Clear Guard® Cure and Seal is a solvent-based, VOC compliant, non-yellowing, curing, and sealing compound for newly poured and existing concrete surfaces. The product is formulated for curing and sealing uncolored concrete, integrally colored concrete, and color hardened (shake-on) concrete, stamped or stenciled concrete, and cementitious overlays. It is recommended for use with Uni-Mix® Integral Concrete Colorant and Uni-Mix® Liquid Integral Concrete Colorant integral coloring systems, PermaCast® Shake-on Color Hardener, PermaCast® Sierra Stain™, T1000® Fine Overlay, and T1000® Stampable Overlay. It is suitable for residential or commercial projects, interior floors, exterior hardscapes, and vertical surfaces.
Clear Guard® Cure and Seal visually enhances the concrete color, protects the surface from dirt and staining, and minimizes the affects of de-icing salts and exposure to gas or oil. It is well suited for application to cured concrete to prevent absorption or penetration of many fats, oils, greases, aliphatic solvents, salts, acids, and other chemicals. By preventing penetration of these compounds, Clear Guard® Cure and Seal provides good economical protection for floors and hardscapes, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
As a curing compound, it improves the surface strength, abrasion resistance, and durability of the concrete, and reduces the potential for plastic cracking. It forms a moisture barrier that prevents free lime in the concrete from migrating and reacting at the surface, forming a dust
residue. Curing with Clear Guard® Cure and Seal also provides interim construction protection from most oils, greases, chemical spills, and from the adhesion of mortar splashes. Final cleanup costs are reduced and the resulting concrete surface appearance is greatly enhanced.
Clear Guard® Cure and Seal can also be applied to old concrete, terrazzo, brick, and masonry tiles to dust proof and impart stain and chemical resistance.
Clear Guard® Cure and Seal is a Methyl Methacrylate Acrylic copolymer specifically designed to meet the moisture retention properties of AASHTO M 148, ASTM C309, and ASTM C1315, when applied at the recommended coverage rate. It is a clear liquid (25% solids by weight), which
dries to a high gloss, breathable, UV resistant film. Clear Guard® Cure and Seal complies with all VOC (<700 g/L) requirements and other Federal and State Air Quality Regulations. Be sure to check the VOC requirements in your area prior to use. The longevity of Clear Guard® Cure and Seal depends upon the dried film thickness, exposure, and use conditions. Clear sealers will scratch and scuff, and will require maintenance. Treated surfaces are readily
recoated with adequate cleaning.
