Health and Safety

BATIMIX Clear Seal 600 is not a hazardous material. However, it should not be swallowed or allowed to come into contact with skin and eyes. Suitable gloves and goggles should be worn. For additional information, kindly refer to the product’s Material Safety Data Sheet.

Directions for Use

Surface preparation:

All old paint, oil, and grease must be removed. It is required that most concrete must be etched as a porous surface. Etching should be done with 10 parts water to 1 part Muriatic Acid Solution. Extremely hard or polished concrete may require a second application with a stronger solution. Rinse surface thoroughly with plenty of clean water and let dry completely.

Application:

Apply at a uniform coverage with an industrial hand held pump-up or airless sprayer, or by paint roller. Common garden-type sprayers should not be used. The first coat of BATIMIX Clear Seal 600 acts as a primer for the second coat. Allow the first coat to dry tack-free before applying the second coat. Best performance and appearance is achieved with two coats, following the prescribed coverage rates.

Application of BATIMIX Clear Seal 600 too heavily, in too many successive coats, or in multiple coats over time can cause bubbling, whitening, peeling, and ultimate failure of the product. To prevent over-application, it is good practice to measure the area to be sealed and the corresponding volume of product required based on the coverage rate. Also, applying BATIMIX Clear Seal 600 in hot weather or onto a hot surface can cause bubbling.

Compatibility

BATIMIX Clear Seal 600 is compatible with all types of cementitious-based concrete substrates made using Portland cement or replacement materials such as silica fume, fly ash, or blast furnace slag. Its final performance should be assessed using trial tests.
