This clear, versatile, controlled-penetration, water-repelling sealer provides an invisible barrier against water, and resists oils, grease and similar liquids. It is fast drying, has excellent adhesion and is easy to apply. Also helps to harden, dust-proof and control efflorescence in masonry surfaces. May be used on painted surfaces and may be painted over when dry. Dries clear and does not discolor.
| Use On | Porous concrete, stucco, brick, block, terrazzo and unglazed tile. Can also be used to add water repellency to exterior vertical wood siding when applied over Safecoat DuroTone. |
|---|---|
| Limitations | Safecoat paints are made without formaldehyde preservatives. Do not contaminate. Store in airtight containers. Do not use when indoor temperature is below 55 degrees F. Do not freeze. Thick application, high humidity or conditions other than normal will cause Safecoat to dry and cure more slowly. |
| Surface Preparation | Clean surfaces of dirt, grease, mildew and oil. Surface should be completely dry before application. Always spot test for adhesion over prior coatings. |
| Application | Before using, stir Safecoat Water Shield well, then apply as is. Apply with a brush, pad or airless sprayer. Spraying, reduce with up to 1/2 pint of water per gallon. Use a painter’s mask when spraying. (Note: highpile heights will add additional texture.) Airless sprayers should have a 17/1000 to 21/1000 tip (reversible type is best). Only a 30 mesh high pressure filter should be used. Use a painter’s mask when spraying.
For full coverage application, overlap preceding application with 1/4 to 1/2 the fan width at a distance of 18” from surface. |
| Clean-up | Clean tools and equipment while they are still wet with a warm soapy water solution. |
| Drying Time | Re-coatable after 2 hours in normal conditions. Normal conditions include a dry surface, access to fresh air flow, moderate humidity, and temperatures above 55 degrees F |
| Health Precautions | As with all coatings and sealers, keep container tightly closed and out of the reach of children. Do not take internally. Keep from freezing. Always use adequate ventilation |
