Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Features
- Breathable to allow vapor transmission.
- Reduces chloride ion penetration.
- Reduces salt scaling damage.
- ATV cure features allow fast chemical reaction with chloride (and other negative ions) which enables sealer to react with salts.
- Excellent adhesion to concrete, asphalt (including bituminous mastic), wood and other common building materials.
- Provides a semi-gloss, high friction coefficient finish.
- Low application odor.
- Single component low viscosity allows for simple, safe application.
- Easily cleaned and maintained.
- Excellent penetration into cracks even hairline and micro cracks.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Uses
- PENNSEALER EE offers protection to concrete, asphalt covered decks, masonry walls and other surfaces, from ingress of chloride ion, water absorption, freeze thaw scaling, damage from petroleum products and other contaminants.
- PENNSEALER EE performs excellently as a dustproof abrasion resistant sealer for exposed concrete floors including industrial and commercial applications.
- PENNSEALER EE reacts in the presence of salt deposits in the crack to form an instant and watertight seal through its unique ATV cure mechanism.
- NOTE: ATV cure denotes Ambient Triggered Vulcanization concept. PennKote's unique curing system built into PENNSEALER EE. This curing system uses chlorides and other chemicals and salts found within the concrete deck to initiate the cure and trigger the vulcanization process.
- PENNSEALER EE may also be used as a tie coat for aggregated epoxy urethane systems.
- PENNSEALER EE can also be used as a surface conditioner, or reactive primer to treat concrete, masonry, metal and wood prior to coating with a subsequent compatible system.
- Limitations
Being an emulsion, PENNSEALER must be kept from freezing and can not be applied at temperatures at or below freezing point.

- Pennsealer ee can be sprayed, rolled or applied by squeegee brush. Conventional airless spray or low pressure sprayers may be used. Squeegee brushes are available from pennkote limited. Pennsealer ee is a single component product and requires no mixing or blending. It may however, be advisable to stir each unit opened prior to use to ensure no settlement has occurred or separation of the material due to prolonged storage. First coat: pour material onto floor and work into surface using a power brush or roller. Be sure to saturate the floor using typical "floor coat" methods. Avoid excessive puddling or ponding. Care should be taken to ensure no loss of material through open drains or joints. Second coat: when a second coat is required, apply by power brush or spray or roller. Avoid puddling or runs.
- Surface preparation - remove all loose material, dust, dirt and grease. Surface must be clean and reasonably dry. The presence of moisture in the substrate (such as in concrete not fully cured) will not be detrimental to the performance of this product. Consult pennkote for details not outlined in this section.
- Curing & drying - allow material to cure until dry at ambient and surface temperatures of 5o c or higher. Curing times will be affected by relative humidity, temperature and air flow. The following times will vary with conditions present on job at time of application, applied at standard coverage rates.
- Clean-up - uncured material can be cleaned using light soap and water. Cured material is best removed by xylol or mechanical means.
