Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Application Method
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Used in
- Parking garages
- Building envelopes
- Ramps and other concrete and masonry structures
- Surface Preparation
- Caulking and patching materials must be fully cured before applying CIPADAM® S-40
- All substrates must be properly cleaned and free of dust and contaminants before the application of the sealer
- Acceptable surface cleaning methods include shot blasting, sand blasting, or water blasting
- Usually no preparation is required for building envelopes unless the substrate has surface dirt or contaminants on it
- Do not apply to a wet substrate, although a damp substrate may be treated
- If a chemical curing agent has been used during installation of new concrete, it must be removed prior to the application of the sealer
- Application
- CIPADAM® S-40 should be applied as packaged - do not dilute or alter material
- Preferred method of application is with low pressure (20 psi) airless spray equipment or with heavily saturated brush or roller
- Sprayer should be fitted with solvent resistant hoses and gaskets
- When using brushes or rollers, care should be taken to ensure that enough solution is applied
- Apply sufficient material to thoroughly saturate the surface making sure to brush out excess material that does not penetrate
- Horizontal Surface Applications
- This product should be applied in a single saturating application with sufficient material so that it should pond on the surface at least 5 seconds before being absorbed
- Surface residues, pools and puddles should be broomed out thoroughly until they completely penetrate into the surface
- Protect from vehicular traffic for 24 hours
- Vertical Surface Application
- This product should be applied in a flooding application from the bottom-up so the material runs down 15-20 cms (6"-8") below the spray pattern
- On porous substrates, this product should be applied in two "wet-on-wet" applications
- Allow the first application to penetrate the surface and re-apply in the same manner
- Limitations
- Not intended for below-grade waterproofing
- It can be applied at temperatures down to -7°C (20°F) provided no ice or frost exist in or on the surface
- Do not apply if the ambient temperature of the surface exceeds 38°C (100°F)
- Do not apply if rain is expected within 4 hours
- If rain has preceded the application, the surface should be allowed to dry for at least 24 hours
- This material should be stored in sealed containers and kept away from extreme heat
- Coverage
- Porosity and texture of the concrete and masonry surface will affect the amount of material necessary for effective treatment
- Always test on the actual surface to get precise consumption rates
- Concrete: 3-7m²/L (120-285 ft²/U.S. gal.) depending on porosity
- Clean up
Clean up with CPD® Xylol

Safety & Health
- Precautions
- This product contains blended solvents and alcohol should be handled accordingly
- Do not use near fire or extreme heat and provide good ventilation to avoid buildup of solvent fumes
- Applicators should wear approved NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators
- When applying to exteriors 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-40 should be changed as quickly as possible
- Maintanance
Chemical spills, salts and abrasives should be removed from the surfaces as soon as possible.
