- Application Overview
- Environment
Apply when air, surface, and material temperatures are between 60°F and 90°F. The surface temperature must be at least 5° above the dew point to prevent moisture condensation.
- Substrate
The concrete must be structurally sound and free of oil, grease, and other contaminants. When applying directly to concrete, the concrete must first be prepared by shot blasting, scarifying or acid etching to create a surface profile equivalent to 40-60 grit sandpaper.
- Mixing
Part “A” should be mechanically pre-mixed for 60 seconds before adding Part “B”. After adding Parts “A” and “B” together, mix for 90 seconds. Do not hand mix.
- Application
Immediately pour activated product on the substrate and, using a squeegee, pull out the material at the desired coverage rate. Rolling Using a 3/8” nap non-shedding roller, roll the product in both directions to ensure even coverage.
- Recoating
If additional coats are desired, they must be applied within 24 hours, or the cured Sealer LS must be sanded before application.
- Recommended Uses
- Light stabilized sealer for TerraChip® System
- Light stabilized sealer for TerraQuartz® System
- Light stabilized sealer for TerraSeal applications
- Clear concrete sealer
- Maintenance
Do not wash the floor within 5 days of installation. Exposure to water before the floor is completely cured may dull the finish. Damp mop as needed with a clean mop head and clean, warm water with a mild detergent or degreaser. Rinse thoroughly to avoid leaving residue. When using a new cleaner for the first time, test clean an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with the floor.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Product Limitations
- Rising Temperatures
Concrete will outgas during periods of rising temperatures. To prevent bubbling, always apply when the application and cure temperatures will be constant or decreasing.
- Cracks
Moving cracks in the substrate are likely to transfer to the coating unless treated properly.
- Moisture
All concrete surfaces should be tested for moisture before applying a seamless coating. Water vapor transmission upwards through on-grade (or below grade) concrete slabs may result in system failure. If moisture emissions exceed 3 lbs./1000 sq. ft./24 hours per ASTM F1869, or concrete relative humidity exceeds 75% per ASTM F2170, use of TerraPrime MM may be required prior to application of the coating system.
