Chemical hardening and dust-proofing compound


 

 

 

            DOWNLOADS:

A high-end hardening and dust-proofing compound that is chemically reactive and permanently bonds to concrete. It meets USDA specifications for use in food processing areas, as well as all V.O.C. requirements.

 

 

 

Compliances

Asphalt and Vinyl Institute

Meets Arizona and California V.O.C.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal specifications for sodium silicate concrete compound when used in accordance with their specifications

 

 

Features

Permanent

Resists forklift tire marks

Environmentally safe

Easy water cleanup

No dilution required

Odorless

Usage

Chemically hardens, seals and dust-proofs interior, exterior, vertical or horizontal concrete substrates

Appearance

Inorganic, not affected by ultraviolet light as are organic polymers (epoxies, acrylics, polyurethanes).

Life Expectancy: Becomes part of the concrete and will last as long as the concrete to which it is bonded.

Chemical Resistance: Acids, salts, coal tar distillates, solvents, alcohol, petroleum oils, fats and fatty acids.

Environmentally safe: UNISEAL is odorless and water based.

Exposed pilot lights, sparks and cigarettes are not a problem.

Special storage for insurance is not required because it is neither flammable nor combustible.

Easy maintenance: Wash floors with mild detergent or wet mop, flush walls with water hose.

 

Coverage

200 sq. ft./gal. (4.9 sq. m/L)

Actual coverage rate is dependent upon finish and surface porosity.

Packaging

5 gal./18.9 L pails

55 gal./208 L drums

 

Drying Time

Depending on humidity and ambient temperatures, 1-3 hours

Application

 

METHOD

Spray, roll, brush or squeegee uniformly to form a continuous film for best results.

 

NEWLY PLACED CONCRETE

Step 1 – Apply UNI SEAL immediately following the finishing operation as soon as the bleed water has disappeared and slab can support the weight of an applicator or as soon as forms can be stripped.

Step 2 – Ensure the surface remains wet with UNI SEAL for approx. 30 min. Do not allow surface to dry. Mist with water or product if necessary to keep surface wet. As UNI SEAL chemically reacts with the free lime in concrete, gelation occurs, causing the surface to become slippery.

Step 3 – After 30 min., as the surface becomes slippery underfoot, thoroughly flush entire surface with water.

 

Step 4 – Squeegee dry the surface to remove any impurities or product residue.

OLD CONCRETE

Step 1 – Apply UNI SEAL so entire surface is wet with product for 30 min.

Step 2 – After 30 min., as the surface becomes slippery underfoot, thoroughly flush entire surface with water.

 

Step 3 – Squeegee dry the surface to remove any impurities or product residue.

Limitations

Application temperature range: 35-120°F/2-49°C.

Keep traffic off floor 4-8 hrs, after application.

Protect from freezing. However, may be reused after thawing and agitation.

Not for use on colored concrete, masonry or mortar.

Test application should be performed.

Do not dilute or alter.

Cleanup

Rinse equipment with cold water. If UNI SEAL is accidentally sprayed on glass, brick or aluminum, rinse immediately with clear water.

 

 

Cautions

Warning: Surface wet with UNI SEAL is very slippery. Use appropriate caution.

Epoxy Polymer Extends Life For World's Longest Covered Bridge It’s a smoother and safer ride for motorists crossing over the Hartland Covered Bridge in Hartland, New Brunswick, Canada—the world’s longest covered bridge. The bridge deck has been covered with an epoxy polymer overlay from Unitex.
