New product from Arc Building Products.

Arc Path & Patio Sealer is a tough acrylic sealer used to seal and protect absorbent concrete or natural stone surfaces. It produces a hard, clear seal with excellent weathering and water resistance and offers excellent protection from dirt, oil and staining, and helps to prevent moss and mould growth. Arc Path & Patio
Sealer can be used on most concrete and stone paving and is also ideal for use on concrete garage floors, hardstandings and yards.

  • Ready to use
  • Easy to apply
  • Protects from oil, petrol & water
  • Reduces moss & fungal growth

PREPARATION

All surfaces must be dry, clean and free from dust, dirt or debris. All surfaces must be absorbent. When used externally do not apply if it is raining or if rain is forecast within 6-12 hours. If algae or green growth has been present, a pre-treatment with Arc Algae & Greenslime Remover is recommended after cleaning and before sealing. If oil staining is present, it should be removed with a suitable proprietary detergent. Ensure all cleaning products have been rinsed off and surface dried before application.
It is always recommended to carry out a trial on an inconspicuous area to check appearance, finish and suitability.

APPLICATION

Stir well before use. Do not dilute. Apply by brush, roller or low-pressure spray in an even coat across the entire surface. For best results, apply using a long pile roller in long even strokes. Protect surrounding areas from splashes or overspray. Apply in 2 coats allowing 2-4 hours between coats. A third coat may be applied if a semi-gloss finish is required.
Do not allow puddles to form, particularly on textured surfaces, and do not apply in thick layers. Drying time for the final coat will be 2-4 hours depending on conditions. Drying and re-coat times will take longer at lower temperatures and when humidity is high.

ARC CONCRETE DUSTPROOFER https://arcbuildingproducts.ie/arc-concrete-dustproofer/ Tue, 11 Oct 2022 09:57:05 +0000 https://arcbuildingproducts.ie/?p=5323

DESCRIPTION

Arc Dust Proofer is a silicate-based surface hardening liquid for concrete floors, floor screeds and renders.
Arc Dust Proofer reacts chemically with cement-based
substrates to form a microcrystalline seal in the surface pores of the concrete or screed. This produces a hard dust-free finish, which becomes a permanent integral part of the surface, unlike resin based sealers, which slowly degrade on concrete surfaces. It can be used on both new and old concrete floors, floor screeds, etc.

BENEFITS

  • COLOURLESS
  • WATER BASED
  • IMPROVES WEAR RESISTANCE
  • ELIMINATES SURFACE DUSTING
  • EASIER FLOOR MAINTENANCE
  • LONGER FLOOR LIFE

PREPARATION

The substrate must be free of all oil, dust, existing sealers or other contaminants.
All loose material should be removed. Concrete should be at least 21 days old before ap
plying Arc Dust Proofer.
Ensure the substrate is free from resin-based curing compounds or other materials, which
may affect the penetration of water based products.

APPLICATION

Arc Dust Proofer is ready to use straight from the container and can either be sprinkled over the surface with the aid of a plastic watering can, applied over the substrate with a soft broom or squeegee, or applied by a sprayer. When applying by spray ensure the use of protective eye & face equipment. Do not overspray onto adjoining finishes and materials. Spread liquid back and forth over the surface to ensure maximum and even penetration. Do not allow puddles to form on flat surfaces. Normally two coats are sufficient, but in some cases a third coat is beneficial. After the final treatment, the floor should be thoroughly washed with clean water within two hours. Do not allow floor to dry before washing.
