Moxie Shield 1500 Concrete Sealer is suitable for new and existing concrete and all other forms of cementitious construction and products. The superior sealer protects and preserves all above and below grade, vertical and horizontal concrete surfaces. Moxie 1500 Concrete Sealer undergoes a chemical reaction with the by-products of cement hydration to form the highest density of cementitious materials. It dramatically enhances the natural characteristics of concrete and reduces the capillary voids to near zero.
- Advantages
- Stops moisture and vapor migration
- Resists reinforcing steel corrosion and deterioration
- Improves weathering resistance
- Negative and/or positive side application
- Dust-proofs the surface
- Resists hydrostatic pressure up to 100 psi
- Resists chloride intrusion
- Dramatically increases surface hardness
- Prevents efflorescence
- Increases freeze-thaw durability (exceeds 600 cycles)
- Prevents mildew and fungi
- Resists acid attack
- Adds density and bond strength
- Penetration of up to 6 inches
- Cures concrete uniformly
- Preserves and prepares masonry for paints, coatings and adhesives
- Sustainability
- Building for future generations – The Moxie technology strengthens the inner structure of concrete and leads to longer lasting quality structures
- LEED Certification – Moxie Shield 1400 increases available LEED credits for projects
- Zero VOC (EPA 24 VOC) – The Moxie technology is based on inorganic compounds
- Non-Toxic / Non-Hazardous – The liquid Moxie Shield 1400 is not toxic or hazardous and when protecting concrete from moisture intrusion. Moxie Shield 1400 will not release toxic or hazardous emissions
- Water-Based – The technology is a water base carrier for inorganic ingredients

- Performance Data
Moxie Shield 1500 Concrete Sealer has been performing in laboratory and jobsite settings for over 40 years and has demonstrated effectiveness in curing, surface hardening/strengthening, freeze-thaw durability and water vapor transmission.
- Existing Concrete Preparation
Substrate preparation is the most important factor when applying Moxie Shield 1500 Concrete Sealer. Moxie Shield 1500 Concrete Sealer is a chemically reactive, penetrating sealer that MUST penetrate in order to be effective. [NOTE: To verify absorption, refer to Moxie Shield 1500 Concrete Sealer Application Procedures to perform the Water Absorption Test.] On existing slabs, remove any flooring materials, coatings, finishes, waxes, grease, surface sealers, paints, flooring adhesives, or any other materials that could impede the absorption and penetration of Moxie Shield 1500 Concrete Sealer. If the concrete is nonabsorptive, it must be properly and aggressively abraded to expose a surface that will allow static absorption of our water-based product. Bead blast, scarify, or grind with a diamond blade to expose an absorptive surface. Acid etching is not recommended.
- Application for New Concrete Installation
Moxie Shield 1500 Concrete Sealer can be sprayed onto the surface of the fresh concrete as soon as the concrete surface is "set" enough to walk on without marring the finish.
- Apply the first coat of Moxie Shield 1500 penetrating sealer using a lowpressure sprayer.
- Apply the second coat as soon as first coat has absorbed. Typically, no more than 10 minutes.
- No additional preparation is needed before or after the two-coat application.
- Coverage Rate
- For two coat horizontal coverage estimate 150-200 ft² per gallon. For two coat vertical coverage estimate 100-125 ft² per gallon
- If using as a curing compound, apply one coat at the rate of one gallon per 250-300 ft² after the final finish. For a moisture vapor barrier, alkali efflorescence, or pH oriented application apply a second application on day two
- Limitations
For exterior applications, do not apply in rain, wind, or extreme conditions. Do not apply if the ambient/surface temperature is below 50ºF or above 85ºF on existing concrete. In controlled environments, the ideal ambient/surface temperature is 68ºF - 78ºF. Do not apply to fresh concrete (less than 28 days) if a calcium chloride accelerator was used. Do not apply in windy conditions.
