Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Uses
- To cure fresh exterior concrete where superior curing efficiency and non-yellowing performance are required
- Seal, harden, and dustproof existing concrete, particularly architectural or residential concrete exposed to freeze thaw or UV light
- Enhance color and provide uniform appearance of dry shake hardened floors and stamped concrete
- Directions
Mixing: Do not dilute. Certi-Vex AC1315 Super Seal is packaged ready to use. Gently stir or agitate prior to use.
Surface Preparation: If using to cure fresh concrete, apply within two hours of bleed water dissipation when application will not mar the surface.
If applying as a sealer for older concrete, clean thoroughly with high-pressure water and allow the concrete to thor-oughly dry. Surface must be clean and free from dirt, dust, laitance, oil, grease, paints, curing agents, tilt up bond breakers, or other contaminants that would prevent proper adhesion. Joints to receive joint sealant should be masked or taped off prior to application.
Application: Apply uniformly leaving no pinholes or gaps. Do not allow the material to puddle.
Spray Apply: Use a low pressure, solvent resistant, air-less sprayer equipped with a fan nozzle orifice of 0.030 to 0.035” at 1 gpm or a solvent resistant hand pressurized sprayer with a ‘Cats Eye’ nozzle (minimum orifice of 0.032”). The optimum spray pattern is an 8 to 12 inch fan. Hold sprayer tip 8 to 12 inches from the surface of the concrete.
Roller Apply: Use a short nap (1/4” max) solvent re-sistant roller. An optional second coat may be applied to a tack free surface at right angles to the first. Coating breathability will be reduced as film thickness increases. Thinner coats have improved esthetic qualities.- Cleanup
Clean tools immediately after use with Polyseal Solvent or xylene.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Limitations
- For outdoor use only.
- Do not apply to joints or channels scheduled to receive elastomeric caulks.
- Do not use on surfaces to receive concrete overlays or toppings. Always test for compatibility and adhesion.
- Do not use as a bond breaker for tilt wall construction or on surfaces requiring rubbing.
- Do not apply to floors subjected to spills of gasoline or other strong organic solvents such as xylene, toluene, or lacquer thinner. Solvent, gasoline, hydraulic fluids, peanut oil, and cooking oils must be cleaned quickly to prevent softening of the membrane.
- Do not apply in the presence of foodstuffs. USDA ap-proval pertains to fully cured material.
- Over application or applying in high temperatures may result in the formation of bubbles.
- Do not use if ambient or substrate temperature is be-low 40°F (4°C). For best results condition material to a minimum of 50°F (10°C) prior to application.
- Quality curing or sealing compounds and floor treat-ments may darken or highlight the subtle color varia-tions naturally present in concrete. When the differ-ence in shading is objectionable consult ChemMasters Technical Department prior to concrete placement.
