AcryliSeal 3401

AcryliSeal 3401 is a clear solvent based acrylic sealer that “laminates” concrete by providing a protective barrier against UV rays, oxidation, water, oils, and mild chemicals.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

AcryliSeal 3401 is a high performance solvent-based acrylic sealer which leaves a protective membrane on the concrete surface that both waterproofs and seals. It contains no silicones, waxes, or oils and does not fade, yellow, chip, or peel when applied properly. Formulated with methyl-methacrylate copolymers, aromatic solvents, and special additives which result in an extremely tough acrylic surface that has many special qualities. AcryliSeal 3401 penetrates deeply into the concrete pores providing unusual durability and protection. It will also enhance the color of integral colored concrete or exposed aggregate by giving it a “wet glossy look.” Treated surfaces shed water, dirt, soot and chemical contaminants to prevent staining and moisture damage to the matrix. Because of the unusual characteristics of this formulation, it may be used for many different applications.

BASIC USES

AcryliSeal 3401 is widely used on concrete substrates to protect against soiling by airborne contaminants or other materials, which by absorption would cause unsightly substrate discoloration. AcryliSeal 3401 offers surface protection plus water repellency and color enhancement.

Patterned/Stamped Concrete – It is particularly effective on textured patterned concrete surfaces where the irregular texture pattern readily traps dirt and other particles causing discoloration.

Decorative Polymer Concretes – Provides a high performance, tough, durable, protective, topcoat seal. Water-white; will not yellow with exposure to sunlight. Enhances the color of surfaces and provides additional chemical and abrasion protection.

Concrete Pavers – Brings out color and protects paver from fading or color change due to weathering. Helps seal against spillage.

Lightweight Concrete Block – Penetrates into concrete block pores for in-depth protection against moisture. Retards the moisture exchange in concrete that brings soluble concrete salts to the surface.

Architectural Concrete – Reduces lime leaching which can etch tinted colored glass, aluminum, etc. Brings out the fresh wet look color of aggregates.

Common and Face Brick – Prevents stains from penetrating into the brick surface. Dried film provides protection against chemical attack and makes brick easer to clean.

ADVANTAGES

• Brightens and weatherproofs exposed aggregate walls and sidewalk areas.

• Dries hard. Will not attract dirt, airborne dust or grime.

• Reduces moisture entry into concrete surfaces and helps prevent efflorescence.

• Quick drying time. Dry to the touch in 30-40 minutes

• Minimizes spalling of exterior concrete due to soft moisture absorbing aggregates or concrete.

PRODUCT LIMITATIONS

Do not apply to wet or damp surfaces, as this will cause poor bonding and a milky white or frosty appearance. AcryliSeal 3401 is not to be used as concrete curing compound. It is not compatible with damp surfaces. Although AcryliSeal 3401 is a clear, non-yellowing film, any clear coating can change the light refraction characteristics of the surface giving the visual effect of a slight color change. Differences in porosity and nonuniformity of application on smooth masonry/concrete might affect the even distribution of AcryliSeal 3401. Application will give the colored surface a gloss wet look and will generally deepen the color. It will accentuate color variations or trowel burns. Always coat a test area to determine acceptability and to assure desired aesthetic results. Some brick, color stuccos, mortars, and cements will bleed color when subjected to a solvent-based coating. On brick and colored masonry surfaces a test area is imperative to determine compatibility and adhesion.

AcryliSeal 3401 is flammable and toxic in the liquid state. If interior surfaces are being coated (especially if spray equipment is being used) the application area should be well ventilated. Open foods, meats, vegetables and dairy products may pick up the solvent odors when applied AcryliSeal 3401 is drying. All food items should be removed prior to application and until the sealer has had time to fully dry.

APPLICATION DATA SUMMARY

See Application Instructions for complete information on surface preparation, equipment, environmental conditions, application procedures, and safety precautions. For conditions outside the specifications or limitations described, contact Wolverine Coatings Corporation for details.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Coating performance is directly related to the quality and degree of surface preparation. Prior to overcoating, all surfaces must be clean, dry, undamaged, and free of all contaminants. For more specific information, consult the surface preparation section contained in the Application instructions.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read the Safety Data Sheet carefully before use. Safety precautions in the SDS should be carefully followed during storage, handling and use. Improper use and handling can be hazardous to health and cause fire or explosion.
