Application

The surface to be treated should be clean and free of all contaminants. The surface can be damp or wet, however SilaSeal Enhance should not be applied to a surface that has pools of water. The pools should be removed using a broom or cloth prior to application.
Do not apply SilaSeal Enhance if rain is expected within 24 hours of application.
Do not apply if extreme weather conditions are expected.
Do not apply if surface temperatures are above 30 degC. If necessary, cool the surface with water prior to application.
SilaSeal Enhance is ready to apply and should be mixed well before use. A test prior to application must be performed to assess the suitability of the product. SilaSeal Enhance may be applied using a saturated brush, roller, paint pad or a low-pressure hand sprayer. The surface should be uniformly applied to saturation point. Do not allow pooling of sealer. Pools can be spread out using a soft bristled broom. Excess sealer must be removed before drying. If applied to smooth or non textured surfaces, the surface must be wiped or buffed dry to remove excess.
Additional coats of SilaSeal Enhance may be applied to achieve the desired effect. For recoat, the sealer can be applied as per the first coat. Ensure uniform coverage and removal of excess sealer before drying. Any overspray on adjacent surfaces such as glass, metal or painted surfaces should be wiped clean with a damp rag before the sealer dries.
Full curing may take up to 3 days.
Avoid traffic for at least 24 hours.
Equipment clean up can be performed with water.
