VOCOMP®-25 (formerly VOCOMP-25-1315)

WATER-BASE ACRYLIC CONCRETE CURE & SEAL
Seals, cures and enhances the beauty of concrete in one quick and easy application.

Technical Description
SEALTIGHT VOCOMP-25 Water-Base Acrylic Concrete Sealer is a ready-to-use Concrete Curing and Sealing Compound formulated of special acrylic polymers in a true water-base carrier. VOCOMP-25 provides improved resistance to rain, sun, freezing temperatures, most acids and industrial chemicals, petroleum, deicing salts, cleaning agents (except aromatic solvents), diluted caustics and other pollutants.

Color-wise, Vocomp-25 appears "milky-white" in the container and when first applied leaves a "bluish" cast on the concrete for easy visual coverage. VOCOMP-25 dries clear to provide a transparent sheen finish. The sheen can be controlled by the number of coats applied. VOCOMP-25 dries clear to provide a transparent sheen finish. The sheen can be controlled by the number of coats applied. VOCOMP-25 meets maximum VOC content limits of 700 g/L for Concrete Curing and Sealing Compounds as required by the U.S. EPA Architectural Coatings Rule.

A potable water approved product (in accordance with Standard ANSI/NSF 61-1997B 69RL) is available upon request. A copy of this approval is also available upon request.

Uses
VOCOMP-25 may be used wherever a medium or high sheen is desired to bring out the natural beauty of concrete without discoloring, checking, or peeling. It may be applied to simultaneously seal, cure and dustproof new and old, interior and exterior, horizontal and vertical concrete surfaces. VOCOMP-25 is ideal for curing, sealing and dustproofing driveways, sidewalks, patios, swimming pool areas and commercial and industrial floors.

Horizontal surfaces protected with VOCOMP-25 offer excellent wearing qualities for foot and vehicular traffic. If, after prolonged usage, traffic patterns appear, the surface can be washed clean and recoated to restore the original beauty. Good concrete and good concreting practices should be used as VOCOMP-25 is not a cure-all for improperly mixed or placed concrete.

Features and Benefits

Clean-Up
Application tools can be cleaned with soap and water.

APPLICATION METHOD...VOCOMP-25 is ready to use from the container. A typical commercial sprayer provides an easy, economical method of application. Use a Chapin 8001 spray tip that produces a flow of 1/10th of a gallon per minute. VOCOMP-25 should be sprayed on in a fine, fog pattern without spurts and dribbles to form a thin, continuous film. AVOID PUDDLING in low areas...if puddles occur, brush or roll them out.

DRYING TIME: VOCOMP-25 dries quickly. Drying times may be extended depending on temperature, humidity andproject conditions. Restrict foot traffic for at least 4 hours; 12 hours is preferable.

NOTE: For added protection and a greater sheen on new or old concrete, we recommend two (2) coats of VOCOMP-25 be applied at right angles.Additional coats of VOCOMP-25 may be applied after the first coat has thoroughly dried; again, this may vary depending on temperature, humidity and project conditions.

CLEANUP: While VOCOMP-25 is still wet, equipment may be cleaned with soap and water. Once dried, the material may be removed with a solvent such as Xylene or Toluene.

NOTE: Concrete floors properly sealed with VOCOMP-25 meet Section 8.9 "Adhesion of Tile Cements" of ASTM C 1315.
