CPR 905 – Clear Concrete Sealer & Surface Hardener

Description

Clear Concrete Sealer & Surface Hardener

CPR 905 – Clear Concrete Sealer & Surface Hardener is a single pack, solvent-borne, clear surface sealer for concrete. When applied to freshly placed concrete the Sealer functions as a curing membrane, reducing any tendency towards drying shrinkage cracks. At the same time the surface becomes sealed against the ingress of oils and many aqueous chemicals, and a harder wearing coating is produced.

When applied to old concrete, CPR 905 penetrates into the pore structure, sealing and dust proofing the surface. Having excellent adhesion to concrete, CPR 905 allows the application of  subsequent coating treatments, thereby minimising surface preparation requirements.

Typical Properties

• Easily applied by brush, roller or spray
• High curing efficiency (>75%)
• Good chemical and abrasion resistance
• Seals and dust proofs the surface
• Compatible with most subsequent finishes
• Provides easily cleanable surface
• Internal and external use
• Resistant to ultra violet radiation
• Single pack – ready to use

Directions for Use

Surface Preparation

• Old concrete shall be sound and free from oil, grease, laitance and other contaminants.
• Previously applied paint or curing membrane must be removed.
• Wash the floor with a detergent solution followed by a clean water wash, and then allow to dry prior to sealer application.
• New concrete – CPR 905 – Clear Concrete Sealer & Surface Hardener may be applied 15 minutes after the final power float or brush finish.

Application

• Old concrete – Apply a coat of CPR 905 – Clear Concrete Sealer & Surface Hardener by brush, roller, squeegee or spray at a nominal rate of 8-9m²/litre.
• Avoid the formation of puddles of excess material.
• After a minimum period of 16 hours a second coat shall be applied at a rate of 11-12m²/litre NOTE: On very porous substrates a third coat may be necessary
• New concrete – Apply CPR 905 – Clear Concrete Sealer & Surface Hardener by spray at a nominal rate of 5m²/litre.
• Ensure that the material is applied evenly and avoid the formation of puddles of excess material on the surface.
• In hot and/or windy conditions, a second coat of CPR 905 should be applied the following day at a nominal rate of 8-10m²/litre

Equipment Cleaning

• Clean equipment with CPR 200 Tool Clean Solvent prior to curing of the product.

Curing

• CPR 905 – Clear Concrete Sealer & Surface Hardener will be tack free in 2-4 hours and hard dry after 16-24 hours in conditions of good ventilation.

Storage and Shelf Life

• Store in dry conditions, out of direct sunlight, at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C.
• CPR 905 has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, unopened containers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

Packaging

• CPR 905 – Clear Concrete Sealer & Surface Hardener is supplied in 25L packs

Coverage

• Coverage is very much dependent on the porosity of the substrate.
• New concrete – Typical application rate is 5m²/l (one coat): a second coat is recommended under fast drying ambient conditions.
• Old concrete – For smooth, power floated concrete, the typical application rate is: 8-9m²/l (1st coat) 11-12m²/l (2nd coat) i.e. overall rate = 4.6-5.1m²/l(two coats)
• If a slip resistant finish is required, incorporate CPR suitable aggregate and apply only 1 coat of CPR 905 – Clear Concrete Sealer & Surface Hardener at a rate of 5m²/litre.
• Textured and tamped finishes reduce the coverage rate achieved.
• It is strongly recommended that a small test application be carried out to determine the precise coverage rate for each specific job, prior to any large scale application being started.
