Preparation
PREPARATION
Protect people, vehicles, property, plants and all surfaces not set to receive Pantheon Concrete Sealer from product, splash and wind drift. Use polyethylene or other protective material.
Pantheon Concrete Sealer may be applied to existing, cured concrete of any age. Surfaces must be clean and structurally sound. Remove all foreign materials including bond breakers, curing agents, surface grease and oil, and construction debris using the appropriate surface prep cleaner.
Follow cleaning with thorough water rinsing.
Neutralize and rinse acid-stained concrete before applying. Application may begin as soon as prepared surfaces are dry.
Surface and Air Temperatures: For application should be 50-85°F (10-29°C).
Equipment: Apply with a pump sprayer and flat mop with microfiber pad, or a pour can and heavyweight T-bar for rough or porous floors. DO NOT use a string mop.
NOTE: For stripping and maintaining asbestos containing flooring, follow OSHA or EPA guidelines.
ALWAYS TEST each surface for suitability and results before overall application.
Dilution & Mixing: Apply as packaged. Do not dilute or alter, or use other than as specified. Mix well before use.
Typical Coverage Rates: Variations in surface texture, concrete quality, porosity, job-site conditions, temperature and relative humidity affect coverage and drying. The following figures are for estimating only.
Estimated Coverage Rates
- 1000-2000 square feet per gallon depending on conditions
- 25-50 square meters per Liter depending on conditions
Calculating Project-Specific Target Coverage Rate
- Prepare a clean, dry and absorbent test area.
- Place one gallon of Pantheon into a clean pump sprayer. Use the following Application Instructions. Repeat as needed for the desired finish.
- Measure the test area and the amount of Pantheon Concrete Sealer applied to get the Target Coverage Rate per gallon. Protect the completed test area from moisture for at least 4 hours.
Application
APPLICATION
The product may be applied to broomed, steel troweled, honed, polished or highly polished interior concrete surfaces.
- Fill pump sprayer with Pantheon. Mix well. Lightly wet a clean microfiber pad with Pantheon Concrete Sealer, leaving the pad damp.
- Spray-apply Pantheon to the surface. Spread with a flat mop and damp microfiber pad. Work from one control joint to another.
NOTE: If floor is porous or rough, use a pour can and heavyweight T-bar to apply.
- Maintain a thin, even coating and wet edge. Stop spreading once drying begins. Do not overlap. Rinse mop between coats.
- Allow to dry tack free, typically 20-40 minutes.
- Repeat steps 1-4. Two coats minimum for stain protection. 3-4 coats for high gloss results.
FOR CURE ‘N SEAL USE:
- Spray-apply at a rate of 200-400 sq. ft. per gallon (5-10 m2 per liter) depending on conditions. If applying to raw concrete that has never been polished, apply at a rate of 300-500 sq. ft. per gallon (7-12 m2 per liter). Coverage will improve after each coat.
- If desired, for a more uniform appearance, use a roller applicator with ½-inch nap.
Protect from water for 4 hours. At 72°F (22°C) and 40% relative humidity, product dry times are:
- To Touch: 30-60 minutes
- Light Foot Traffic: 4 hours
- Normal traffic: overnight
The product gains its full stain repellency properties in 7 days.
Cleanup: Before the product dries, clean tools and equipment with fresh water.
