Additional Data
CHALK-FORCE™ is an epoxy-acrylic, high performance surface conditioner and chalk sealer that is designed to provide a firm surface for application of latex paints and coatings. It seals high pH (pH of 13 or less) cementitious surfaces. It eliminates the 28 day curing period for fresh cementitious surfaces. This single component, fully crosslinked emulsion polymer product, provides many of the attributes of more expensive polyurethane and epoxy products. This is a low V.O.C. waterborne formulation of new technology that gives the convenience of water clean up while surpassing the durability and performance of solvent based products. It has excellent penetration on porous surfaces and superior adhesion on non-porous or compatible previously coated surfaces. It binds chalky, powdery or porous surfaces, especially badly weathered cement or stucco. CHALK-FORCE™ has excellent efflorescence and alkali resistance.
CHALK-FORCE™ penetrates the existing surface, bonding the previous coating back together, leaving a chalk free, moisture resistant surface that can be recoated in 4 hours under normal drying conditions.
CHALK-FORCE™ provides ease of application, quick drying time, and allows all top coatings to form a permanent bond for long life without fear of peeling due to poor substrate adhesion.
CHALK-FORCE™ is suitable for previously coated surfaces that are chalking. CHALK-FORCE™ will penetrate and lock chalky surfaces in place leaving a substrate ready to accept any grade of top coating specified for the application.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
For proper adhesion and penetration it is essential that the surface is prepared properly. The surface must be pressure washed with at least 1500 P.S.I. to remove all loose dirt, mold, and excessive chalking. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying CHALK-FORCE™. The surface must be dry and free from all wax, grease, oil, dirt, loose or flaking material and soap deposits.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
Stir contents thoroughly. Do not thin this product, use as is from the container. Apply either by roller, brush or airless sprayer. Apply at temperatures above 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Wait 24 hours before applying to hot or high pH cementitious surfaces. Apply uniformly and do not leave build ups. Be sure to completely seal the surface by overlapping into wet areas.
CLEAN UP:
Clean up all spills, tools and overspray immediately while the coating is still wet with warm soapy water.

People Also Ask
CHALK-FORCE™ is a penetrating primer sealer designed to stabilize chalky, powdery, and high-pH surfaces before painting. It binds loose surface particles, seals porous substrates, and creates a strong foundation for acrylic paints and protective coatings. It is ideal for weathered stucco, concrete, masonry, cement, and previously painted surfaces that have begun to chalk.
Yes. CHALK-FORCE™ is specifically formulated to seal high-pH cementitious surfaces and can significantly reduce the traditional waiting period before painting fresh concrete or stucco. It helps prepare new masonry for topcoats by improving adhesion and resisting alkali and efflorescence.
No, but loose material should still be removed. The surface should be pressure washed to remove dirt, mold, and loose chalk before application. CHALK-FORCE™ then penetrates the remaining chalky surface, locks it in place, and creates a stable substrate for long-lasting paint adhesion. Proper surface preparation remains essential for the best results.
CHALK-FORCE™ is compatible with most quality acrylic paints and protective coatings. Once the primer has dried, it provides a firm, moisture-resistant surface that promotes excellent adhesion and helps reduce the risk of peeling or premature coating failure caused by unstable substrates.
Painting directly over a chalky surface often results in poor adhesion and premature peeling. CHALK-FORCE™ penetrates the surface, binds chalky residue, and seals porous areas so the finish coat bonds to the substrate instead of loose powder. This improves coating durability, extends the life of the paint system, and helps deliver a more professional, longer-lasting finish.
