Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Features
- CS 250 is a color enhancing, gloss coat helpful in preventing dusting, spalling, moisture and chemical migration through a slab and improves resistance to freeze/thaw cycles.
- It protects during the many phases of construction from incidental staining, UV protection, and abrasion resistance.
- CS 250 improves any concrete upon placement: driveways and sidewalks, stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, terrazzo, parking garages, or any other slab, whether industrial, commercial, or residential.
- This product should not serve as a sealer for concrete overlay systems.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Coverage
Varies upon substrate: approximately 200 - 240 ft² per gal., per coat; 6.7 - 8 mils wet; 1.3 - 1.6 mils cured.
- Surface Preparation
- The principles for surface preparation for CS 250 has few similarities with other coating systems placed on concrete.
- Clean: The surface must be free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, release agents, and other foreign matter that may serve as a bond breaker..
- Not Cured: After concrete is placed and final finished (i.e. troweling or brooming are completed) and concrete can bear the weight of applicator, CS 250 may be applied. The surface must be free of water.
- Suitability Sample
- Due to condition specific sites, always prepare an adequate number of test areas.
- Wear protection system and esthetic suitability for products’ intended use should be included.
- On-site sample approval is especially critical on substantial, heavy traffic situation or custom coloration.
- Clean-Up
Before the product dries; spills and tools can be cleaned up with a solvent such as xylene or acetone.
- Limitations
- For use by trained professionals that have read the complete SDS.
- The product is strictly for interior use, upon a well-drained concrete slab with an appropriate vapor barrier, subject to no hydrostatic pressure.
- When masking use caution while taping to a floor that is not completely cured, especially at the edges, as delamination may occur.
- Protect from metal wheel traffic and some furniture where point of contact may be damaging.
- Chemicals used in tire manufacturing may be detrimental to all sealers from vehicular parking
- Application Temperature
50 - 90 °F

Regulatory & Compliance
- Slip Resistance
- Two recognized US agencies have issued directives on minimum coefficient of friction, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and Department of Justice through the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).
- ADA is the more stringent of the two. ADA directs that accessible walkways have a minimum coefficient of friction of 0.6. Ramps have been directed to be 0.8.
- The applicator assumes the responsibility to meet these standards. Areas that may become wet, oily, or greasy require special attention.
Safety & Health
- Caution
- Keep out of reach of children.
Inhalation:
- Avoid prolonged breathing of airborne dust, particularly present during mixing.
- Use NIOSH approved respirator for nuisance if threshold limit values are unsafe.
Skin Contact:
- Skin contact may cause irritation.
- Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected skin with soap and water.
- Launder clothing before reuse.
- If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Eyes:
- Wear safety eye protection when applying.
- Contact with eyes may cause irritation.
- Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
- If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
