Hi Build Enduro Solvent Based Acrylic Matte Sealer - 20L

Product Information

Hi-Build Enduro is a high solids, ready to use, solvent based, premium strength acrylic sealer, formulated to protect and enhance the surface of decorative concrete and textured concrete pavers. The solution provides a longer lasting gloss film of limited flexibility with excellent resistance to tyre marking, sunlight, grease and oil.

RECOMMENDED USES

• Plain or Coloured Concrete
• Stamped / Patterned Concrete
• CCS Stylepave or Sprayed-on Concrete
• Stencilled Concrete
• Textured Concrete Pavers

PACKAGING

• Hi Build Enduro is available in 20 litre drums

COVERAGE

• Coverage is approximately 4 to 5 m2 per litre per coat. Where two coats are applied, coverage is approximately 40?50m2 per 20 litre drum.

Refer to the chart below for first coat dilution rates. Always dilute with CCS Solvent.

APPLICATION METHOD

Best results are achieved by using a solvent resistant broom head. A low pressure sprayer or roller can also be used, however penetration into the concrete is not as effective as using a broom head.

Allow freshly laid concrete, which has been treated with CCS Same Day Sealer to cure for at least 3 to 7 days prior to application of sealer.

Fresh concrete which has not been treated with CCS Same Day Sealer or a curing agent should be left to cure for a minimum of 28 days prior to application of sealer.

Do not apply to concrete if it has a patchy appearance.

PREPARATION

Existing Concrete

To ensure all surface contaminants are removed, apply CCS HD Degreaser or CCS Citric Cleaner to the surface, removing any oil stains.

Scrub surface with auto scrubbing equipment or use a high pressure water cleaner to remove contaminants ensuring all traces of the degreaser are thoroughly removed.

Over New Concrete

Fresh concrete which has not been treated with CCS Same Day Sealer or a curing agent should be left to cure for a minimum of 28 days prior to application of sealer.

Remove all oil, grease and dirt using CCS HD Degreaser. Then thoroughly wash the surface using auto scrubbing equipment or a commercial high pressure water cleaner.

Where efflorescence or laitance is present a mild citric cleaner wash may be required. Use CCS Citric Cleaner as per the label and data sheet instructions. Acid washing is not recommended on concrete pavers.

All concrete surfaces must be thoroughly dry before applying any sealer.

Textured Concrete Pavers

To ensure all surface contaminants are removed, apply CCS HD Degreaser to the surface, removing any oil stains. Note: Do not use any acidic based cleaners on concrete pavers. Instead, scrub the surface with auto scrubbing equipment or use a high pressure water cleaner to remove contaminants, ensuring all traces of the degreaser are thoroughly removed.

Resealing Concrete

Concrete surfaces that have been previously sealed must be prepared by removing all loose or delaminated material. The entire surface should then be solvent scrubbed with CCS Solvent prior to immediate application of CCS Hi-Build Enduro.

If the existing sealer is flaking/peeling, it is necessary to completely remove the coating with CCS Enviro Stripper. Ensure the surface is thoroughly rinsed and dry before applying any sealer

FIRST COAT

1. Using CCS Solvent, thin the first coat (refer to dilution chart).

2. Apply the sealer with a CCS Solvent Resistant Broom Head, short napped roller or solvent resistant lowpressure sprayer.

3. Allow a minimum of six hours between coats. For best results allow 24 hours before applying the second coat.

SECOND COAT

1. Stir thoroughly and apply as per first coat method above, however thinning is not required.

2. Apply the second coat in the opposite direction to the first coat.

CLEAN UP

Wash all equipment thoroughly in CCS Solvent and allow to dry.

CURING

Curing time depends on the temperature. The sealer is usually touch-dry in 20 minutes at 25ºC. The concrete can usually be walked on after 24 hours. Allow seven days before parking on the coating.

Note: CCS Hi Build Enduro is not to be used as a curing compound for freshly laid concrete

APPROPRIATE SURFACE TEXTURE

As a general statement, the application of a coating to concrete will reduce the existing slip resistance of that surface.

Consequently, care must be taken before sealing concrete to ensure that the surface texture has sufficient profile to provide adequate traction.

To aid traction, mix a satchel of CCS Sealer Grip additive into the sealer prior to application of the final coat. However, as the sealer wears, the traction additives will also diminish in effectiveness.

COATING MAINTENANCE AND LIFESPAN

The expected lifespan of the coating is dependent on the location, weather and traffic the concrete is subjected to. One major benefit of all CCS solvent based sealers is the ease of re-coating.

Assess the surface after 12 months, 18 months and 24 months from the application date, to determine if it requires recoating. In light use areas, protected from adverse weather conditions the coating will last longer.
