- Concrete slabs
- Decks
- Walls
- Abutments
- Concrete barriers and retaining walls
- Installation
- CIPADAM®S-15 contains blended solvents and should be handled accordingly
- Do not use near fire or extreme heat and provide good ventilation to avoid build up of solvent fumes
- Applicators should wear approved NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators
- When applying to exterior of occupied buildings, all exterior air conditioning vents should be covered during application and air handling equipment should be turned off during application to avoid solvent odors within the building
- Clothing which may become contaminated with CIPADAM® S-15 should be changed as quickly as possible
- Preparatory Work
- A test application is necessary on each surface and/or masonry material to be treated to ensure compatibility and desired results
- Test areas are also useful in determining final application rate and procedures
- Tests should be applied using the same equipment as for the job application
- Test areas should be inspected by the engineer throughout the job application
- Adjoining glass, metal and painted surfaces should be protected from over spray and splash of CIPADAM® S- 15
- Splashes should be removed using mineral spirits before the solution has dried on the surface
- All caulking, patching and joint sealants should be installed prior to application of CIPADAM® S-15
- The concrete surface should be clean, free of dust, surface dirt and contaminants
- New concrete should be thoroughly cured before application of CIPADAM® S-15
- New concrete normally does not require etching, however slick trowel finished concrete that has been contaminated with surface dirt, tire marks, etc. during construction may require thorough cleaning and a mild etch for best performance of the sealer
- Older concrete surfaces should be power washed with high pressure and appropriate cleaners to assure removal of surface dirt, oil and contaminants
- Surfaces to be treated may be damp, but should be absorbent to assure good penetration of CIPADAM® S-15
- If a chemical curing agent is to be used during installation of new concrete, a test area is recommended prior to general application to assure compatibility. It is impossible to assure compatibility with all products
- Placing
- CIPADAM® S-15 should be applied as packaged.Do not dilute or alter material
- Preferred method of application is with a low pressure (20 psi) airless sprayer
- Sprayer should be fitted with a solvent resistant hose and gasket
- Apply sufficient material to thoroughly saturate the surface making sure to brush out excess material that does not penetrate
- When applying to flat surfaces, CIPADAM® S-15 should be applied in a single saturating application with sufficient material applied so that the surface remains wet for a few minutes before penetration into the concrete
- Surface residues, pools and puddles should be broomed out thoroughly until they completely penetrate the surface
- CIPADECK® Paver and Concrete Sealer or CIPADECK® Cure & Seal WB should be applied to a dry surface which is normally 24 hours after the application of CIPADAM® S-15
- Limitations
- Do not apply at temperatures below 4.5°C (40°F) CIPADECK® Cure & Seal WB 10°C (50°F)
- After applying CIPADAM® S-15, protect from rain, foot traffic and sun for 24 hours
- After application of CIPADECK® Paver and Concrete Sealer or CIPADECK® Cure & Seal WB wait 24 hours before opening to traffic
