AcryliSeal 3501
AcryliSeal 3501 is a clear water based acrylic sealer that “laminates” concrete by providing a protective barrier against UV rays, oxidation, water, oils, and chemicals.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
AcryliSeal 3501 is a high performance Water-Based Nano-Polymer 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. This coating is created with a new generation of NanoPolymer resin technology that creates a waterbased product that will outperform comparable solvent-based products. This acrylic sealer will have much higher resistance to most chemicals including solvents, gasoline, and brake fluid which would not normally be withstood by conventional acrylics. In addition, an extremely tough acrylic surface is formed that is remarkably blush resistant and has many special qualities. AcryliSeal 3501 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 3501 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 3501 offers surface protection, 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; resists yellowing when exposed 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 easier 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 can cause poor bonding or blushing (milky white or frosty appearance). AcryliSeal 3501 is not to be used as concrete curing compound. Although AcryliSeal 3501 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 non-uniformity of application on smooth masonry/concrete might affect the even distribution of AcryliSeal 3501.
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 Water-Based coating. On brick and colored masonry surfaces a test area is imperative to determine compatibility and adhesion.
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.
