrete exposed to excessive moisture. Entrapped moisture may cause the film to peel, and/or turn white (blush).

DRYING TIME...TIAH dries quickly on new concrete...drying times may be extended on previously cured new concrete, and on old concrete. Restrict foot traffic for at least four hours...12 hours is preferable.

NOTE...For added protection and a greater sheen on the concrete, multiple coats of TIAH may be applied after the first coat of CS-309 has thoroughly dried. Naturally, this may vary depending on temperature, humidity, and project conditions.

CLEAN UP...Application equipment should be cleaned promptly after us with Xylene or Toluene.

Precautions
TIAH IS FOR EXTERIOR APPLICATION ONLY.

Do not apply TIAH if the temperature of the concrete is below 40ºF (4ºC). TIAH may also be applied to colored concrete, but mottling my occur. Do not paint or apply resilient flooring over TIAH without first checking the specifications and securing the approval of the paint or resilient flooring manufacturer. Do not use on non-porous surfaces or surfaces which are not uniform in porosity, i.e. brick, stone, masonry, etc. Do not use TIAH as a waterproofing sealer on masonry surfaces. The specifier and user shall determine suitability of product for specific applications and assume all responsibilities in connection therewith.

NOTE: Current use of increased amounts of various fillers, extenders or additives in the concrete mix can result in the concrete mass and finished surface having a higher than normal porosity and some very porous hot-spots. Coverage ratios must be adjusted to compensate for the resulting penetration and the additional coats required to provide proper surface treatment. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for complete health and safety information.

Health Hazards
Avoid direct contact with this product, as it may cause irritation of the skin and/or eyes. Inhalation of vapors may result in transient central nervous system depression. TIAH is combustible (flash point 105ºF).

TIAH should not be utilized in locations where food items are present.
