- Primary Benefits
- The natural look and feel of the substrate is not perceptibly altered.
- Non toxic / non-hazardous.
- Semi - Homogeneous solution (requires slight agitation prior to application).
- Poly Masonry Sealer is a penetrating treatment and may temporarily darken the substrate on which it is applied.
- Light citrus odor.
- Prevents the water absorption/retention required for the growth of fungi or algae and reduces the adhesion of dirt and organic pollutants.
- Reduces or eliminates efflorescence.
- Does not restrict the natural breathing ability of the treated matter.
- U.V. (Ultraviolet) resistant / extends product life.
- Very low VOC content: ~ 0.10 lb. per gallon.
- Product performance does not deteriorate at temperatures between –0°F and +470°F.

- Technology
CS-20 utilizes unique polysiloxanes coupled with proprietary technologies to provide high performance products that are environmentally safe. This degree of protection is facilitated by increased levels of penetration into the substrate matter. During the curing stage the formula attaches itself to the substrate particles by electrochemical means and acts as a semi permeable membrane which impedes water vapor or liquid from spreading, wetting and absorption through capillary channeling. The resulting semi permeable membrane does not restrict the treated matter from breathing. CS-2O will significantly reduce or eliminate efflorescence due to its principle function.
- Applications
CS-20 is an advanced technology in sealers and is applicable on:
- Pre-cast Concrete
- Concrete Masonry Units
- Poured in Place Concrete
- Colored and Regular Concrete Pavers
- Stucco
- Terrazzo
- Concrete Blocks
- Colored Stamped Concrete
- Concrete Ornamentals
- Cast Stone
- Concrete Historical Structures
- Surface Preparation
The material to be treated should be dry and free of non-integral dust, dirt, mildew, algae or alkali salts. If being applied to an existing structure, the substrate should be thoroughly washed to remove all efflorescence, dirt, mildew and fungi. Allow adequate time for drying prior to application.
- Method of Application
Poly Top Sealer CS-20 can be applied by means of spraying with a conventional, airless (60 psi or below), or Hudson pump up type sprayer. Make sure the masonry, brick and clay substrate to be treated is dry (15% moisture content maximum). Agitate the sealer as indicated on the label; utilize as is. Do not dilute or otherwise alter the material.
