The untreated sample had obvious leakage. There was NO leakage through the treated sample.

INSTALLATION

General Application Instructions:
If possible, the application should be a continuous process from start to finish of the project. If for any reason the appli- cation is interrupted, see ’Interrupted Applications’ at the end of this section.

1. Remove all coatings or sub- stances that may prevent penetration of the sealer (e.g. curing agents, coatings, sealants, dirt, surface oil, efflorescence, standing water).

2. Protect objects from overspray; especially glass, metals, ceramics, glazed tile and wood. Protect all windows, doorways, lights, etc. with polyethylene film and waterproof tape. DO NOT remove protection until after completion of final water spray application (see below). Protect or remove all personal items (e.g. eyeglasses, jewelry, watches).

3. Apply sealer in light, even coats , barely wetting the surface, with a garden or airless sprayer. Minimum 2 coats. (Typical job requires 3 to 4 coats.) DO NOT apply sealer in heavy coats.

Immediately after the first coat is dry, apply a second coat. NOTE: ”Dry” means dry to the touch and the concrete has returned to original color. Drying time will vary from 10 to 30 minutes depending on temperature/environment.

If a light sheen is visible when the second coat is dry, STOP APPLICATION. If not, repeat coats until a light sheen is apparent. Apply only as much sealer as the surface will readily absorb. Areas that absorb sealer at a faster rate (dry spots) require additional coats.

WARNING: Excess sealer left to dry on the surface may result in a white scaly residue that is difficult to remove. DO NOT allow sealer to puddle or “run” on the sur- face. Sweep excess to an adjacent area, or wipe with a damp cloth, or mop it up.

4. After the final coat of sealer is dry, wet the entire treated area with a light water spray. The surface should dry dull, like untreated concrete. If a sheen is still apparent, repeat the water spray applica- tion cycle until the surface does dry dull like untreated concrete. NOTE: In most cases two water spray applications are required. Under some circumstances more than two water spray applications may be required.

IMPORTANT: The treated area is immediately available for foot and vehicle traffic after the last water spray application is dry to the touch; but DO NOT cover the treated area with any low permeability covering (e.g. paint, elastomeric coatings, seamless coverings) for a minimum of 14 days while the sealer is curing. Breathable cementitious coatings or patching materials may be applied after 48 hours; as can crack repair materials and parking lot striping.

5. Clean all equipment by rinsing with water.

INTERRUPTED APPLICATIONS: If an application is interrupted before completion, mark the place of interruption, and WET DOWN THE ENTIRE TREATED AREA with a light water spray before leaving the job. Continue the job at a later time, resuming the application at the marked place of interruption, and follow all the application steps just as if there was no break in the procedure. If the job should be interrupted by rain, follow the same procedure as above, wetting down the entire treated area, NO MATTER HOW HARD IT RAINS! This will ensure proper penetration, and help prevent streaking.

HOT WEATHER APPLICATION: In direct sunlight if concrete is hot to the touch (above 100° F), cool the surface before application by lightly dampening it with a water spray. Allow the surface to dry completely; and begin application immediately after the surface has dried. Lightly water spray the treated area between sealer coats. This Is to prevent the sealer from drying on the surface. Follow the General Application Instructions.

COLD WEATHER APPLICATION: Cooler temperatures cause sealer penetration at a slower rate. Allow ample time between coats for complete penetration until the surface is dry. DO NOT apply sealer in temperatures below 40° F; or if the temperature is expected to drop below 32° F within a 24-hour period. Follow the General Application Instructions.

OUTDOOR APPLICATION: Sealer may dry prematurely windy conditions. Minimize overspray by holding spray nozzle closer to surface. If rain is expected within a 24-hour period, DO NOT apply sealer. If it does rain within 24 hours after application, another application may be required. Contact local distributor or SINAK Corporation for assistance.

In case of rain, or if rain is expected within 48 hours from application, do not remove protection from glass or other areas until rain ceases. Follow General Application Instructions.

For New Concrete: Apply sealer after concrete has cured for a minimum of 14 days. For optimum results allow concrete to cure for 28 days or longer.

Coverage Rates:
S-102™ coverage is 150-250 square feet per gallon, finished application. Finished application means including all coats of applied S-102™. These figures are estimates and may vary since the SINAK Sealer formulas are true penetrants, and substrate and environmental conditions fluctuate. For additional information, contact the nearest distributor or SINAK Corporation.

Precautions:
FOR USE ON CONCRETE SURFACES ONLY. SINAK Sealers will permanently damage glass, metals, wood, jewelry, and glazed materials by streaking, whiting, or staining.

Excess sealer left to dry on the surface may result in a white, scaly residue that will be difficult to remove.

Storage and Handling:
Store in cool dry area out of direct sunlight. Must be kept in tightly secured containers to prevent evaporation and contamination.

All SINAK products MUST be pro- tected from freezing. Product that has frozen will not function as intended, and should be discarded.

AVAILABILITY
SINAK Sealer S-102™ is available in 5-gallon plastic pails, 55-gallon steel drums and 275-gallon biodegradeable totes from selected distributors.

MAINTENANCE
After application, no special maintnance is required.
