Z Aqua-Thane G40 Water-Based, Polyurethane Coating, Wet-Look, High-Gloss Concrete Sealer

Instructions: Surface Prep: New concrete must be completely cured before applying this sealer. Any moisture remaining in the concrete can cause adhesion issues. You can check with a moisture meter or by taking several 6x6 inch sheets of clear plastic and thoroughly taping it to the surface completely around the edges. If after 24 hrs the plastic is dry, it is assumed there are not hydrostatic pressure problems. If acid stains/washes are used, the concrete must be completely neutralized to a pH of 7. A light sanding with 100-200 grit sand paper is recommended on all new hard-troweled concrete to open the surface /promote adhesion. On burnished, highly-polished or concrete cast against smooth surfaces, additional sanding or acid etching may be required for the best adhesion properties. On textured or stamped concrete, no additional steps are required but in all cases concrete should be clean and 100% free of all dust, debris, or previous coatings. Mixing: Mix exactly 2 parts of A to 1 part of B. Mix thoroughly with a paint mixing stick and always scrape the sides of your mixing container to ensure a uniform mixture. Mix adequately for 2-3 minutes. Failure to properly mix components may result in adhesion or hardness issues. Pot life of mixed components is roughly 2-3 hours at 75ºF. Application: Concrete surface should be 55ºF-85ºF. On smaller areas like countertops, a 1/4” nap roller or a micro-fiber applicator pad is recommended. Product should be applied in a thin, even coating. Do not allow to puddle in low areas. Back-rolling may be necessary to control thickness and guarantee uniformity. Two coats should be applied for sufficient protection. On rough or more porous concrete additional coats may be needed. Always test with water to confirm concrete is adequately sealed. Re-coat time is 6-12 hours at 75ºF and the first coat should be tack free. If this window is missed, the first coat may have to be lightly sanded with 300 grit paper before applying a second coat.

• Z Aqua-Thane G40 is a water-based, two-component, self-cross-linking polyurethane coating. It exhibits a high-gloss finish and offers superior stain, abrasion, and chemical resistance. The durability makes this sealer ideal for high-traffic areas. Z Aqua-Thane G40 is safe for indoor or outdoor use.
• Will provide darkening "wet look". Amount of darkening will depend on porosity of concrete. Always test on sample to confirm results first.
• Aqua-Thane G40 vs. Aqua-Thane M35 - The G40 has a higher gloss finish and will darken or "wet out" the concrete very similar to when water is applied to an unsealed surface. The M35 has a matte/satin finish with very slight darkening on colored concrete.
• Provides a glossy, abrasion-resistant finish; Fast-drying; safe for indoor or outdoor use; Excellent chemical resistance and UV resistance
• Coverage - 50-75 sq. ft. @ 2 coats (one 1.5 qt. kit)
