- Use
ICT Ure-Seal H2O is a 2-part environmentally friendly water reducible, crystal clear, alaphatic urethane. It is a high performance clear coating that can be used inside or out to protect and enhance any properly prepared decorative concrete, brick pavers, and many other concrete & masonry surfaces for years of service.
- Surface Preparation
- Clean surface thoroughly with ICT Total Klean (700) all purpose degreaser and cleaner to remove dirt and oils. It is recommended that you also use a bleach/liquid chlorine solution to remove any visible or microscopic algae or mildew. Rinse thoroughly.
- If you are applying Ure-Seal H2O over brick pavers it is recommended that you use ICT Total Prep (720) according to product directions. This will aid in the removal of efflorescence and condition / prep the pavers.
- Pressure wash the entire area thoroughly to remove any residual chemicals.
Mixing Ratio’s
ICT Ure-Seal H2O is a 2 component product that comes pre-packaged in 1 Gallon and 5 Gallon kits. If not all the product in the kit is needed Ure-Seal H2O can be mixed by using 4 parts of “Part A” and 1 part of “Part B” (i.e.: 4 quarts of Part A to 1 quart of Part B) Do not mix more material than can be used in a 1-3 hour period. Once components A and B are mixed the pot life is approximately 1-3 hours. Pot life will vary based on weather conditions, temperature, humidity etc. Mixed product should NEVER be stored in a closed container. Do not intermix different batch’s.
Dilution Ratio’s
Brick Pavers with sand joints: It is recommended you apply a penetration coat as your first coat. Mix Part A and Part B at the 4:1 ratio. Dilute that solution with up to 2 parts of water. (i.e.: if you have mixed a total of one gallon of product add up to 2 gallons of water) The second coat should be mixed with 1 part water. If additional coats are needed mix at the same 1 part water to 1 part Mixed Ure-Seal.
Travertine : Mix Part A & Part B to the 4:1 ratio. Dilute mixture 1:1 with water (151 Natural UreSeal) 2:1 with water (150 Gloss UreSeal) Apply 1-2 coats. Note: Surface may become slippery. Use ICT Non-Skid Broadcast Blend (495) to aid in slip resistance.
Acrylic Overlays (ICT TK2000 w/ Integral Color), Stamp Overlays, Acid Stains: Mix Part A and Part B at the 4:1 ratio. Dilute that solution with 1 part water. (i,e:1 gal of mixed product diluted with 1 gal of water) The second coat should be applied full strength. Additional coats may be applied to achieve a higher gloss or if additional film thickness is needed for high traffic areas.
Top Coat Sealers (ICT Color Seal H2O Pro, Texture EEZ 3000) and Epoxy Floor Systems should be sealed with Ure-Seal near full strength.
- Application
ICT Ure-Seal H2O is a two component product. Mix using a low speed drill or jiffy mixer for 1-2 minutes. If dilution is recommended, mix parts A & B before and after water is added. Do not whip air into the mixture. Apply with a sprayer or short nap roller. (rolling is only recommended for indoor applications) Do not apply too thick or a white haze or bubbling will form and stay. If a second coat is required, it must be applied after the initial coat is dry to touch and visually clear, usually within 3-6 hours, but before it cures completely, usually within 24-36, hours after the initial coat is applied.
Brick Pavers or Hot Surfaces should be slightly dampened with a light mist of water prior to applying Ure-SealH2O. Do Not Over Hydrate. Hydrate surface only if conditions allow for adequate dry/curing time. Thin pavers with a sand bed should be thoroughly dry before applying Ure-Seal H2O. The use of a quality pump up sprayer/continuous sprayer is recommended. Always filter before filling. A moderate amount of material should be applied. Do not allow Ure-Seal H2O to puddle. If puddling occurs use a dry roller to “back roll” the material, a leaf blower, or a stiff push broom to maintain an even thickness. If you use a roller for the application of Ure-Seal H2O use a 1/4” nap or Micro Fiber roller cover. For dry rolling/ back rolling you will need a 3/4-1” roller cover. If you should see roller marks as you are applying, lightly mist those area with water immediately. This will allow Ure-Seal to settle and form a more even film. Rolling is never recommended on brick pavers.
Travertine should be sealed with 1-2 coats of Ure-Seal H2O using the recommended mixing & dilution ratios. Broadcast ICT Non-Skid Broadcast Blend (495) or Diamond Dust (491) while Ure-Seal H2O is curing to reduce slipperiness.
- DO NOT apply Ure-Seal H2O when air or surface temperature is below 55°F or is expected to fall to the point before application is cured. Low temperatures and high humidity will effect drying and curing times.
- DO NOT apply Ure-Seal H2O to new cement, mortar, grout, brick pavers, or overlays. ICT recommends a minimum wait time of 28 days, to allow these products to cure and lower the PH before sealing. When sealing brick pavers, refer to manufacturer’s recommendation for wait/cure time before sealing. ICT Total Prep (720) should be used for the aid in removal of efflorescence prior to application of Ure-Seal H2O.
- DO NOT apply to thin pavers if moisture is present.
- DO NOT apply to non-porous surfaces, such as tile.
Clean Up
Ure-Seal H2O cleans up easily with ICT Total Wash (760). Follow instructions on back label when using Total Wash (760). Sodium bicarbonate and water is also useful in removing Ure-Seal H2O residue from equipment immediately after application. Mix sodium bicarbonate and water at a ratio of 1 pound of sodium bicarbonate to 1 gallon of water and flush equipment thoroughly. Soap and water may also be used immediately after use.
Coverage :Approx-200 –300 sq. ft. per gallon.
- Limitations
Must be stored in air tight container to prevent evaporation and contamination with foreign material. Do not apply when surface and air temperatures are above 100o F or below 55°F or when dew point is within 5°F of air temperature. Any mixed material if not used within 1-3 hours of mixing should be discarded, this time may be increased by keeping the material in a cool dry place. Do not re-lid product once mixed as product will expand. Do not freeze, store above 40°F. If re-coat time is exceeded surface must be lightly abraded prior to applying any additional coats.
