Acrylic Sealer Print this page

Direct Colors Acrylic Solvent-Based Concrete Sealer is an acrylic xylene-based product designed to provide a satin finish for any exterior or interior concrete surface. This acrylic sealer can be used indoors but should only be applied in spaces well-ventilated to the outside. Due to the strong odor, acrylic solvent-based sealers are not recommended for concrete basements floors, occupied homes or businesses. A respirator must be used in all poorly ventilated areas. Preferred choice for exterior concrete floors and garage floor applications where slip hazards might be a concern. Our Satin Finish Acrylic Sealer is also available in over 40 colors and is the first choice for sealing Liquid Colored Antique Concrete Stain applications.

Sprayable Satin Finish Concrete Sealer is the #1 choice for outdoor concrete floors and is available in trial sizes for testing or small projects. To prevent slip hazards on smooth outdoor concrete, add Anti-Slip Grit Additive to the second coat of sealer.

Coverage:

200-400 square feet per gallon. Coverage rates depend on the surface condition of the concrete. Rougher, broom-finished and porous concrete, especially older, eroded outdoor slabs, will require more product to seal properly. Two coats are recommended for outdoor concrete.

Application:

Sprayable Satin Finish Concrete Sealer is most commonly applied with a pump-up fence and deck sprayer or a 3/8″ nap roller but HPLV or airless sprayer rated for xylene could also be used. For best results, apply thin coats to increase strength and clarity. Applying an additional coat of sealer to a surface that is tacky, milky or has ridges will not improve the overall appearance of the floor and will only compound existing problems. Depending on weather conditions, drying time is 4-8 hours between coats. Allow for 24 hours dwell time after the final coat before permitting vehicle or heavy foot traffic.

Note: Allow for 48-72 hours dry time for floors sealed with solvent-based sealers before applying Residential or Commercial Wax. Use xylene for tool and sprayer clean-up.
