Application directions:

Warehouses
Garages

Domestic concrete floor areas

BEFORE STARTING

For new concrete, ensure the concrete has cured for at least 21 days for best results. Ensure that all traces of oil, dust or other contaminants have been removed, as this may affect adhesion.
On old concrete, remove all contaminants by using chemicals in combination with high pressure washing. Once surface is clean allow the surface to ivey before applying

The level of cleaning will determine the final appearance that will be achieved.

APPLICATION METHOD AND EQUIPMENT

Apply via spray pack (weed spray type), trigger spray, brush or roller at the typical coverage rate (see technical information).
For new or dense concrete it may be necessary to dilute the ACRI-SEAL at a ratio of 1:1 with water and apply this diluted mixture.
If the first coat leaves a well sealed surface; and to prevent a high gloss finish (if you do not want a high gloss) then dilute the second coat 1:1 with water as well, and apply at the typical coverage rate.
If you require a high gloss finish then apply the second coat without any dilution.
For aged, worn or crumbling concrete use this product as received without diluting.

PRECAUTIONS

Do not apply to wet concrete or surfaces that have a moisture content of more than 15%.

Refrain from applying if it is going to rain on the surface within 48 hours or if surface temperature is below 9 C or the air humidity is above 80%. Use only water to thin or dilute. Store product container in a cool area out of direct sunlight with lid firmly affixed.

Can this product be used as a same day sealer for driveways and concrete?

No, we do not recommend this as a same day sealer however some of our customers do use this as a same day sealer. We recommend using a solvant based product such as Gloss Seal Easy Coat as a same day sealer as solvants dry faster.

If things go wrong is there a sealer stripper we can use?

Yes, use AC800 which is “Universal Paint Stripper & Graffiti Remover” to efficiently strip water based acrylics such as Acri-seal from most surfaces.

Will the product change the colour of my liquid limestone

Yes, however not as much as a solvent acrylic.

Agrispose – Concrete Exposed

Able Westchem — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 12:41:55 +0000

AGRISPOSE is a non hazardous concrete retarding concentrate used to produce exposed aggregate finish on freshly poured concrete.

Use Recommendations

SPRAYING ON: Use a garden sprayer to evenly apply the product onto freshly laid concrete. Apply Agrispose as soon the Bleeding has finished but before the concrete has set. Please note that the “bleed water” should be removed prior to applying Agrispose to prevent dilution of the product. Care must also be taken to protect the freshly treated surface from direct sunlight, warm winds or conditions that can cause the product to dry out.

REMOVING: Once the product has been applied, allow the concrete slab to partially cure for 2 to 12 hours (curing times vary greatly) and then broom and wash off top layer of concrete paste and Agrispose to expose the underlying aggregate. Care must be taken to ensure that Agrispose paste is removed within 2 -12 hours as the Agrispose will only retard the setting of the concrete for up to 24 hours and the concrete will set as normal to full strength otherwise.
