WATER-BASED SEALER

DermaShield is a water based, pre-mixed liquid designed to penetrate deep into the concrete slab. DermaShield is designed to stop hydrostatic pressure and reduce vapor permeability to protect surface applied coatings and adhesives from the effects of capillary moisture and vapor pressure. The organic and inorganic composition of DermaShield penetrates to become an integral part of the concrete slab leaving no surface film or residue. DermaShield permanently forms an internal capillary break preventing positive, negative and horizontal moisture intrusion. DermaShield also forms an internal membrane film further sealing the capillary system from moisture migration and water vapor emissions to provide maximum protection. DermaShield is a white, low viscosity liquid that requires no special handling or equipment.

MIXING AND APPLICATION:

Mix DermaShield with a 250 to 400 RPM drill and mixing paddle before using. Do not add anything to thin or entrain air during mixing. A two-coat concrete surface application of DermaShield is recommended using a low-pressure sprayer.

Fresh/Green Concrete:

DermaShield is applied to Green Concrete as soon as the concrete can be walked upon without damage and surface water is not visible. Approximately 6 to 12 hours in typical conditions. Initial application rate is 300 to 400 square feet per gallon. Do not pond DermaShield or oversaturate the fresh concrete surface.

After sweeping or vacuuming the concrete surface, a second DermaShield

application is applied at 300 to 400 square feet per gallon after 7 days for optimum performance. Constantly broom any puddles until DermaShield is absorbed into the slab.

Aged Concrete:

A two coat DermaShield application is recommended to properly prepared Aged Concrete. The initial application rate is approximately 300 square feet per gallon. Absorption rates vary depending on the porosity of the concrete. Evenly distribute DermaShield with a broom to remove excess material and puddles.

The first application should be damp and absorbed in 20 to 30 minutes. After the first coat has been absorbed, but not dry, a second application is applied at a rate of 300 to 400 square feet per gallon. Constantly broom any puddles of DermaShield.
