CCS HARDSEAL MATT ACRYLIC SEALER
Information & Data Sheet
Product Name: CCS Hardseal Matt
Product Description: CCS Hardseal Matt is a ready to use, solvent based, premium strength acrylic sealer, formulated to protect and enhance the surface of decorative concrete from the effects of oil, grease, dirt and water.
The solution produces a hard film of limited flexibility with resistance to tyre marking and sunlight.
Recommended Uses: CCS Hardseal Matt is designed for application to pattern, stencil pave and plain concrete finishes. It can also be applied to exposed aggregate finishes and concrete pavers for Matt finish.
Hardseal Features: 1. Resistant to Strong Sunlight
CCS Hardseal Matt includes an Ultra Violet Light Absorber to protect it and the coloured surface below it from the harsh effects of sunlight.
2. Hard Film
A particularly tough resin is used in CCS Hardseal Matt to provide resistance to scratching and the abrasive effects of car tyres.
3. Tyre Mark Resistant
The resin used in CCS Hardseal Matt provides resistance to rubber migration that occurs when vehicles with hot tyres are parked on the coated surface.
Packaging: 20 litre.
Coverage: Where two coats are applied, coverage is typically 3-4m² per litre. Porosity of surface will impact on this figure.
Application Guidelines: Read Safety Directions first (see label on drum)
1. Ensure concrete surface is clean and dry. Application of sealer to moist concrete may cause sealer to turn a white colour.
2. Under hot weather conditions, sealer should be applied during mid-morning (after concrete has dried) or late afternoon. Under cool weather conditions, apply sealer during the warmer parts of the day.
3. Two coats of sealer should be applied to the concrete. For best results the first coat of the sealer should be diluted with CCS Solvent. Mix CCS Solvent with the sealer in the ratio 1 part Solvent to 5 part Sealer.
4. To apply, use a solvent resistant broom with a quality bristle brush head, roller or airless sprayer. Spread sealer over surface in an even and systematic way so that the concrete is completely covered with a thin layer of sealer. If “pooling” occurs, immediately spread the accumulated sealer.
5. When the first coat has dried, apply a second coat in the same manner (as per Guideline 4).
Curing Time: Curing time depends on the temperature. The sealer is usually touch dry in 20 minutes at 25°C. It is important to allow a minimum of 1 hour between coats. The concrete can usually be walked on after 24 hours. Allow 7 days before parking on the coating.
Clean Up: Wash all equipment thoroughly in CCS Solvent and allow to dry.
Coating Lifespan: The expected lifespan of the coating will be affected by the location, weathering and traffic the concrete is subjected to. In exposed, heavy traffic areas, recoating may be necessary after 12 to 18 months. In light use areas, the coating will last for several years in as new condition.
One major benefit of CCS Hardseal Matt is the ease of recoating. A simple clean to remove built up dirt and the removal of any loose sealer, followed by a solvent wipe, will prepare the pattern concrete for recoating. The new coating is then applied directly over the old coating. No stripping is necessary (unlike a polyurethane sealer), meaning a driveway can be put back into service much quicker.
Anti Slip Treatment: To aid traction, mix a satchel of CCS Sealer Grip (regular or coarse) additive into sealer, prior to application of final coat.
