BASEMENT SEALER™

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: BASEMENT SEALER™ is a bright extra white, high-performance elastomeric ceramic commercial grade 10 year, concrete & masonry waterproofing basement sealer. Excellent waterproofing with a high concentration of elastomeric resin for the ultimate in waterproofing protection. This technology has excellent penetration on porous surfaces and outstanding adhesion on non-porous surfaces. BASEMENT SEALER™ is formulated with an environmentally friendly biocide to resist mildew growth. BASEMENT SEALER™ is designed for positive waterproofing of wall surfaces only. This product will not stop negative hydrostatic pressure resistance, if negative hydrostatic pressure resistance is required, please inquire about BASEMENT SEALER PRO™ or BASEMENT SEALER PROTEX™ or BASEMENT SEALER CLEAR PRO™.

BASEMENT SEALER™ USES: BASEMENT SEALER™ is ideal for interior and exterior use, as well as above grade or below grade masonry walls. Uses include; basement walls, masonry walls, retaining walls, poured concrete, foundations, landscape walls, cinder blocks, concrete blocks, stucco and brick. Excellent for use as a waterproofing sealer to prevent peeling and efflorescence in the bottom sections of walls prone to moisture absorption. BASEMENT SEALER™ can be used on metal, wood, previously painted surfaces and most other surfaces.

SURFACE PREPARATION: For proper adhesion and penetration it is essential that the surface be properly prepared. Surface should be pressure washed with at least 1500 P.S.I. of pressure using a water and chlorine solution (approximately 1 quart of chlorine to 5 gallons of water). Thoroughly remove all dirt, oil, grease, residues, mold, mildew, algae and any other surface contaminants. Severe mildew requires a stronger concentration of chlorine. TSP (Tri-Sodium Phosphate) should be used to clean oil and grease stains. Efflorescence is a white, powdery, crystal-like deposit visible on the masonry. Any EFFLORESCENCE must be eliminated. Use muriatic acid to etch and eliminate efflorescence. APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Stir well before and during use. Minimum of two coats required. Do not apply when temperatures are below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or when humidity is very high. Do not apply when coating will be subjected to rain or heavy dew before it has had enough time to dry (approx. 3 hours). Do not apply the product to hot surfaces directly in sunlight, this may cause the coating to dry too quickly and reduce or prevent proper penetration and adhesion. Drying time will vary depending on temperature, humidity and location. Apply using brush, ¾” roller or spray. If brushed, work BASEMENT SEALER™ onto the surface, being sure to fill all pores and pinholes. Apply uniformly and do not leave puddles or build ups. Spread Rate will vary depending on surface. Apply the second coat after waiting at least 12 hours. Let the final application cure at 7 days before allowing use. High humidity will increase the cure time. Airless Sprayers: Use at least a 1 gallon per minute piston type airless sprayer with a recommended tip size of .025. Remove all line filters and gun filters before spraying. CLEAN UP: Clean up all spills, tools and overspray immediately while the coating is still wet with warm soapy water.
